Iowa Tacomas (Idiots.Out.Wandering.Around)

5 weeks, plus 10 federal holidays

of course, for the first 4 years it was only 4 weeks.... Lol

Sadly, most of us use more than half of our PTO to work side jobs to make up for the crappy pay.

 

my first job had a week. it was so dumb. I've been at 3+ weeks since then.

 

it's wild how many studies are out there to prove the benefits of having good vacation plans and yet so many companies barely give their employees time off and they wonder why people hate working for them

 

bingo. a lot of companies havent figured out that people will actually be way more productive if you dont constantly bend them over. give them some flexibility and thats hugely valuable. Last job I had, I lost a bunch of vacation time because something would always conveniently come up whenever I was planning to use it..

working in IT, so much stuff can be done remotely these days yet a lot of companies are still adamantly against it. with the COVID stuff, there are some places that never would have considered it, that now realize it isnt so bad after all. there are others that still think its the worst thing on the planet - typically due to micromanagement and control freaks. People will also take less pay, in exchange for benefits like flexible work schedules and being able to work remotely.

 

first Job out of school I had 0 for the first 6 months then 5 for the next 6 months. Went up to 2 weeks after the first year and will go up as I'm here longer.

 

I am not really 'in the market’ as much as not passing up any better opportunities should they exist.

 

Gotcha. I couldn’t remember. Also my brain is mush lol

 

Welp... I think I need one.

 

Not interest... In.. IN the market... Lmao. My brain is also a bit mush. I really needed this day off.

 

PS they are giving $6700 in incentives on the Supra's right now. At least at my dealer. It's super tempting but I'm not sure I could get past the wife filter.

 

@Shellshock you have a job now.

 

you guys are terrible

 

"Because TW"

 

How is everybody in Iowa faring, with all this social distancing and whatnot?

 

I was social distancing before it was cool

 

Yeah, I was always good at avoiding crowds and such way before.

 

They should offer it in a stick shift version; I met a guy at Cars and Coffee sometime last year who worked for Toyota, and he brought a production Supra the same color as the one in the pictures...

The car was a production model, with a VIN and thus legally able to be titled and registered; I live in Pennsylvania, but the car had Texas manufacturer plates if I remember correctly. The guy told me that while the car could legally be sold, it was a very early production model destined for a vocational school to train Toyota technicians on how to work on the new BMW engine. This guy also told me that Toyota had built one manual Supra, but it had been "destroyed" and there were no plans to offer the production Supra with a third pedal

 

Same here; I have Aspergers and I was a bit of a recluse in my late teenage years...

Then in late 2009 I was discovered the joys of Tacoma ownership and all that entails!

 

$6700 off puts it at? 50k?

actually don’t answer that

 

is DSM having the cars and coffee show any time soon or is it on hiatus?
