Yeeeeeeep an OG Prinsu. Should seal up good. Trucks sits inside when I’m not wheeling it. I like it so far. Most likely will regret it in a couple years lol

 

Well a Prinsu is probably a much better quality rack than the Smittybilt one I had lol, lower profile too. I ended up really disliking the higher profile on mine.

 

Ok I think I found out who it was, had to do a deep dive into my Outlook history and I've narrowed it down to 2 people...so someone is going to get a random email and the other is going to get what they wanted

 

The T100 I want

 

Actual recipient "So uhm...Ryan, I never got that email?"

Two other co-workers at the same time "So what's that email about?"

 

It sits about perfect.

 

I know of a guy who sent his 100 to NorCal to be converted to a 105. Now the sum bitch dog tracks down the road. All fucked up. the fab show doesn't want to do anything about it. Based on people's experience with the shop on small items, he should have known better than to do business with him.

 

I decided to try one at a time and luckily got it right the first try lol

 

I've had that happen before but I usually ask their name. Even for people that I do know, to show them that I don't think they are important enough for me to remember their name

 

Asks CEO for their name*

 

Fair enough. I actually just found this thread detailing almost exactly what that guy was asking about.

Funny story, back when I was freelancing the biggest gig I ever had was a recurring advertising photoshoot for the company Visalus (one of those health/protein shake MLM pyramid scheme companies). They were huge in the early/mid 2000s before they got bought out

Anyway, my first shoot for them I was supposed to photograph all the members for this big convention they were having for their top sellers. About halfway through the day this guy walks in for his photo, and I ask him what his name is, what he does, etc etc. Like I did for everyone that came in.

Dude looks at me and scoffs and goes, uh....I own this company

was a big 'fuck me' moment lol

 

One of my coworkers did that, but he was drunk at the Christmas party 2 years ago.

 

Gotta watch those fragile little CEO egos! They require constant affirmation or the poor things just can’t function

Most of the CEOs that I have encountered are true narcissistic sociopaths, to the degree that I figure it’s an implied requirement for the job

 

Went to a Christmas party at Time Warner in FL. Two of the administrative assistants got drunk and started fighting over one of their husbands. Then one started hollering well you are fucking Herb and we all know it. Herb's wife was there.

 

Oh man, reminds me of a situation that actually happened at our dealership maybe a year before I quit

When you walk in, you're greeted by this desk up front



Anyway, woman comes in all loud asking what the receptionist name is (until she saw it on her name tag) and it went something like "ok, so you're the bitch he's sleeping with. I just wanted to see it for myself"

The woman? My co-worker's wife, as he was the finance manager at that dealership

Big oof

 

She was a sexretary

 

"Corporate Sociopath" is a coined term in the psychiatric community because of how prevalent it is with upper management. I would imagine even more so in bigger Fortune 500 companies and the like. Emotional detachment becomes a useful tool
