Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The A4 comes in a non-turbo version as well. The turbo version is a joy to drive. At one point, I had a A4-2T. The A4-3L wasn't nearly as nice-at least that's my opinion.

 

My plans for San Jose got cancelled just like that. I'm gonna quit my fucking job

 

huh? did i miss something?

 

Yup you were cleaning your truck.

 

That's a fucking outrage. Who is your boss? Let's get him on the phone immediately....

I'm sure there'll be another time. Heck, we'd let you come down and visit for a while.

 

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a good men's medium road bike I could borrow for about a month? I'm signing up for a charity ride for veterans and the killer ride is a 100 mile loop around mt diablo and into livermore, I'm gonna do the 60 mile one and I can do it on my MTB but i want to do the big one.

 

What does that someone get in return?!?!?!

 

uh, I bring it back in the condition I got it in? If anyone has a Cannodale super six laying around, that would be cool
IDK, renting for it? A hondo or something? Depends on the bike, if it's your Huffy from HS, I'll pass

 

It's bullshit. One guy who works at the shop can take a day off, no questions asked, at a moments notice. I ask a month in advance, and I am told to find someone to cover my day... Which there is NO ONE. Not gonna ask my brother to work a 6th day a week when they won't even pay him his overtime. I annihilate all but one kid in sales, and I can't even request a day off for a friends wedding, but this other dude can get one off to go fucking fish.

 

yeah that is pretty bullshit.
Iono how much of a risk you run at losing your job but id say just go.
Give them a call saying you cant come in and need to go.
Itll prob be a 50/50 shot of getting fired depending on warnings,write ups, etc.

 

Yeah his is the turbo.
Took me a little bit to get used to the handling since i dont have to slow down as much or take wider turns like in the truck.
The seats hugged you pretty well and the interior is alot tighter.
When i got into my truck it felt like i could put it in cruise control and start break dancing with all the room i had.

 

a boss like that is not worth having.

 

This.

 

So I've noticed... I've been here 4 months almost and have been looking for another job. I have had no issues while working here. Essentially, the job is great. The people aren't.

If I still have the job come the 15th, I'm just not gonna show. I have fallback jobs, they just aren't ideal. Doubt I'll get fired... But still. It's getting ridiculous. I don't say anything to all but 1 co worker. I just put my head down and hustle that mother fucker till 6pm rolls around haha.

Anybody hiring?? Hahahaha

 

The part that sucks is that you earn vacation time (at least you should be) and if you cannot make plans to use it then what good is it?

 

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, around noon, 9/2/12

 

At four months of employment is vacation time usually accrued by then? At my place it's one year to accrue that AND just to get health benefits. Three years to get your family on your health plan.

 

Ewww. I think I accrue approx 3.5 hours for every 12 hours I work.
Plus I get full benefits for my family and I.

 

Wait. So for every week that you work you get one paid vacation day?? So working one year will give you 52 days paid vacation?

We get full benefits too but they have to work one year and the employee gets it and three years to add the family on.

 

Yup. That's is about right.

And All full time employees get full benefits for family
