They must REALLY want me to stay

[The Snowman]

I have been pretty unhappy with my job (the travel expectations) over the summer months and I think they finally realized that I was close to looking for a new job, because I got a note from the HR department of the company that I work for that effective 10/1/2008 (my anniversary) they are giving me a 10% raise.

Considering that I will be getting 2 months of retro pay, the dream of buying a track bike is becoming more of a reality. Now, if I can only locate one that I like and others consider worth buying.

Congrats Chuck

I'll keep a lookout for you for a nice trackbike, some good deals on Tards floating around

[kamikaze]

Would you like a ZX7R as a track bike?

Yeah, I've seen a few on the WERA board, but I think I'd prefer a traditional track bike.

But motards do look like fun.

Have to be honest, I REALLY considered it.

Just not mechanically inclined enough to redo a bike from street to track.

Hi Chuck. I can help with whatever you need...just gotta ask.

BTW; congrats on the raise! So that 10% puts you well into the 6-figures, right?

Still low. I still made more as a consultant when all the dot coms were flourishing. And that was 7 years ago. Times have definitely changed.

As for the bike, I'm still bent on an SV. I have one I really want to look at (not the one I showed you), but it's 3 hours away.

In which direction? Maybe a road trip is in order?


BTW; if it makes you feel better, I've seen only 1 raise in 4 years...to the tune of 63 whole cents! I have to threaten to quit in order to see anything.....which reminds me....

Carmel, NY (If it's still for sale by the time I'm ready to buy.)

Uhg... I'm in the same boat... 5 years & I'm only making .75/hr more than starting fuckin pay.

10% is fuckin huge. Congrats, Chuck!

congrats Chuck, Pete that sucks. On a side note jobs like yours only pay as much as you get. @ least you got a job,the only thing that sucks more then work is no work.

For once we agree. This raise actually came at a good time.

My wife is supposed to be getting laid off in March, so time to stockpile a little cash, in case the package they give her isn't great.

Who cares so long as you end up with a race bike, right?

And keep my house. Need a place to store the bike.

Well lucky you guys, I just happen to have 2 empty bedrooms in my duplex.

You can cook, she can clean, I'll gladly store the bikes, life is good.

Hmmm, I can see that. My son is a cool dude, so he'll get along with everyone. Even play RockBand with DB.

With a little persuasion and fun he can. Just have to add a snowball fight into the mix.

Might be time to take some time off and tend to business Chuck.

I was just gonna chase him around with my neighbor's snowblower.....THAT should be persuasion enough, eh?

That would work.

I'll start prepping the rooms for your arrival!

Hey Paul got room for a few Hawks????????? One might be Chucks if I can persuade him over to the Hawknation









































































Hey Chuck ............................

SV's


Suck

A few?? Sure but methinks one might disappear at some point...

[ThisBitch]

Its not 10%, but I think you deserve it.

Doubt it. Although my preference is riding a Honda, Hawk parts are hard to come by and CBR600Fx and CBR600RR's would probably be a little more expensive for tires than I really want to pay for.

Hey Chuck ............................
SV's
Suck

Then how come so many people use them as race bikes?

I'm so confused.
