Re: Movin on up.

LOL @ everyone, especially JB. I can't be the "Horse" That nickname belongs to my grandpa. I owe a lot of my work ethic from him. After he retired he worked part time in the stockroom at the local Target for some ectra income. My first job in High School was working there with him. He was nicknamed the "Iron Horse" because he never called in, always was at work, and was akways working harder than people 1/4 his age. When I started working someone started calling me Pony, and the name has stuck ever since. At work people rarely call me by my real name even now. If you asked where Matt is they wouldnt know who you were talking about.

I am definately still planning a day trip at the moment for that weekend. Being that I make everyones schedule including my own, I can pretty much garuantee that I will have off.I work Mon-Fri with the new job anyways (that is rare in retail!).

Re: Movin on up.

I've always been told that there are two types of workers. One is a worker who is there for a paycheck and the other is the one who is there to provide a service.

How cruel to post this after a post like my other one! LOL

Anyway, good job! LOL

Not a bad idea.... A place with a shop where you can put the boat and work on it!!​

Right on!!
You're moving up, and I'm moving down. I'm about desperate enough to apply at Target about now. Do they have greeters? !!!

Great News Pony. Definately agree with your on your change in majors at school. Archetecture (sp) is ruthless, a budy of mine did it for a while and I think many people wouldnt start it if they knew all the work and attidudes involved.
