After I watched both my parents work their entire lives with hopes of retiring at some point.. And the time came that they were financially comfortable, their health was far below normal.. They never got to enjoy what they worked so hard for.. So.. long story short.. I work, I pay the bills, but if I want to take a day or a week or a month off. I do.. life is too short to punch a time clock or feel like you are on one. I take on average 9 weeks vacation time per year, all major holidays and Elvis's birthday.. Hey, its my biz.. I make the rules..
Yeah, Me and Elvis are alot alike, "I'm just a hunka hunka burnin luv!!"

Continue with the positive outlook, that is what makes a good service tech/salesman. Best to you in 08. Scott
