    Salesperson - short for "annoying middleman between the customer and the guys who actually know what the fuck they're talking about". :D

    I'm a floor guy. You know, the ones who ACTUALLY do work and produce. Management, engineering, planners, buyers, logistics, ALLLLLLLLLL suck. Lol.

    No I quit that. Man boobs are not hot. Specially the 300 pound guys. Nor the 200 pound chicks. Bitches be all flagrant and shit. Fuck that.

    I really hate to say it, but Metalhead's story is starting to sound eerily similar to caferace's stories.

    Don't go to Mexico Richie whatever you do! :(

    Yeap.

    5K ain't much, start shaking the bushes for a gig that might suck but will fill your wallet. :)

    I’m in sales and would love to comment but I’m riding my dual sport for the next 9 days. Maybe I’ll reply when I get back.

    That is the type of skeezo that needs someone to put lumps all over his head. People like that give the whole profession a bad name.

    Best sales guy I ever worked with never made the first sale because he relied on brutal honesty. But he knew what he was selling since he worked for the competition and also worked for me in the field and almost always got the followup work at an increased rate. He almost made me blow a snot bubble in a meeting one time as the client asked why the competition had so many more capabilities than we did. His response was "because they are fucking lying to you" and then went on to tell the client exactly how our competitor was going to screw them. The look on their faces was priceless. Even better was when the client called back because they ran off the people they originally gave the work to because our sales guy had nailed what the competition was going to do.

    I’m in sales and worked later than any of the “floor”people today to get the job done. Even told one guy to go home because he was getting all angry, sloppy, and driving dangerously on the fork lift because he was going to have to work an extra 30 minutes to finish a job he screwed up. I got on the fork lift and finished his job while he walked away to clock out.

    We definitely have issues with some of our mill guys and their work ethics and will need to sort it out. Fking lazy old people.

    I keep saying we have issues when we have sales finishing loading trucks that material handling and production keep fucking up after repeated instruction

    Not the prettiest but it weighed out perfectly for the step deck trailer and will be delivered first thing Monday AM

    You’re a good welder. Open up a little shop and take on cash jobs that interest you. Work when you need money, fuck off when you don’t.

    :stupid: Just keep it low key enough that the government don't come poking around thinking you're running a business. Cash only.

    I’m in sales, and while the floor guys get to go home at 5 everyday I am on the road. They sleep in their own beds, and I spend 200 nights a year in motels. They have weekends off, I have trade shows and windshield time. Sales is awesome.

    Yeah, but you get to have an expense account, millions of travel points for personal trips, and a secret family in another town!
