Best fucking news ever.
 

So I'm at school today doing an alignment on my instructor's truck when my cell phone rings....the following conversation made my ------- week!!!! At my job that I started 5 1/2 weeks ago I get a shitty base rate + 10% commission on labor and 5% commission on parts.

My boss: Do you have your paycheck on you?
Me: No, why?
Boss: Well it looks like we fucked up and I wanted to make sure of it before I ran all this paperwork through.
Me: How did you ---- up?
Boss: Well, it looks like we have been paying you the part-time employee commission rate.
Me: Ok, so what does that mean?
Boss: That means that your next paycheck is going to be your base rate for 2 weeks, your proper commission for 2 weeks, and roughly $1200 in backpay.



------- AWESOME!!!!!!!! My christmas shopping is already done, and now on the 20th I've got an extra $1200 just sitting around. I may get my car done in a timely fashion now!

Bitchin! :6

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

---- i could have me my 350 in with forged pistons and rods with that money. wish my job would give the dough.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

Ain't nothin better than free money O0

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

all I need to get the car driving is clutch, ECU, map sensor, and axles. Painting it is another story. :S

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

my TA is drivable, it just needs a new motor. it has a slight rod knock and im beginning to loss faith in it.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

well, after mine runs, it's time for brakes, suspension, paint/body, finish roll cage, finish interior.....so it's a long way, but starting it will be a little victory

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

I hope you atleast flat-blacked the bitch, that civic was uggggly

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

I dont even make $1200 in a month and i work full time :-X

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

Nope, she's worse now. Some of the paint is the same, some of the car has been spray painted random colors, the pass rear quarter is sanded down of the original red, the hood is spray painted urban camo......it may have been "uggggly" in the past, now it's just straight up horrendous.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

That sucks. I go to school 30 hrs/wk, I work 35-45 hrs/wk and I pull in a whole lot more than that.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

lol yeah i know i got that alot. im not sure on paint yet but flat black is on the list of possible colors. for now primer is fine. i want my 350 a buddy is holding for me(i have half the money for it right now, rest is next week). im gonna put my top section of my 305 on for now so i can drive it and not have that horrible rod knock sound, and get the 350 heads built into 202's over the winter. while im waiting on the rest of the parts to be shipped to me for the civic and once i get it running im trading my civic for a tunnel ram system with two 500 cfm race carbs, and some cash. its a head ache to me so im just gonna get rid of it and do a HMT setup on american muscle(TA possibly, or a older s10 with a 4banger in it,which i plan to get because i need it. lol) for shits and giggles.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

i work 50hrs a week m-f sat and sun off

roughly....1800-2000month for entry level for my place

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

In that case we definitely need pics :y

you need an update thread too ;)

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

bumped just for you

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

is this in reference to me. because if so there aint much to update......its been sitting the last 6 months but it is started each week to run for a while.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

Umm, nope to Darkelvis.

I just wanted to see the hideous state the paint is in.

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

:-X

Hope the pistons in the 350 have some deep dishes. Ready to run premium plus ocatane booster? You will have really crisp throttle response with the 305 heads, but the compression will be pretty dan high.

Dude please tell me you aren't really gonna put a tunnel ram on that thing. Are you goin for, "the look?"

What casting are the 350 heads? It may not be worth you time to add valves that increase shrouding on top of shitty ports.

Sorry.

/of thread jack. ;D

Re: Best fucking news ever.
 

And we just happen to carry all those things... :y

Congrats on the bonus!
