It's like it woke the old girl up! A very noticeable difference in pick-up, etc based on the butt dyno.

Racetrac are redoing a lot of their stores so hopefully this is a trend here. They also had no ethanol gas at two of their 20 pumps as well. All the others had e-85, diesel and the regular trio of gas blends. The two with no ethanol didn't have e-85.

Man, I put E85 in my Suburban all the time, but it never really does much except make it worse on gas!

Well, there is that. I haven't run enough to tell the difference but since I use the Suburban mostly around town, its only a degree of worse.

Battlefield 1 is fun. But I'm having a hell of time connecting to multiplayer. Much sadness.

So I've been promoted, accepted it last week.

Nice little pay bump along with staying on nights for the incentive. Also get a tiny "IT products" bonus.

Only thing that prevents me from truly celebrating is the fact that they have no plans on backfilling me so I will be asked to do a dual role position - essentially my old job along with new job. Really not too happy about that.

Guess I'll use this as a resume booster for the time being and keep looking elsewhere.

Does the extra pay cover both positions, or are they expecting you to cover the previous position out of the goodness of your heart?

So now you can work more hours at more rate before? Then work a little more to get enough money for a house, or pc game... maybe car parts and dolls

I'm betting that's a big NO. Steve has an awful big heart

Contrary to popular belief it is common that the further you move up the ladder the more work you have to do. Don't know how this surprises people really.

Last night, I bought 20 of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo (750ml). Why? Cuz one of my client request to buy it and ship it to him in Japan. Who knew they don't sell it in Japan.
