I pulled the trigger. Done deal. I am officially "Retiring" from the Auto care/Tire business once and for all! No more 70-80 hour work weeks, no weekends, no cheap-*** sonsabitches arguing over stupid BS. I'm going back to being a "DotCommer". Time to let somebody else suffer the headaches. I can't wait until the first time I get to roll one of my cars into a shop as a customer so I can act like a pain in the *** and bitch about paying 20 bucks for an oil change!!! It's going to be awesome.

u kiddin me? 70-80 hrs a week @ a shop will drive ya nuts (ya didn't already go insane did ya?? )

 

That's what I'm talking about. I used to work in a place like that. Long hours is right!! BS customers...preach on brother!! Enjoy the life.

Congrats on being able to do that. Is that retirement, or just going for a change?? So, now you'll be more available to listen to our rants and bitches, right??

 

Not retirement from working, just getting out of that God forsaken business. I'm going back to parking my butt in an office chair in front of a computer. I'm a computer nerd from way back... Even before I was a car guy. I've been doing web related stuff on the side for a long time. I just don't want the hassles of owning or managing a store anymore. When the right guy comes along waving enough money around, ya just gotta take it I've been aching to get out for a long time now. I just didn't have a good opportunity to do it until now. It's going to be so nice not having to deal with all that crap anymore. I feel a hundred pounds lighter already. So long Big O!!!!!

Congratulations Rod! Now, take 3 months off and work on that Z!

 

that would drive him more insane that the old job

 

LOL..... I'm headed in the opposite direction. I'm attempting to go from the gravy megacorp job to sole proprietorship. At least it won't be retail.

 

I'm all for owning your own business, I will do it again... Just not in the automotive field. I'm planning on a return to being a typical corporate American ****.

Viva La Desk Jockey!!!

Rod.

 

Dah! 4 years I've been sittin at this desk... even when promoted, I stayed at this desk.... It's about time to get a diff job... something that requires more technical skills than billing!
