well my Monday sucked. after 14yrs working for this company they let me go yesterday. was told by the owner he didn't like how I was running the shop. we've gotten into it several times over the last few months.been running the shop for over 10yrs. don't really understand what the hell happened he put my tech on a quarterly bonus and a yearly bonus and they made it all last year including the yearly bonus.

he ran the shop before I took over and I double his numbers in the shop for several yrs then during the down turn it was tough. have to go in today and get the rest of my tools.

had the local cummins dealer call me back in 2011 to run there shop and I turned it down. so I called them yesterday which they are right around the corner from my old place. I am also real good friends with the local CAT dealer service manger so I called him he has something lined up for me at one of there dealers but its not in town it would be an hr drive or so. so I will talk to them tomorrow and see what they have to offer..

I will make some other phone calls today to see if there is anything out there. don't really want to go back to turning wrenches but I will o what I have to to take care of my family.. might just get out the of the business all together and get into something else. or I thought about going to there competition and talking to them and steal all of my customers from them see how he likes that.. that's where they got me from..

to say the least it was a sucky st patties day for me...
