    "only an idiot thinks that people are never emotional. I got emotional, I went to a place to get myself unemotional - period. he knows when I need my ass kicked and this wasn"t one of those times. I was already beating myself up over getting emotional - him being a dick on top of that wasn"t...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    Only women can get away with talking like that. I"d have 0 self respect for myself if I said anything remotely similar to that to my boss. When I interviewed for my current job they promised me a promotion at the 1 year mark. Nearing the 1 year mark I start asking my boss what"s up with my...

    So Lyrical, I took your advice about reading Millionaire Next Door and the Millionaire Mind. I"ve read most of the first and the first half was pretty good, lots of info I hadn"t considered before but the next 1/4 of the book has all been about how rich people fuck over their kids by giving them...

    Salary Negotiation

    Lyrical stated he pays his guys better than ANY other similar company does. How much more does a person have to do? He said he gives them 35 hours even if they only work 10 in the winter months also. I see the point that if Lyrical benchmarks his company against his competitors it"s fair for...

    Salary Negotiation

    I agree that salary privacy is a good thing. Here at the government we"re on the GS system and it"s just a pay band based on your rank. Everyone knows about what a person makes if they know what rank and step they are in the pay scale. The entire pay system is a product of mediocre or worse...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    So I didn"t get the whole discussion over taxes. Was Ashes breaking balls that the country doesn"t have more jobs because guys like Lyrical are skirting taxes? Pardon me if I"m a little slow, just wanted to understand all that was said.

    My grad school gpa is 3.67 right now for engineering. I don"t know how much being a former Marine would help but I"m sure I"d list it. (slight distinction: ex Marine means you got kicked out, former means you got out honorably, some guy explained it to me my last year, no big deal...) I"ve...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    That"s what I was thinking when I suggested a separate company I suppose. Obviously you"d have to have lower wages for lawn services and a separate company could shield one company from the other if you wanted that. I guess you"d have to weigh it out to see if it"s worth having a less profitable...

    I hope you build late payment fees into the future estimates of companies/people that do that shit to you. I think if I were you I would track that and run a quick calc on how much interest you lost on previous jobs waiting for payment and put that into future bids if you thought you could...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    Reading through the thread here you said you do high end landscaping which sounds like a 1 time deal to me but you make good cash on it. Later on in the thread you talk about partnering up with other businesses for referrals and various other methods of advertising. At another point you...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    My uncle runs his own mobile home set up business and finding good help is a serious pain in the ass. Seems like that"s true for ALL manual labor jobs imo. If in cutting expenses you cut staff in the winter how do you maintain loyalty among your staff and get them to work hard? My uncle did a...

    Would you hate your life, if you were this ugly, and your GF was this ugly and fat?

    Fuck can"t edit: That obviously is not cock they are spelling there. The first letter and the third are different. Aychamo"s cool with me but he obviously had cock on the brain posting that shit.

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    I have my share of heartbreak stories but no pics to go along w/out a scanner and figuring out how to host them. If the thread takes off I"ll dish. The only ones that broke me down were pretty anyway, why let a ugly chick break your heart? lol
