Thing is, you haven't been following the TOSAT in long time, the company that will soon be my 'former employer' for many months was making payments late due to various excuses ... Now, they can't renew my contract since someone made a mistake for my position authorization and my position is not authorzed untill 2012, so, between October and December 2011, what was I supposed to do? I took an offer for a bit less money that has actually become an offer that will make me more money than my actual salary, more hours and more responsibilities ...

Good part is, this company I'll start working for is a customer of my soon to be former employer ... so come October, I stop working for big company, next day I start working for small local company !!!
I think the story about not authorizing your position is bullshit.

The guy they hired as the new boss made that shit up so you'd leave.

S'OK...you're better off.

I'm just repeating their side of the story ...

The breakdown with new job:
Base salary $850.00
Commissions[monthly]: 10% of gross shop's production
Yearly bonus: 10% of shop's net production


The first two add up to aprox $1400.00/month ... The last one should be a nice big fat check in December ... I guess ;D

The shop is now producing about $12000.00/month, I can take it to upwards of $15000.00 with my strategy of opening the doors to other non-European brands and changing to service and maintenance job only; no big repairs <these bring no $$

So, yes, at the end I get more $$ for a bit more responsibilities and hours ... Bad part is, no more traveling at company's expense, no more 4 or 5 star hotels ... or lousy customs officers that want some $$ for the equipment you're carrying to work with ...

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Larry Pegram set a track record at BeaveRun. . .

55.8 :o

I run a 1:10 - 1:07 or 1:08 and that's probably an 8 or 9/10's pace (gotta leave the 1/10 to try and stay upright)

The Expert wera riders are hovering around a minute flat, for perspective.

55.8 is make the beast with two backsing fast!
