Yep, funny how it actually came about.

Back in late March, I got an email on Facebook from Dennis at Acura of Peoria, my former competitor, asking me if I was working yet. Now they're all the way in Phoenix, so I thought, huh? I responded saying that I wasn't. Four days later I'm on a plane to Phoenix for an interview, and they hired me on the spot, working from home in Buffalo doing the same job that I have for many years.....for a dealership 3,000 miles away.

Been working for them since April. Funny how life is

Glad things are working out.

Congratulations!!!

I love a happy ending...sniff, sniff!!!

For what's it's worth, my wife and myself are taking or turn in the circle. Which is good in a way, everyone needs to get slapped down from time to time.

Just remember, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets vicious."

Personally, I don't care for it, but I've done it before. I may die, but it won't be from eating dog food.

PS: I'm an asshole, when push comes to shove.
