Got a new van!

“I pulled into the shop's parking lot today, furious at some employees laziness and backstabbing. I was getting outta my van when the head of our trans dept called me over. He is normally a surly SOB so I expected the worst. He pointed at a van and asked " Whats that?". I said a van. He said its yours. I said "Fred, I am not in the mood for this today". He said no really, its yours. So now I am the proud "owner" of a 2002 Ford E250 cargo van WITH AC! He said I got it cause my current vehicle had the lowest miles (11k) and it was needed elsewhere,plus he said that he appreciatted that I kept my van cleaner than anyone else. Boy oh boy are my partners green. I spent 3 hours tranferring my tools etc... It rules!”

“Way to go birch!

“There's something brown on your nose... :o) Nice going.”

“I would have bet money that Buddur started this thread.

Congrats on the new ride!”

“thats better than any of my thrift store scores :)”

“Stanlee, I have taken brown nosing at work into a new form of high art. Actually, I dont often see this chap he and I are in different depts. He told me one of the reasons he did this was to " piss people off". I think it worked.”

“I get alot of that where I work.

“You people are pathetic...Lol, but hey, if it works, why not?”

“Stanlee, I was being sarcastic. Like I said I dont even work with the transportation people. I keep a clean van cause I have literally thousands of ft of wire,and a few hundred pounds of fittings...

..."my courtesy to superior officers,neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow" part of the Ranger Creed.”

“There is one way to look at it if it gets you what you want at your job do it!

Becuase you are at your job for one thing and one thing only.

You!

“Congrats birch! It's good to see that neatness and attention to detail can truly pay off. Enjoy your new ride!”

“If only he wanted to set an example for others at home lol.

He's like a kid with a brand new toy. I haven't seen him this excited about a thing in a long time. =)”

“OH THAT'S RIGHT BIRCH, DON'T MAKE ANY #&%!$ING EFFORT TO GET OUT OF THE #&%!$ING VAN. IF GOD WANTED YOU OUT OF THERE HE WOULD HAVE MIRACLED YOUR ARSE OUT BY NOW, WOULDN'T HE?”

“lmao...now there's two of 'em eh?

“walkindude - I thougth the same thing you did!

Good job Birch. What # is it? Next time we're walking by the lot, I want to know which van is yours.”

“"I haven't seen him this excited about a thing in a long time."

Hmmm, so Sassafras, was that "thing" you? :o)”
