    About Leaving FedEx Custom Critical

    Phil is a celebrity. There are some people who hang on his every word and want to know the smallest details of his every day life. There are even paparazzi who stalk Phil to get pictures of him while grocery shopping or heading to the hair salon. People eat it up, they can't get enough. On the...

    Phil made the jump

    Panther babysits its contractors. It can be very frustrating at times. Am I unprofessional for saying that?

    Tractor trailer crashes into Amtrak train

    He'll still probably experience what its like to be put under a microscope, except it'll be a literal and not a figurative one. :D

    headset (bluetooth)

    Yeah. Most all of 'em do, I think. I plug my Nokia stereo headphones into it for extended listening to save the battery on both the phone and the headphones. But for handsfree phone calls while working on the van or driving down the road with a lot of background noise, I prefer my noise...

    What's underneath a van that can be damaged, and where?

    I suppose it sounds like a lot of maintenance, but it's not. You're supposed to keep the decking clean anyway, free of debris, dirt, oil and oil stains, and spending 15 minutes once a year scrubbing it, and then another 15 or 20 minutes laying down 2-3 coats of Polycrylic makes keeping it clean...

    Texting in Indiana

    Yep. The Final Rule amends current regulations to include a texting conviction as a “serious traffic violation” that could result in disqualification of a driver’s Commercial Drivers License (CDL). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, specifically §391.15, are amended by the Final...

    headset (bluetooth)

    The 250 doesn't have Multipoint Connection. It'll pair with multiple devices, same as your old one, but you have to force it to change devices. Normally, it'll just automatically connect to the last device it connected to. So if multiple phones is a big thing, you may want to look at the...

    About Leaving FedEx Custom Critical

    That would be fine if the person leaving in 2 weeks harbored no ill will towards the company they are leaving. But if they do, then they have abundant opportunities to do some damage.

    headset (bluetooth)

    Well, the links were to the product pages at the manufacturer, I didn't mean to indicate that I was recommending buying it at full price from them. But, here's price comparisons for the BlueParrott B250-XT headset And for the BlueParrott Xpressway headset I've seen the B250-XT for $70...

    Phil made the jump

    Several reasons, one being that he spoke about it here online. You'll do well at FedEx, in whatever division you may be in, as long as you tow the company line, are a "company man" through and through, believe that you exist to serve them, and believe that FedEx itself walks on water. As soon as...

    headset (bluetooth)

    I've spent $100 several times on a Bluetooth headset. I've had two different kinds of Jawbones, half a dozen different Motorolas, Plantronics and several others, all told probably 12-15 different headsets in all price ranges, easily $1000 or more over the years. The ones with the little 2 inch...

    What's underneath a van that can be damaged, and where?

    I've had the same piece of plywood on my deck for 5 years, and from the looks of it it'll outlast the van. I have 9 feet of decking, but 12 feet would be the same, where you put the smaller piece onto the end of the 8 foot piece, and then fill the gap with wood filler and sand it down really...

    Texting in Indiana

    It depends on the wording of the law. The states which consider you as "moving" while at a stop light don't really consider you as "moving", they consider you to be "operating" the motor vehicle, which is how the language reads in the law. Many seat belt laws are written that way, too, where you...

    Nearly 35,000 Ford workers sign grievance over pay

    No, it wasn't. Go to any high school of your choice, ask them to borrow a text book about US History, and then open it up and read it. You can also look in the archives of the newspapers of the day, read letters from both slaves and slave owners (including the letters of Thomas Jefferson) about...

    Nearly 35,000 Ford workers sign grievance over pay

    Its not anyore like pit bulls than it is slavery. The examples you gave above aren't even remotely close to slavery, either. "Forced" to work when sick? Not even. They have a choice. Yes, its a real shame that we don't live under Marxism where everybody is just as rich as everyone else, but...

    Obama along with other countries to tap oil reserves

    OK, you got me. It's all about the president and his re-election campaign. Same as it was in 1991 and after Katrina. You win. I'm blind.
