You guys know that I've become a pilot since I closed the shop.
This is the true events of my flying today.
I was hired to fly some Business/executive guys to Homestead (Near Miami) and then drive them to their meeting at a mall. I hung out at the mall at the food court and put on another 10-12 lbs, and then we rode back when they concluded their meeting.
As we're driving back, we get cut off in traffic by a Ford Explorer. It has a bumper sticker that says "Obama 08." The guys says, "Typical Obama supporter... Me, me, me." I replied, "I take it you're not a big Obama supporter." He says, "Don't get me started."
He pauses for a moment and then goes on..."Thanks to Obama's new tax strategy, I had to make some decisions because I am going to get pretty hard. There were only two choices, I had to raise my rates, or fire some employees. Well, I can't raise my rent because it's an already competitive market. So, I ran the numbers and I was forced to let 6 employees go. The problem was, which 6 employees? They're all pretty good and I don't really have a problem with any of them. It's hard to sit there and decide who has to go. So I made up my mind. I went out in the parking lot and picked out 6 random cars that had an Obama sticker. I fired those 6 people." My eyes lit up, "You're kidding me right?" He shook his head, "No, not at all. As far as I'm concerned, they created the problem by voting him in, they should be held accountable. They were desperate for change... Well, here's some change for you."
Can't help but laugh at this. I really like this guy. :lol::headbang:
