2 weeks ago I got a new boss. This isn't working out very well! :|

I recently read that the most common reason people quit their job was dissatisfaction with their immediate supervisor.

Just hit my 15 year anniversary 2 weeks ago....and I've quit at least 10 times this week already.

Stand up to your new boss - then call me :)

What should I call you?

Guys....I need suggestions.

OK, I was gonna suggest "The Honorable Captain Ahab", but I suppose you have something else already picked out.

Dissension Always! :twisted:

Cyanide? Concrete shoes? TNT?

At 2 weeks, you're still in the honeymoon phase - somebody's just going the wrong way about an Aretha Franklin hit.

DANG....we're getting so much closer to this "quitting" idea. I can't EVER remember being so unhappy at work.

Okay, I've got a massive case of new boat envy.

A few guys at work have decided that their their "old" boats (and by old I mean manufactured in the last 10 years) need to go and are moving up to more current models. To make matters worse, they're pestering me to get off the fence and get one too -

Personally, I'd love a new boat - but I hate the thought of making payments (for more than I've spent on ANY vehicle I've ever owned) on something that'll I'll use for 5months, and possibly 10-15 times a year. :? Especially when the 12'er fits so well in the garage now, is paid for like 60 times over, and I can abuse THEIR new boats and go fishing with them...

I think I'd chase down a new tinny if I had a 3 car garage... Still keeping an eye out for a ~15' V with decent freeboard that I can gut out and make a CC with a 25hp 2stroke. (something I can remove in winter and store inside). That'd make me happy.

Still watchin' CL and making them whine... :LOL2:

I love boats and fishing!! But boats still are "toys" to me, which means I don't make payments on toys. I don't think I could enjoy fishing as much if I knew I had to make a boat payment each month, but that's just me. :LOL2:

Amen! Same goes for all my toys, second hand atvs, etc... Don't get me wrong I would love new, but I don't want the hassle.
 
I bought my first boat new (and financed). I don't regret it at all. I was new to boating so the warranty was greatly appreciated (and used). I would have been over my head trying to shop for a used boat. motor and trailer. Now with more experience about boats, motors and trailers, I would be more comfortable shopping around for a used one. Of course my boat isn't but 6 years old so there is plenty of life still in it. I was the same way with our RV. Bought new, learned the ins and outs of maintenance and issues so that I will consider a used one when we decide to upsize (if we do). RV will be paid off on June 3, 2013.
 
You know, when you just went to your local hardware store, got everything you need for today's project, you're working away and half an hour later you realize, "dang it, I forgot to buy that part"...... I hate that :x

Well, that's better than what usually happens to me. I buy all the items on my list and get home and wonder what I was going to do with them.

I agree with your line of thinking quite a bit. I feel that if you know what you're doing, you'll have the advantage of expertise - if you don't know what you're doing, you're better off paying the premium to ensure that you'll get the expertise of those who are going to be maintenancing your vehicle/boat. I'll readily admit I know very little about motors, boat or otherwise so I haven't made the move over from electric. I also recognize that when I do move up to a boat, my wife will want something that can double as a fun boat, so I'm probably going to be on the hook for something with a bigger motor and more moving parts that I'll be able to work even less on.
