Last Tuesday I got a call from Mike at The Tire Rack. He told me that he was emailing me an offer at The Tire Rack. I called Katy and had her read me the offer which was emailed since I do not have internet at work. She read me the offer and that night we talked about what I was going to do. I really didn’t want to leave my current job working at Market Motors. I enjoy what I do and I’m treated well and the compensation is more than sufficient. I called Mike to make a counter offer and after some figuring of numbers I decided to accept the offer that was orignally given. I took a hair follicle test on Thursday and got an email today that I’m starting this coming Monday, November 6th. I think the major thing that is going to get some getting used to is the early hours. I have to be to work at 7am rather than 10am. This is no big deal since I don’t mind getting up early, I feel I get more done when I’m up early. The major pay off is I get out of work earlier since I go in early. I am also working with a good friend, Bill Pratt! I am looking forward to making new friends and broadening my work experience. The Tire Rack seems to be a pretty good company to work for, really good benefits and what not. Man I’m excited!

I just finished my follow up interview at The Tire Rack. We went out to lunch at Bobs 19th Hole in South Bend which turned out to be a pretty good meal. I went out with 4 other guys plus Mike Hoover who gave my first interview. The crew that I may be working with seem to be a pretty laid back guys. I would like to say thanks to Bill Pratt for getting me an interview in at The Tire Rack. Bill is a friend that is in the Computer Science Department at IUSB. I met bill back 4 years ago at Wal-Mart when I worked there which was before Bill went to IUSB. On they way back I rode with who the programming team at T.R. call Ozz (his real name is Bill). Ozz owns a 2004 Mini Cooper S and I have never ridden in one before, so I jumped at the chance. We talked about Motorcycles and how he came accross his Mini, he informed me that he was married but didn’t have any kids. When we got back I talked to Mike Hoover a little bit more and he let me know that there is someone else he is interviewing who has Web Testing experience and that I should here back from him in a week or two. This is also when I found out that the Chris, the woman who I will taking the place of and will be training me, went with us as well. It was then that I started kicking myself in the ass, because the only two words I exchanged with her the whole time was “Hi, my name is Cory. Nice to meet you”. Oh well you live and you learn. I guess we will see what happens.

Looks like someone from GlockTalk.com found my 2002 Glock Armorers Manual that I scanned in last January. I had been searching forever for an updated glock armorer’s manual and broke down and finally bought one off of ebay. I have been getting a decent amount of referrals to my pdf file. Keep them coming! Maybe I can kill the demand for the bastards on ebay that are trying to sell this file for a profit. If you came here looking for the file then check out my Downloads Section
