Old School Stories From the Trenches

old school gp 62! What up to so many people and so many good times!! How about Matty Davis, Curtis, Bosch Tyson,Clarky, Banker, Dealer, Tommy Gun, and whole bunch more people that made life & work a blast!

Few places can you have so much fun while your at work!

Schuster, what up????

Looks like my era of people... I remember working with Matty D... Murph here checking in from... what the hell was my branch number anyway? Uftrings in Washington.

Hi all

My era too. Washington was 53

Murphy!?!?!?!? Hey, Rob Mach here. Honestly, I'm not sure why I even come to this site from time-to-time; I guess I enjoy picking at scabs. So what are you doing these days? Are you still in P-town working on a patent for the surround shower? Life is much better now not working in car dealerships in zero degree weather...

Rob Mach, How the hell are you? I just read in the paper today that Steve Johnson is getting married. I think you two worked together at 54.

Hello people!
i had my second interview with a recruiting manager yesterday and i gotta say its the most gruesome interview ive ever had...my 3rd interview is on monday! can u gimme some feedback? about employees and the job? i used to work at a really small rental car agency before

if you want to work 12 days and weekends go for it, the people are good but the jobs sucks.

So Steve is getting married? The last I knew he was working at one of the telemarketing companies in Peoria. Did it say where he was working these days? He worked in Galesburg and briefly Peoria, whereas I was stuck in East Peoria and Morton.

Do you have any idea what became of Brandy Beaty? I thought she was getting a divorce some years back, but that's about it after I helped her get a job with another company. Any other sightings? Keith Stevenson or Marc Brady...how about my former fearless leader Randy Kenner?

Tell me what you are doing these days? I'm up in the Chicago area for a few years, working for a medical device company for about the last year.

It wasn't telemarketing -- more of a call center. When you call the 800 number for many products for support it goes to one of these places. I haven't really talked to him in ages other than crossing paths at a hockey game or something.

Brandly Beaty... No, lost track of her right after she started at the phone company. She was a trip. I'd love to catch up with her sometime. I googled her a time or two but she's not out there.

Keith and I kept in touch for a while after I left, then I think he moved or something. He was a good guy. SHould never have been at E. We were in that first training class together.

These days I'm in Project Management. I really like what I'm doing -- this company does odd things like promote and gives raises and things. Didn't see much of that at E.

Again, you frickin' dorks worked at Enterprise 7 years ago and you're still on this site?

I'll be willing to make a bet with you and see if you fit the profile. I bet you meet at least 3 of the following criteria:

1) you lived with your parents for a while after graduating from a small midwestern college (certainly not a university)

2) you have a long-term girlfriend but she's not sure she wants to marry you because you may not be the "marrying type", either because she's afraid you can't support her when she wants kids OR because you still call your mom "mommy"

3) ERAC was just one stop on a still unremarkable career path that has stalled at a cubicle and a headset (maybe bluetooth if you've been lucky).

4) you've tried at least twice to get a pharma sales job using your ERAC resume, but you've been turned down due to lack of ability to sell even yourself to people.

5) you wear your cell phone or your keys (possible both) on a li'l belt holster



Don't lie - be honest with yourself. And then go re-evaluate what the heck you are doing on this site 8 years after leaving ERAC.
