You know you're an ERAC employee when:

[12345678]

This seems to be a common thread on the USA board, wondered if you U8 employees had any thoughts?!?!

My personal ones:

1. You give your partner evils because they didnt answer the home phone within two rings

2. You avoid telling people you went to uni because its just embarrasing

3. You cant enjoy your one day off on a sunday because you know your in for shit on monday morning

4. You have no friends because they think your bullshitting them when you cancel your arrangements, even though nothing was planned till 8pm

5. Your only social interaction throughout the week is ring up branches and asking people if they have any cars

6. Your biggest annual bonus is finding 50p whilst cleaning a car

Any others........?

Not a U8er but

- You race home from work because you're used to driving so fast during the day.

- You see an accident and your first thought is "non fault?"

- You flinch when you home phone rings then race to it

[freeatlast]

You answer your home phone, "Thank you calling Enterprise this is _______, how can I help you?"

I was once told that doing that was a "good sign" that you were progressing and it meant you were a solid employee.

[One The Way]

Yeah, I've had similar. That one's usually told by the group trainer reminiscing about their days in daily rental and what a good ol' time they had.

The other classic from a group trainer was "I loved cleaning cars. I remember being out there at half five in the winter; it was snowing, freezing cold and we just had a real laugh." Yeeeeeees. Of course....

When you forget what it's like to come home to your partner and describe your day at work with either a smile on your face or a funny anecdote.

When you lose a stone through having no lunch breaks for 2 weeks.

When your wardrobe becomes full of work clothes and nothing else, because you have no time to dress up and go out socially.

When you dread waking up in the morning.

when you talk a big story of earning the mega bucks yet you still rent, live at home with mommy & daddy, live in section 8 living conditions like kewalo street, possess revolving credit that never seems to get paid down, you pack on the classic e-monkey extra weight sporting the double chin and tire around the waistline due to all the cheap fast food and alcohol consumption, and last but not least....you survive in that daily grind of balancing and floating funds until your next pay stub, lmfao!!!!

-When you create multiple personalities in order to hide the shame of renting cars for a living.
- When you look in the mirror and start throwing up because you see the hideousness that has become you by way of slave hours and heavy drinking
- When you start chasing tail at enterprise because you have no time for outside dating...Big Fucking Mistake By The Way!! Try dodging the person the next day...cant be done...you will run into each other and therefore capitalize on your already shitty existence.

-you get excited every other Friday when you realise you have an actual 2 day weekend to do what you want, but then:
a) you sleep most of saturday because you're so knackered from the week you've just put up with.
b) sunday you feel like crap because you know whats coming tomorrow morning.

-your suit smells of a mixture of oil, screenwash and air-freshener. It is also completely ruined

-you cant make plans to do anything during the week, even at 8pm

-you break every law of the road.

and finally:
-every morning you desperately hope that someone rams into the back of you so you can spend the day in hospital rather than at work. also, you can get a non-fault out of it :)

-Your non-payday Fridays usually involve a trip to Cash Land.

-Your begin to see that your credit cards are being declined at retailers.

-You fear becoming unemployed because you missed your second straight happy-hour.
