Weekend update time! So tomorrow, Friday, temp will be hitting high 80's. That's pretty sweet because tomorrow is a half day at work and then our whole firm is headed to the Harbor Islands for the day to do some drinking and playing volleyball and stuff. But mostly drinking. Then I am off to the Cape for the weekend with about 35 friends, rented a little place in Welfleet right on the beach. Come Saturday morning while Branch$$$ is scrambling to find that Minivan or trying to pass off a Jeep Liberty as a full size SUV I will be chilling on the beach, sipping some suds, I like lime in my Corona too, and maybe playing a little whiffle ball. Good times. Now those are what I refer to as good times, not mini golf with the branch and certainly not drinming with the branch IN the branch. Oh well, hey Branch$$$ it's never personal, wait, yes it is, because it's better that way. And until all the e-chimps realize that the job sucks I'll keep on bashing. Some day you too can have a great life, or any life for that matter. Have a great Friday and Saturday and on Saturday, just for you, when I am on the beach I am going to raise my glass and say, "This is for Branch$$$, because he is at work and I'm not!"

Thank you for the update. Whiffle ball is fun in the summer, cracking a few brews, good times. E-chimps have a good time when they get pizza in the branch. What a world of difference that is.

Look I'm just keeping my head down, working hard, and moving onwards and upwards. Remember - history is made everyday. Everything you do is your history. I'll look back and remember that I took no shortcuts, that I earned everything I got.

What will you have? foggy memories of floating around the beach, drunk all the time? You don't think you'll be kicking yourself later when you could have been fully vested and in on the money?

To eahc their own. Some people are happy being given a small fish or 2 every day, some people want to build their own fleet of fishing boats.

I put my pants on one shoe at a time. I build my house one brick at a time. No easy way out. I love my team and feel like a proud parent when one of my MTs gets picked to be the BCAM or gets to be in the Best Persons program. Ok?

What will my memories be? Well, yes they will be of floating around the beach with my friends. They will be of all the vacations I took with my wife and family, vacations to places you read about and see on tv. I actually go there. I am in on the money, I make more than I did at ERAC, in a job that I love, in a place that respects me. Sure, people come here all the time bragging about the 9-5 and the comfy office, and the no ties. I have all that. But the thing I like most is the respect I get from my co-workers, clients, and people I know and meet. Do you think that the body shop down the street respects you? or the service department at the dealership? No, you are one in a long line of people that have come and gone. ANd within two months of you leaving they won't even remember you. As for what you say about feeling like a proud parent, do you feel like a failure when they quit? Or do you say they "couldn't hack it"? I will never look back on my life and say I should have done this or I wish I did that, because I am doing it. If the highlight of your weekend is pool hopping and taking the chick down the street for ice cream then hey, good for you. But when I am standing in front of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming or rafting a river in Denali national Park Alaska I will call those highlights. I've done both of those since leaving ERAC, now that I have a job that gives me 5 weeks vacation and doen't complain when I take it. I build my house one brick at a time too, and at least when my house is built I will have people around to share it with me and I will be around to enjoy it. I hope you have the balls to post back here after you are shown the door or even when things start to go downhill because hey, 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong!

Way to pick up the sarcasm in this guys post you are responding to!
Can you all get a clue, No real ERAC branch employee in the trenches posts on this site during working hours.
These posts are made up and designed to get a rise out of mainly Robert to watch him freak out.
Can someone on this site please get a clue!

Drunk on the beach playing wiffle ball, you sound like a real family man bud.
And oh yeah, those that have it don't brag.
Just ask ROBERT.

Number one: never said drunk

Number two: never said I have kids
I am married and have friends and parents and siblings and in-laws and those are the people I consider family and travel with and go to the beach with and have fun with. Some of my greatest memories are of going to the beach with my parents and aunts, uncles and cousins and guess what, plying wiffle ball and having fun. Why would chilling at the beach not make me a family man? Please, enlighten me...jackass.

Sorry dude, just making light of the 8 references you made to drinking in your original post. Also you said, "vacation with wife and kids"
But whatever, not really important.

I too used to party all the time, drinks everynight, weekend, etc. From the Cape too.
Funny thing is those times were while at ERAC. I was a drunken fool then, in my 20's making decent $$. I have since moved on to more sober days, more money, less hours, less happy hours, wife and kids, so on and so on.
I am on the beach at the Cape just about every weekend too although my don't really involve drinking. Just playing with son, sandcastles, etc.
I am sure that's boring, right?

One thing is for sure. If I had kid's while at ERAC it would have been a nightmare. My marriage barely survived it, that's one main reason why I left and I was LIII.
ERAC can be OK starting out for single dudes looking for a party and some experience but it ends there. I banked some good experience, fun memories, good friends I still have (all left ERAC) but used all that to move on to a real life. I won't brag that I have it all like you but life is pretty good. Make enough money to be happy (only a bit more than when I left ERAC), work 40 hours a week, limited travel, no happy hours unless I decide to go out with friends.

Quick Question, how are you posting on this site right now if you work in Branch? Spending your day off on this site?
Doubt it, this is a made up post to get rise out of people. Probably Robert so he has something to post a response to!!!!!!!!!! Way to go once again Robert!!!

"They will be of all the vacations I took with my wife and family" is the quote from my post. Family, not kids. I am still in my 20's and my days are plenty sober. I am able to sit on the beach and have a beer or 2 or even 3 and just basically chill with friends. ANd I travel with family, and have drinks and fun with family, be it my dad, my sister and her family (husband, daughter) my other nieces and nephews. Right now I answer to myself and my wife and I don't have kids holding me down or back or front or whatever. I also enjoy sandcastles very much and playing volleyball on the beach...or does volleyball count as being irresponsible? I don't have it all, but I hear from people all the time that think they have it all and I like to point out they do not. So, why don't you pay attention and get your facts straight before you speak next time...jackass.
