I don't even know where to start on this one... I'll just skip all the obvious questions and go to a comment: I have a buddy in Iraq doing contract work for the military. Tall and skinny, named Bates. Know him?
 
does he know me?

and there is no army left in iraq,,so no army contractors,,only private security companies,ammbasy personal,,oil companies,construction companies
 
Aybars, you are one of the most interesting people I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with (not in person, of course)

I messed up, he's w/ a private security company, not the military. My bad. I'm sure there are many over there and it's very unlikely that you know eachother, but you never know.

Also, I would love to hear "the whole story". Please.

As long as you can keep your hands off the HS girls it sounds like a decent gig.

Well hell, if you CAN'T keep you hands off HS girls it probably an even better gig, as long as you don't care about staying married.

Honestly, to me, high school kids look like, well, children. Lucky for me, I'm not attracted to children.

Sears, right?

Yeah that place is a joke. They got fed up with me cause management got mad that I tried to give people too many good deals. There was so much red tape around the place, it became it really depressing to watch my customers walk out the door, especially when I worked on 100% commission. They cut everyone's commission in half last year and tried to make you sell a 550 dollar warranty on a damn fridge. I really do miss selling, got to talk to some of the nicest people and strangers. I hope that place fails bad. There's a saying in my store, "good things happen when you leave Sears" and its pretty much true for everyone. You'll be surprised how many people have college degrees working for managers who could barely graduate high school. XD

That doesn't sound shady.......not at all. And how come your father - Vicente Fox - made you start out washing dishes? Has he no shame?

I figured as much because I've been watching that train wreck for a few years from a stock investor's perspective and it's just been one bad move after another. They are constantly looking for credit and trying to raise money by divesting pieces of their business. All the brands they acquire go stagnant on the revenue front like the day Sears Holding buys them. High level personnel changes seem to be a frequent thing. It's just a mess. It looks eerily similar to the downfall of Circuit City from a credit perspective, except that Sears used to be the place to go way back when and people don't want to let it die as easily as a company like Circuit City and are willing to work out better high finance deals because of the name and the brands they have in their possession and the positive relationships built up over the 100+ years.

It does look like it's entering dinosaur graveyard territory very soon though, so it's interesting reading your inside employee perspective. Sometimes companies are just a mess at the corporate level and fail because of that, but it seems like Sears Holding has problems everywhere. And anybody that's been in a Sears or a K-Mart(especially K-Mart) lately probably can sense a forboding doom approaching. Who said Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, and other Big Boxes were only mom and pop killers? Knaves, I tell ya, knaves! They kill some lesser giants along the way too.

I teach Biology at Dixie State College!

Theblackswordsman and dalamon have either of you taken organic chemistry yet??
 
Yes I have, as a sophomore, however it was Organic Chemistry for bio majors which wasn't horrible.

Also at ASU they have Calculus for Bio majors which was a joke, I took Calc 1 and 2 in highschool so it was a nice class to say the least :).

Not sure how different to the organic chemistry I took , but they were the two hardest classes I have ever taken! I have never studied my butt of more to earn a B+.
