i laughed when i saw the stock/debt offering announced - i thought there was no way anyone would buy into that under today's environment, yet management pulled it off. i'd say there's a good argument that management earned every penny of their compensation.

you must be management

I found a job detailing cars at the BMW dealership and wondering if I should go buy some rubber boots, or just hang tight

Not to be one to quote myself, but rubber boots it is. Oops, guess I should have not got out of the Air Force.

As a VSP'er and former SEFE myself, I'm with ya, brother. But a year and a half ago, who'd have known? Oh well, got an extra set of rubber boots?

HaHa. I told my wife having to choose between washing cars and seeing my family every night, or being a part of a pi$$ poor ran TACC airlift operation; I would pick the rubber boots regardless of the money. I have never seen such an inefficiently ran, wasteful operation. I guess it is good no one has to be accountable in that system because they'd have to fire everyone.
