That just sucks that a Co as large as they are don't respect the Holiday. I could have gone in for double time and a half but sometimes you need your sanity! I pulled the whole weekend so **** it, I need the time off.

I worked Thanksgiving 3 years in a row at my current place of employment.
Double pay with not a whole lot of calls or customers can be a nice deal, especially when Christmas is right around the corner

Drink one for me John. Actually nevermind, I'll drink one in an hour or so

Yeah now and then I like to pull a Holiday. But sometimes, with working both days on the weekend like I just did and 6 days straight.............sometimes the extra cash just isn't worth your mental well being.

Ask the guys, I was wrapped tighter than a rubber band Sat night........needless to say they all took off and left me home alone which was perfect I had my peace, quiet just me the dog and the cats and a comfy bed

Bet if you had Prog Ins and wrecked your car today and someone handled your claim you'd be happy, our customers come first!

And I don't have Progressive. I wouldn't expect any Co to be open today to file a claim, a wrecked car having to wait a day isn't the end of the world.

Progressive game me a crazy quote of $1200 for 6 months. I currently pay $677 with Metlife with 50/100K coverage.

That was back in March 2002 at a club BBQ. My car looks the same when my stock wheels are on but at this time the Welds are on it. My stockers will be back on shortly, and the car will look like it does in the banner.

Dana and Danny's cars have the stripes on the hoods now. I think my car was still stock there, only lowered. Damn that was a long time ago.
