My PERSONAL extension rings: I answer, "914 world headquarters!" The voice on the other end of the line asks "do you know anything about 914s?" I answer: "What is a 914?" He says: "you know a Porsch'!" I say what's a Porsch'? He says I wish you wouldn't be so arrogant! I say "I was just TEASING YOU! We have fun here everyday!!!!! Let's now start all over again!!!!
Bottom line: I HATE people without a sense of humor!!!!!! (Is it the way I speak??) "Why can't we just all have fun here?" |

People are idjuts, deal with enough and it becomes overwhelming, then you run across a few good ones and it restores your faith. Incredible how many people don't have a good time at work. I could not go if I did not like it

When I contact a business, I expect to be met with a level of professionalism. If you can't present your business as someone that is worthy of performing a service for me in exchange for my money and do it in a professional manner, I'm off to the next business that will.
If you want to joke and have fun, do it with your friends or with associates/customers that you have built a rapport with. Treat me like that right out of the gate when I'm contacting a business for the first time and you've just turned away a chance at getting any of my money. |

I agree w/ you but George answered the phone "914 World Headquarters". Seriously, don't you think the guy should have been listening? Also there's Georges' point of view... he answers "914 world headquarters" & the guy asks if he "knows anything about 914s"? George is either going to think the guy is an idiot or he's joking... I know I would. My $.02. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

Treat me like that right out of the gate when I'm contacting a business for the first time and you've just turned away a chance at getting any of my money. I sincerely appreciate your input, and wholeheartedly agree with you. And that is one of the primary reasons our business has not made the money it should......we constantly function on the hobby level instead of the professional business level we should. A greatest problem is caused when the president of the company is the biggest Porsche enthusiast and hobbiest! That sets the stage for a less than professional organization. We are however when it comes right down to it, in the entertainment business though (certainly not like selling Ford taurus parts!!) AND we have great fun here every every day. Our customers are ALWAYS first because we love them for taking on the restoration and preservation of these fabulous 914s! Congrats to everyone, and if we can be of service do not hesitate to call! (and I really DO know something about a 914!) |

I have lived long enough to know that life is here to fuch you over if you give it a
chance. You can't take it to seriously or it will eat you alive. You may be successful, you may make alot of money, but life will pass you by and leave you used up. If you don't have some fun while your here you will miss your chance all together. Now I am not saying run around and act like a fool all the time but I am saying please don't let it rush by with out tasteing the free things too. My .02 |

The point is why some people get a bad rap when they do not deserve it. AND some amusement for the crowd here. (for those who have a sense of humor!!) |

If they can't take a joke, let your competition have them as a customer, chances are, you will be happier.
Money isn't everything, if it were we would all have taildraggers and pay other guys to fix them while we stood around acting snotty and sipping wine and our wives were banging every guy in sight... |

call me on my personal line and you had better be prepared to listen to my jokes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If you have reached my personal phone ##, you either arrived there b/c you know me (and I _gave_ you the ##) or are a total stranger who dialed me by accident, in which case, lighten up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
