slug 1 #51 January 16, 2004 QuoteQuote... Boss asks What you doing this weekend? Bible study, Work out, Choir practice, volunteer work, take care of sick parents etc. Boss thinks your a real responsiable person. Not volunteering that you skydive is one thing, tell a lie to the boss is another. No disrespect but but what do you think your company/boss does to you. Want to invest your 401k in Enron, have your job exported to India. Don't want to lie? how about proper use pf the english language. Sorry I have a appointment, or other plans. I hear what your saying, just knod head. Start looking for another job. Could be a power and control issue. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rogue108 0 #55 January 17, 2004 I am in the category that goes with the less they know about your private life the better. I was hooked on skydiving before I jumped, It was something I decided I want to do. and I happened to like it. However, I never really talked about it much. Eventually, something will leak hear and there, but I just down play it. I look at skydiving as something I do in my life (even though it takes up a large portion of it), and not my entire life. My job is also a portion of my life and it allows me to skydive. So I when I work...I work and when I play...I play. Its all give and take.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #58 January 25, 2004 UPDATE: Got to my National Sales Meeting in Vegas this week and got the dreaded "talk" from my Regional Director which was a little harsh, but deserved. Good news is that my bonus check will not be docked AND once he saw my name ranked at #12 in the country based on marketshare growth since September 03 (when I started, my territory was #89 ranked!), he changed his tune and said he believed in me. Kuhl! YAY! Whew..glad it's over! _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindee 0 #73 January 25, 2004 QuoteHaha! I've come in wearing my rig... I work for an insurance company. Turned a few heads. I also work for an insurance company. I became interested in skydiving by doing a Risk video for the company. They paid for the 1st tandem and video. My boss thought it was really cool and always mentioned it to clients coming in, until I was injured and missed 2 months of work. I'm back at work, but still have 6 months to wait for a complete recovery. Now she keeps saying to me "You're not going to do that again once you are recovered, right?" It's definitely something I'll keep quiet about at work when I get back in the air.__________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

RainbowSmurf 0 #74 January 25, 2004 My boss turned up at the DZ one day. Not sure if she'd come to make sure I was still in one piece or to demonstrate to her husband what strange people she has to work with! I am my inner child. It's my outer adult I have trouble connecting with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
