I Gotta Lose The Goatee To Drive? :censored::censored::censored:?

[SmithBarney]

Porn Star Mustache = A OKAY
GURU Goatee = Not

Instead of your wife holding her hand over it
hold $100 dollar bill over it.. or several.. tell her the look will
grow on her.

When you bring home your first full time driver paycheck your wife and her new goateed boyfriend will be happy. 20 years. Either you grew a beard in grade school or you are late to the driver party. Good luck. BM

You mean you haven't been following the story of But Benefits Are Great? Take a minute and read his posts and threads but do it soon as he may be signing your paychecks before long. (BBAG, just kidding--relax).

Had a beard up until I hired in. Came back when I retired. Now it's a different color. Weird!!

 

[JustTired]

May I assume it is so we present a "neat, clean appearance"?

Yes....they want you clean shaven to offset the sloppy fitting Chinese uniforms you will be wearing in your mud encrusted, dirt covered package car.

Grew it when I was in my early 20s. Very late to the party.

Just to clarify - it was never a question of do I drive or do I shave - goatee is gone. No big deal, I was just surprised. Of to drive my first day now.

So, if I follow your timeline correctly, next Friday you will take your 5 days of driving experience and apply for an on-car sup position. Upon completing 30 days as an on-car sup, you will replace your retiring center manager. 6 months later, you will replace your retiring DM and then will become Division Manager 6 months after that. You will then parlay your 13 month, 2 week career to land a spot on the Board of Directors.

When you get there, please don't forget us, the little people (the folks that actually run the company). Also, please document your historic rise through the ranks in a book. May I suggest a title?

The Meteoric Rise Of But Benefits Are Great At Big Brown

Hopefully Oprah will add it to her "list".


Sarcasm is an elixir best served sparingly.

Maybe you could change your name to "But the Benefits are Better in Atlanta".

oopps..Double post

I think they should call it, "NO HAIR OR ITS WELFARE"

You wanna be Brown,
Shave it down !

 

[looper804]

If you can prove that your facail hair is for religious reasons then they can not make you shave it off.

Also a letter stating a medical reason works also.

 

[looper804]

Yeah, they don't want you lookin' like Maynard G. Krebs......

Your aging your self with this reply.

 

[cino321]

Trust me goatee's aren't really cool, you might be doing yourself a favor. Look at it as a new beginning.

LOOPER....it's just part of the education process. I figure the references will send folks scrambling to Yahoo or Google to find out who Maynard is. Yes, there was life before Gilligan......and yes. I did watch it.

showing our age here More ....or is it Dobie? BC

If my senile mind is recalling correctly, Dobie Gillis was the name of the TV show and Bob Denver played the beatnik character Maynard G. Krebs.

Give that man a gold star.

Um I would hope so! What time do you guys start!!!

Tell us how your first day of driving went. And all the problems you had with the DIAD board. Saturday Air is THE best way to learn how to drive and use the DIAD board without too much stress. 20 stops in 3 hours. how easy. And are you really going management? Think twice. Did you ever find out how long the wait is to go full-time driving? I think your wife would like you better as a driver. Think of the money you would save in suits! And you sound more "blue-collar" than "white-collar." Just my two cents.
