I ordered black. Don't want to look like some old boomer.....

Yeah black for me.... the no break in is nice and in the car the bottom vent cools your feet through the shoes

I hope they work out. My feet prefer wide.

I haven't wore white since I was 30
Girls didn't dig white and black work well for everything

Walmart has grey quarter crew socks in store under their brand AND1. I guarantee these will feel better in the summer than the longer crew socks and being grey no one will question it.

I agree lol. White gets dirty too quickly. I’m more of a color guy myself. Black is lame in most cases.

The town is digging up the yard across the street, and I'm fighting the urge to wander over and see what's up. At least I now know why the various utilities were marked/flagged last week.

I’m at work. Already tired of doing state inspections lol. It is what it is though. I’ll be asking to sit down with my boss soon because I need a raise like I was promised when I got the license.

$22 currently. Highest paid tech in our shop is paid $32 an hour this is his last week though. The 81 year old master tech makes $29 per hour so he will be the highest paid once the one making $32 leaves.

81 years old and still turning wrenches ?

I hope he’s not Flat Rate cause he might not be as fast as he was 40 years ago….

He says often he doesn’t believe in retirement and has not a penny saved up. He also says one day we will walk in the shop and find him dead because he practically lives there. He’s worked at my dealership since 1985. And yes he is flat rate and gets a bonus for the techs he trained over the years too if they still work there.

My elder brother is a union refrigeration tech. Makes $49 an hour and loves his OT. He had to show his check and brag.

Soon with OT to be "tax free." Sort of. With undoubtedly way too many rules, exceptions and however's.

Wow that’s insane. I get usually just over $2,000 before all my insurance and other benefits and retirement come out. Time all that clears it’s $1400-$1500.
