I'm glad things worked out then. He got what he wanted out of the deal, and you didn't have to contend with some grabby guy.
How are you feeling?

I'm feeling uneasy myself.
The uncle I'm going into business with has made comments to others behind my back that he and I aren't going to be equal business partners after-all. I don't know whether he's just trying to look like a big-shot to people, or if that's really what he intends.
It's fine, if he tries to alter the agreement at this point, I'm just going to tell him I'm not interested and he can find someone else to design all the stuff and do most of the work and accept half the pay.
Not that it's quite that cut-and-dry, it will send ripples of pain through my family if we fall-out, but I'm not the type to stuff my integrity in my back pocket, shy or not.

I'm glad things worked out the way they did too.. If nothing else.. there was at least a pair of glasses on her part for him to have something to grab....:applause: I just had to say that.

You don't need those types of people to be around, if they have got nothing better to do then to back stab you and talk crap.. and any other human being who feels they need to use you for their success is selfish!

He's definitely selfish, he's also arrogant. But until now I thought those were just bad traits of an otherwise good person... now I'm not so sure.

I always thought they were traits of an over confident person.. but I have come to realize that they are not.. Those people are insecure and unsure of themselves and have to rely on others for their self worth.. without them having that they probably would not be able to survive on their own.

Pretty nervous. I'm buying my first car, going to look at some this week. I'm going to have to deal with the salesperson by myself. And even though I mostly know what to look for, I'm scared I'm going to miss something wrong with it. And scared of driving without my mom or instructor with me.
I understand, don't let it get you so nervous that you overlook things you don't like about the car and definitely don't let nervousness push you into signing a contract that you don't need to be in. These same things happened to me once. Good luck.

I'm picturing you stuck in a swamp somewhere trying to mud in a Passat. :bigsmile:

i got the wife's car stuck in a ditch once. It was a nissan altima though.
Same here (except for the wife part, of course, and it was a Sentra), I backed into the ditch in front of my cousin's place one rainy night and he had to drive it out.
Nothing cancels your subscription to I'm A Man, Honest! faster than needing another guy to get your car out of a ditch. :sarcastic:
I had to flag down a guy in a pickup to pull the car out. Couldn't get traction. Plus had to act sober so the good samaritan wouldn't call the cops.
