I spend about 0% of my day utilizing Facebook right now so actively participating in ANY group on Facebook is unlikely. I will be working with a few of those guys and everyone I met at the office was really nice and professional. It seems like a great environment to work in and i'm pretty excited!

Are you going to be at the Appleton office then?

When you need a supply chain planner/buyer, give me a shout.

I will be at the Appleton office about once a week or so! We'll be in touch. Get your resume smudged up.

I actually just went through the process of getting mine up to date and polished.

But their facilities are about 2 mins from my parents place and I live just two exits over from there. Drive past quite frequently. Definitely would like to work in an industry I’m passionate about.

So I had to take a trip into Idaho for work and drove the 128 there. I was about to head back home and was scrolling around the map on my phone, and this caught my eye.
In my experience google likes to route through some random shit from time to time, so why did it not make this my primary route?! Turns out to be the windiest road in Idaho.

Turns out to be excellent condition pavement, massive drop-offs on the downhill side, and a ton of fun. Made a couple laps of it!
I haven't pushed that car too hard before, and I didn't really want to find the limit of it with the consequences that were present, but man that thing really maintains traction.

That looks so nice.

Longboarding that would be a riot too

Anyone have the glass for the driver side mirror? Mine fell out on the highway this morning driving to work. It was all in slow motion. I saw it start to pull off and couldn't grab it in time. lol

I ordered my first nice cooler a few weeks ago, an Rtic 65. I was very excited about this purchase and the maiden voyage would be IMSA! Well, FedEx delivered the cooler Thursday at 12:35. I came home about 7pm to find that there was no cooler even though FedEx tracking said it was delivered. I reviewed my cameras to find that nobody had entered the driveway all day... I called FedEx and they told me the cooler was delivered at 12:35 and verified my address. I said great, it wasn't delivered to my house and I have video proof. She said oh, we'll start an investigation and you'll be contacted between 8am and 3pm the next day (today). By 2:45 I hadn't gotten a call so I called them. They said it was physically delivered to someone at the house. I told them again, this is impossible because nobody was home AND I HAVE IT ON CAMERA THAT THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. She said Oh, we'll see if we can get a description of the house and person from the courier. I asked if I need to call back of of they'll call me. She assured me I would get a call once it's figured out. I reached out to Rtic right away and they filed a claim with FedEx but they have to give FedEx 5 days to investigate and IF they say they lost it I get a new one shipped out on 7/29.

My mind is blown in many ways at this point. One, that someone was handed a large fucking cooler and didn't even question it. Two, they never bothered to return it. Three, FedEx can't fucking figure out where they left a $300 cooler and continues to tell me "it's been delivered". At this point I have about zero hope that FedEx will find it and/or do the right thing and get me another.

Four, the package actually never made it on the final truck but was still listed as “delivered” ... and it shows up a few days later. In my case it was UPS and came the next day though.

Hope you get it figured out!

My wife ordered a rather large end table from Wayfair and it was nowhere to be found after tracking said delivered. I mean, this box was very heavy and I needed our trailer to move it from our house to our apartment. She called wayfair and they didn’t even question her and sent a new one right away.

My point being that’s pretty poor customer service to give you the run around instead of just sending you a new one.
