So I started in this office in September of 2000, straight out of high school. I used to work part time, then one employee left, leaving me the option of working full time, and taking his job. So I did. Now my boss has an opportunity to move to a better position, and he's been talking about me taking his job. That would give me about a $15,000/year raise, and make me the boss of 5 other people, all older than me. I've got my fingers crossed! And since I may or may not be getting a promotion,



...wife and I went and test-drove the Honda Element. SUV, with 4wd, CD, waterproof seats and floor, plenty of cargo room, room to lay down, all for just over $20,000? Sounds like a good deal to me! Sure, it looks funky, but we liked it.

Good luck with the promotion!

The Element. . reminds me of Picachoo. But it's cool to drive a cartoon car! So go for it!

thanks!

the element, like the aztec, is a car that you can't appreciate until you've been inside one, though the element is way better than the aztec...tons of room. I'm 6'3", and I can fit VERY comfortably in the back seat. That means a lot to me!
