Thanks for all the posts at least I have something to shoot for
I am a Service Advisor for a new car dealer

6 days a week 12 hours a day is killing me

if I dont do something im going to flame out soon

And you think tinting windows is going to be better? :lol

By the way BAD,

What manufacturer/dealer do you work for?

Well Bad, I hate to burst your bubble, but if you think tinting windows is going to get you away from 6 days a week 10 hrs a day, you got another thing coming! Owning a business is one of the most demanding things you can ever do. Your time is NEVER your own, its your wallets, it has an insatiable appatite, and everytime a job shows up, you find yourself kicking your butt to get it done, no matter when or how or what. My life after owning a tintshop for almost 10 years is 14 hr days++ 5 or 6 or even 7 day weeks, nonstop, no breaks, barely have time for bathroom breaks, and forget about eating. When you finally are done, your constantly thinking about work anyway.

Damn TB! I thought I was the only one to have your hours. Oh $hit...I'm on the boards right now....ummm.....I'm doing paperwork and getting 30 bids out today by 2:00pm. That's it...bids! :mrgreen:

Learned a long time ago that work ended at 5:00. No new business after 3:30 unless it absolutly, possitively, has to be done that day and they had better be convincing. When I walk out of here every week day (no saturdays) I have a whole other life to worry about, 4 kids, wife, house, cars, etc.......
