      Forty three years in the same profession is an outstanding achievement given this age of nomadic job seekers. I’ll bet that turns some heads when you mention it ,as it should !!! Keep it going.
      So here is a funny story...a few years ago at a tri state GM awards banquet the new to the area Chevrolet Zone Mgr introduces me for an award and says to the crowd
      that I have sold and delivered over 4,000 Corvettes...and he states, man I wish you would deliver some other Chevrolets...I said on microphone...well I've delivered 8,000 others beside the 4,000+ Corvettes in my 40 years selling for GM...and I just walked away from the stage. His mouth dropped as he did not know and he looked a little silly. Everyone was laughing.

        My guess is before March 2021...just a matter of time as I have plenty of sold orders.

          Not very smart. Anyone in management knows that a lawyer never ask a question he doesn't already have the answer to.

          I like your style in the way you answered

            There were a couple of hundred folks in the crowd and it seemed the only one that didn't know me was the new Chevrolet zone mgr. I heard another GM guy tell him as I walked away that I wasn't kidding. I still chuckle at it.

              Feels good to get the last laugh on uninformed management, especially if it's all in good fun.

              As one who spent 45 years at his business, I also congratulate you for your professionalism and success in one field!!
