Hmm....
I'm sure sprint's gonna have a different setup. Verizon makes you download their proprietary software to connect via bluetooth using your phone as a high speed modem "legally". I'm sure there's a way to hack my phone and get free access, as I used to do that with my old phones. But by doing so I didn't have access to the EVDO network, I was just using normal cellular network, thus low speed. Have you checked out howardforums? They usually post up the setting for these kinds of things, like what username to use, etc. Hmm...on top of that I may be of no help w/ a mac

Let me see if I can find anything out...sorry i'm no help right away...

I think I'm gonna take the day off from work tomorrow and relax

Probably head over to my parents early in the morning and give the car a wash, and maybe a quick coat of wax.

He leaves sunday...
so I take the day off tomorrow, he's out starting Monday officially till thursday.

Should be ok

i was going to take the day off tomorrow anyway to take off for the funeral...since it was already accounted for, I'm just gonna take it off anyway.

!Xoible · 08-10-2007, 01:26 AM

man i been trying to take some time off since May. Now i cannot take any hour off until mid october or november.

My productivity is just down the drain right now man. I usually can do an 8-hour task in like 1 or 2 hours, now it's taking me 10 or 12 hours

i wanna take time off and go to beach

hhahah proably cuz you're on here all day!

yeah time off does a body/mind good. My ED was very therapeutic, but damn I wanna go back.

!Xoible · 08-10-2007, 01:32 AM

im on here coz i cannot focus on work anymore man. i need time off. The law of "diminishing returns" is hitting it's max with me right now.

i applied for vacation like 3 times already and was talked out of it every time.

damn, that sucks. Yeah, I didn't take my first vacation at my company for like 5 years. then I took a week off to go on a cruise. Since then I make it a point to go on vacation at least once a year. Productivity suffered massively not having some time off.

!Xoible · 08-10-2007, 01:35 AM

my coworker is going from X5 to FX35.. he's asking me

nah, no navi. hertz wouldn't get navi on their cars since they have their neverlost system they charge you for. my brother has an '05 FX and he loves his car. No navi in his car either though.

The car itself was nice...decent. Felt like a dog compared to the e92, though.

I do have some gripes about that car. The rear seats aren't very roomy...the rear doors are a pain in the butt to get in and out of unless you open the doors practically perpendicular to the car. Rear cargo room isn't much. I've never sat in an X5 so can't compare.

wow, how much vacation time did you accumulate over such a long period? I'm sure you got PAID vacations by then right?

Well I don't hold it against my company...i'm like "super" exempt status...so whether I work or not, i get paid

Plus the bonuses aren't bad since on paper I don't make so much
