Just found out I have a "Tool Account" at work!

From what I understand, the way it works is you tell them what you want to buy and from where. They order and pay for it and deduct a certain percentage from your paycheck every week. My co-workers say people have bought laptops and such for their wives as Christmas presents this way and that I shoud be "good" to order things that dont necessarily pertain to work. Like say a steamer.....or the new Flex.....or the new Festool Shinex that has just become available in the US.

Anyone else have this at work?

I think AG should sell roses lol! A single rose with a package of pads and compounds would fix ALL of our problems. Maybe even specialized poems and cards! And thanx 93 for changing your profile pic bro..... the minion made it hard to take you seriously bro lol. Nice to put a real face to a name :dblthumb2:

Hey we should ask for roses and dedicated poems in BOGO! Haha that would fix all the problems! But hey man i love the minions! I seriously spent $18 on those claw machines trying to get one out on the movie premier. I wish i had minions to help me prep the cars for when i need to paint!
 
Hmmm, years ago Snap-On tools had this kinda thing. They (Snap-On) would work with the shop and the employee. It worked well, the truck would come by (often), you needed an odd goose tool (for whatever reason), you grabbed it and off you went back to work.

The draback was, you could get carried away VERY easily...LOL.

Mrs Pilot is getting wiser to AG every day. You would find that rose, with extra thorns, implanted somewhere that I wont mention. And the pads? Lets just that Blue Cross is not going to cover the removal costs. But I agree, we have to find a scheme to keep the other halves happy. Detail Fest was bad enough but I sprung my SEMA plans on her last night. Does anyone have a spare couch I can sleep on?

Back on topic...a tool account is awesome and I envy the OP. I would use it often and unwisely.
 
I think I'm glad I don't have a tool account...I wouldn't have a pay check left after I bought everything I wanted! lol

Porsche - I'd love to try to get out to SEMA...but my bros wedding is Nov 12th. And SEMA this year is Nov 1-4th. I can't take that much time off of work.
 
Hell, I would skip my own wedding for SEMA. It's just a brother...come on out! Can I at least call you for bail money? Porsche Pilot and Vegas may not have a good ending.

LOL I think my bro would pretty upset if his best man didn't show up!

Yeah Vegas and most people don't have a good ending! Yeah you can contact me for bail money since Mrs. Porsche might be filing for divorce after Vegas!

"Tool Accounts", via payroll deduction, have been around forever. The Gold Rush prospectors and coal miners come to mind. [I've even had/used 'em---perhaps that's why I'll never get to really retire!!] HA HA HA

As Tennessee Ernie Ford once melancholicly refrained: "I Owe My Soul to the Company Store"

Enjoy shopping!! :laughing::laughing:
 
Porshe you can come crash here in NC. We have a spare room and a queen size bed....that you would have to share with Chewie the Wonder Cat and his sisters.:dblthumb2:
 
Am I the only one who giggles everytime they hear the word TOOL :help:
