Uh... ???

The term "Mile High Club" refers to two people engaging in sexual activity (sexual intercourse) at an altitude of no less than 5,280 ft (a mile high above the earth) in an airplane.

Now, most veteran pilots will tell you that you need to be at the controls of an airplane in order to claim membership in this exclusive club. But over the years, the term Mile High Club has included those who make their mark in the lavatories aboard jetliners across the globe.

To spare the embarrassment for those who aren't quite daring enough to make their way back to the lav on a red-eye or transatlantic flight, mile high operations have been cropping up all over the country, offering couples the chance to climb aboard a custom-outfitted aircraft for their aerial pleasures.

Yeah, um... I know what it is, I guess I just didn't understand how it related to the discussion here. To answer the question then... that would be a no... I do not.

I would place money on the fact that catfang does...

Weird. Gotta fire a guy next Tuesday now.

Another one failed their drug test after getting hurt. But this is a good employee, which makes it suckier.

If you're gonna smoke, don't work at a place that drug tests you at the beginning. Go be a software engineer or something.

I'm a restaurateur in Cincinnati so I have been there, done that.

Just 3 weeks ago I caught a line-cook smoking pot behind the dumpster and fired him on the spot. Then one of my other workers(floater) walked out on me, because I fired his friend.

I had to work the line for a couple weeks until I had his replacement trained, no big deal though.

Why do you think his brownies were such a huge sucess?

They were like Lays potato chips. "No one could eat just one"! :D

I'm looking at starting a business here in Charlotte in the next 4 months. I know I can't be there as often as I should due to my being an a wheelchair and health issues. It has been my experience in the past of finding an employee that I can trust around money and keys to the building. (I will never-ever do the Partner thing again. Partners are worse than a regular employee! You just can't fire a partner!)

Also, I might add. I'm a Bastard to work for. My Parents instilled upon me a high work ethic and I demand that my employess have it as well. (When you're at work you work, not goof off.) Doesn't mean you can't have fun, but you can't be talking on the phone to your friends. Typing on Facebook, or twitting (tweeting I guess). If things are slow, I expect you to sell or think up ways to promote the business!

Maybe there's someone in my club that can help me there. (I'm thinking out loud now.)

What type of business.

If it's anything who caters to ages under 50-60 year olds, good luck with getting someone not addicted to that stuff.

My company actually requires (won't say it) that you have a Facebook/Twitter account. Since it shows you are social media savvy, and not someone lost in the dark ages.

Their theory is that social media and internet is where the money is. And since I'm living in the one market not devastated by the recession, I'm gonna agree with that theory.

Now if you're opening up an old timey hardware store, I got an old uncle that can tell awesome war stories and has no idea what a twitter is.

But posting on the hudle is ok, right? ;)

I'm at home, and haven't started the business yet. :D

I'm on Facebook, and don't have a problem with someone there. It when they rather sit there text rather than wait on customers or doing something actual work. I see people text while they are driving!

Put down the iphone and drive people!

I know the kind of business it will be. It lends itself to people coming in and BS'ing. I'd even install a soda machine for that reason. (A beer machine if I could get away with it! Then I'd really turn a profit!)

I realy need someone who knows about Gold Prospecting. That's why I will probably put feelers out the club I belong to.

It was a long time ago that I worked for a restaurant, but the hardest part was dealing with the public. Most people were nice, but its the bad ones that stick in your memory.

Restaurants don't have a monopoly on bad customers. The fuggers are eveywhere but I know what you mean. I worked as a busboy while going through high school.

Beef #1 - waitresses were supposed to give the busboys 10 % of their tips. Like that ever happend....fuggin skanks. Mgt as well. They did nothing about it.

Oberservation #1 - the family with the oldest car and most kids seemed to leave the biggest tip.
