An Apology Regarding the Website—From the Internet Manager

Published Tuesday, 26 October, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Website.

Hello friends.  Today's blog is not a cheery one for me to write, but it must be done nonetheless.  As you may or may not know depending on the ferocity with which you view our staff page and absorb the information thereon, I am the Internet Manager at the Handy Family of Dealerships, or more poignantly HandyCars.com.  I got this job for two reasons:  (1) I'm brilliant beyond all ability to fathom, and (2) because I'm simply great.  Okay, that's not it-I just thought before I depressed myself I'd inject some humor, lame though…

Bday Bliss

Published Saturday, 16 October, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Employee News.

This past Saturday was my 26th birthday, and a great one at that.  I got tons of birthday wishes, something I don't generally like too much (I always operated under the notion that birthdays are kind of lame and that if anyone deserves credit on October 9 for anything relating to my birth it's my mother; heck, I didn't do anything), but perhaps another year wiser has lessened my quarrel with the annual milestone.  Unlike some I know, I didn't marvel at my yearly greatness; on the contrary, it was just nice to humbly accept the…
