Got sick of the drug dealers doing their poo poo behind the house- decided to go after them. Long story short- the (last) vehicle that I caught up to - and chased - was an off-duty cop who lives nearby and was also going after them. He didn't appreciate being stopped. Neither did the cops that I called on 911 about these fuckers- because the dealers were long gone by the time they arrived. Adiabatic posted:Welp, my uncle was just murdered. In jail. Welp.. you win. Sorry to hear that, man. Never lose your custom title.

Had two more cops show up making sure everything was good because neighbor is a former local officer. Assuming he was let go due to a beatdown or similar that couldn't be expunged since I couldn't get this much traffic when I was physically threatened in the past. Guess I'll buy his family a $3 pumpkin pie as an apology for our misunderstanding (and hopefully a minor bit of favor since we both called off the bulls). I'd rather not get my head bashed in, after all.

Sorry to hear man. My sisters step-daughter was murdered 2 1/2 years ago at 15 years old. Last month they finally were able to make the arrest with pretty much a perfectly tight case. There were two arrests made, it was a bit of a happy-sad day to finally come.

He was also left alone to detox, as a 42-year case-a-day alcoholic. He was a nice guy though. The jail isn't talking and wouldn't let us see him, and only told us he was dead after we saw he'd been "released" two days prior. Also, a neighbor and I almost beat the living gently caress out of each other until we discovered we were on the same side- or so the story goes (with what we both told the cops). Happy pre-veterans' day! E: hours later- the wipers on Cheby were magically activated somehow despite it not being touched in about 12 hours. IT MUST BE POULTRYGEISTS!

so she made up some poo poo about him assaulting her so she could get him arrested and later commit him. She later confessed all this.

If it's a cheesy movie then it was the aunt who convinced your uncle's arresting officer to get an inmate to do it in exchange for a cut of the bricks of cocaine/gold/diamonds hidden under the floor of your grandmother's house.

Fuckin hell  I thought November was working out (sort of) better for AI... Time to get lawyered up, if you haven't already. Or call the ACLU, that'll turn up the heat.

That's a lovely thing to wake up to. Sorry, Adiabatic, that's got to be a phenomenally lovely thing to experience. I'd say your family should lawyer up hard and fast. Going straight to the press may be an option, depending on the family's views of how to proceed.

Okay, so I was going to come in all happy that I just watched Interstellar at the Arizona Mills IMAX, installed the flashy amber lights in the Beetle, and just rebuilt (again) the 4-carb-rack on my fiancee's CB650, but turns out a family member was jail-shanked, and now I'm all sad and confused. gently caress 2014.

Hey I appreciate the sentiments, everybody. Y'all are a pretty great bunch. My cousin is next of kin and already has a lawyer in discovery. My parents are down there helping him through all of it both mentally and financially, and my paw is as rich as CSB's dick is large so they'll hopefully get to the bottom of it.

Just found out that we're gonna have a six sigma review of our loving desks in the coming days. We're the goddamn engineering office not assembly, completely pointless. I'm gonna ask for shadow foam for my desk drawers and label all the dust the cleaners leave behind.

Six Sigma is always weird because it's like trying to put low-rolling-resistance tires on a car whose transmission is loving shot. It is always, always a middle management problem, and it is always from a lack of confidence from the upper management in the middle management, but somehow it gets spun into an excuse to do a favour for a golf buddy.

Sorry to hear about your uncle, Adiabatic Yesterday my most productive employee told me (out of professional courtesy) that she's been headhunted for a management position from another company and will be interviewing with them for what would be a substantial raise if she gets it. Then today my favorite employee (who is also very productive and super versatile) handed in her two weeks notice. We're already super underwater as it is. Losing both of these is going to gently caress us in the rear end, no lube. Even if we bring in new people (which is a crapshoot), it takes literally at least a year for most new hires to be up to speed and actually productive. Maybe I should start looking elsewhere too...

It's odd, our continuous improvement manager has bought into it and has actually worked some wonders in assembly and repair & overhaul. Unfortunately we're now at the point of chasing diminishing returns so we're stuck with dumb poo poo like this.

Six Sigma/Process Control is perfectly suited for assembly line/machine shop production but it falls on its face when it is applied to things where you don't just run through a process that is the same every time to complete a task.

If you have a mind numbing job of changing oil and an occasional $25 windshield wiper "upgrade", wouldn't you rather be busy with the mundane tasks at hand than sitting with your thumb up your rear end? Just got secondary report filed for my vehicle tampering which occurred last night. Looks like other than a very small crease that will be left, I'm pretty sure I can get it covered OK, then flip the bitch.

We are proud to offer a free Jiffy Lube Signature Found that on a flier here, valid for locations in MA, NH, RI, and ME. Not sure where you're located but other states could be doing the same thing. Since most vets are homeless and/or live out of their cars (thanks, Obama), a free oil change is right up their alley which could explain the surge at those locations.

As someone who worked a similar job: gently caress NO. Especially since I bet the lube techs are paid hourly (I was at Sears), so you take home the same lovely paycheck whether it's slow or jam-packed. And don't even get me started on Black Friday.

In other news, some dingbat made unannounced changes to the Exchange/AD backend and completely nuked the ability to use a network printer or scanner and email processing is taking upwards of 15 minutes. I just crimped my own personal cable to use the printer a mere 20 feet away and I'm on mobile wifi/VPN so that I can keep working. Also IT'S loving CONTRACTOR BILLING WEEK WHOHOOO  Gonna go home and change my oil today and the ECU coolant temp sensor and hopefully get rid of this cold stumbling issue the Miata is having.
