I am having a BALL
Since being a auto shop managaer/co owner is kinda new to me and i actually love it i had written the op for a new thread. then i managed to close the tab in chrome....
i followed drpains path today tho, and fired a customer. We only have about 10% of our revenue from working on peoples cars, the rest is buses and trucks. (80%, probably more is revenue from the bus company that used to own us, and that we have a standing contract for the buses in this part of the city) however, this guy came in with a 97 golf for a biannual inspection. i pointed out one of my techs, the one who does most inspections and told the dude to just leave the car with him. the guy then managed to straight up tell me and the tech that "he did not want a black guy to touch his car"

i told him to get the gently caress out of the shop, and to never return. one of my other techs sprayed his shoes with a hose as he passed by.

I have to days of now, i only work about 60% these days, and i have my first ever radiation treatment on thursday.

But my doctor told me monday that my prognosis is up to 85% chance of survival, so i probably should not complain.

I haven't had anything crazy happen since I worked at Papa John's.

I spent most of my time at PJ's in management and I did not get to take tons of deliveries while working there. While working there I did deliver to what would be best described as a porn set. The only person there was a woman who was in her mid 50's and had nude pictures of her on a desk and the desk being the only thing in the room that was normalish about the 'office.' I imagine if I was older at the time she might have been somewhat attractive, but getting hit on by someone older than my mother in what could be best describe as an adult workout zone set the bar for odd deliver experiences pretty high after that.

Prices are hosed because airline ticketing software is dumb. Matrix ITA just aggregates stuff. If I was on a specific carrier's website, it'd warrant some skepticism, but I don't think that there's some next level airline price gouging that returns specific results a la Amazon.

I don't doubt that the airlines would want that, but they can barely balance their checkbooks 364 days out of the year.

Alternatively, it's a conspiracy.

I actually had luck once getting them whitelisted again - said I needed SHSC for coding tips and troubleshooting, and bunched them with a few others they'd also blocked, which made no sense. IT troll ate it hook, line and sinker.

I do this on Linux all the time, you should be able to use the Linux instructions for OS X and there are separate instructions for Windows. Works great, if you're on a *nix I use this:

ssh -D 1080 -Nf example.com

You'll need an external system running ssh that you can bounce through. A Raspberry Pi at home will work, or just the cheapest VPS you can buy.

My friend works at Jaguar Land Rover here in the middle of England ordering various nerdy engineers with terrible hygiene around. She met a guy there and they've hit it off fantastically, and he's really cool too. He loves cars, owns a real nice S2k and earlier sent me a bunch of 'clues' as to what he's got to play with this evening and asked if I wanted to go for a drive in it.

Clues were:

not JLR
approximately 400bhp
I asked where the manufacturer was from and it was the US
I asked whether it was a new model, it was
I asked whether it was electric, it was
Tesla S

So he's picking me up in a wee bit...

I know that feeling all too well man. I've basically given up on dating at this point, and have genuinely started referring to myself as undateable and not worth the effort. Self esteem issues ahoy :v:

I have two of the Nanostation Loco M5s on a... 150' or so link. One is inside of a window pointing at the other, which is laying on its side on a shelf inside my garage.

Full-speed, full-strength signal despite blasting through my garage door and at least two trees that are dead in the way. I literally have not had to log into either end of the link for a year+ at this point.
