I was making six figures with all expenses paid at 25 and then realized it wasn't worth the ridiculous stress, micromanagement, and nonsense involved in that job, and that I'd take a 50% pay cut just to sleep in my own bed every night. Then I quit, tried to do my own thing and failed 'cause I couldn't sell water to a man on fire, and got hired at my dream job for a ~20% pay cut. loving worth it. I enjoy drat near every day at work and make more than I did before I went off chasing money.

You guys and gals (gal?) ready for some good news? because i have some good news. I had some ct and MRI scans done yesterday and had a consultation with my oncologist today. All the tumours in my upper torso have encapsulated and are decreasing in size, the ones on my neck are gone and the one in my lumbar region is going in the right direction. I have like...alot less cancer then i did two months ago and my chances of survival have gone from sub 50% to between 85 and 95%. I am beating this poo poo, and this time its for real. The forecast is that i will be ending treatment in october with a last "gently caress you" chemo cycle. I have celebrated with taking the family out to dinner, taking the boys fishing on the dock and preordering the new Sony A7R v2. (photogeeks will now what i mean) Then my father during dinner started asking very strange questions about my dimensions. and before desert was on the table he had ordered me a Canyon Aeroad Slx 8.0 Di2. I dont know if i deserve it, but he firmly believes that the reason i am (probably) getting trough this is because i have ridden my bike all the way trough treatment, and wanted me to know that he cared. i guess my family is kinda awsome. I know that there might be setbacks and nasty surprises, but this is the first time i have been truly optimistic about getting rid of this poo poo. I can see the finish line guys. Sorry for the E/N, i just felt like sharing

Interviewed at that fleet job today. They need a mechanic who also is good at tires and willing to work weekends. They'd also have me get my inspection certificate for trailers-which is something I didn't realize you could do during a truck apprenticeship, though it makes sense since you've got all the requisites for a trailer mechanic ticket at the halfway point of a truck ticket. And inspections are where the gravy's at. But their service manager is also a guy from the lovely tranny shop. He's not that total dickbag service manager I've bitched about that hosed me over royally on multiple occasions, but he is a man with whom I've had a few, shall we say hearty disagreements. Despite that it went reasonably well. I'm still looking but I wouldn't be shocked if I got the call. First tracked tank on the Lexus. 17.2 MPG. Not too bad actually given that I've been running the A/C steady (hah, like that makes a big difference in a V8 luxobarge) and driving like an idiot.

First James Last dies and now Christopher Lee as well My favorite Christoper Lee story was when filing LOTR, Peter Jackson was saying that Sauman was going to get stabbed in the back, do this, flail about, scream etc and Mr Lee says "No Peter, a man stabbed in the back does this..." and everyone one set realized Mr Lee had indeed at one point in his life actually sneaked up and stabbed someone (probably a Nazi, given he was a British "irregular Operations" agent in WWII) in the back. A sad loss but a life well lived to say the least.

Yesterday I put a new flywheel in a 4.6 e150, and it took about three and a half hours. Which is a half hour over book time. Then today I pulled a steering box out of a 95 ram2500 cummins. In one hour would have put it back together but the customer says he needs only OEM for his rusty little poo poo baby. It feels strange to realize how far ive come in so little time. Last year I was a hosed over semi skilled at a dealership. This year im just a tech making hourly in a truck/hotrod shop. I couldn't be happier.

Comrade Flynn posted:I've always told my clients it's easy to make a mobile game make money - it's much more difficult to have one make money AND be fun. Yeah, mobile games themselves aren't evil or bad, and the space is getting massively better and less exploitative as time goes on. I guess I'm just a bit bitter about having to go to pitch meetings and having the studio head or the EP's go "Yeah, but what do you expect the DARPU to be?" or "What freemium features can we add to this to increase the player experience?" Who gives a poo poo, we're not making a F2P game, and none of us cared about that 6 months ago.

You'll be pleased to know it's ARPDAU now. Plus D1 D3 D7 and D30 Retention and D30 D60 and D90 LTV! But adding in freemium features is dumb. You need to design the game from the ground up to actually work. And I don't like adding in that stuff to console titles. Mobile and console are completely different experiences but I think people are starting to catch on.

(i will still ride my klein with ultegra 6800, and i figured, the aeroad looks like a space bike, why not go full retard.) "get a fuji,nikon whatevs" I swapped from a Canon 5d mk3 to a sony A6000, loving amazing camera for the price, because i caught my self leaving the 5d at home because of the bulk. Since i new i would eventually get a FF sony i just was not able to decide between the A7R and A7 mk2 i have picked up FE glass when investing in native glass so i can use it on both. And when sony announced the a7r2 yesterday i knew the decision was taken for me. Todays news just gave me a nudge to say "gently caress it," and make sure that i get one of the first one that reaches scandiavia. I cant wait to use my vintage Nikon and pentax glass on a 42mp, stabilized FF sensor. I am just so happy tonight that i am sitting in my underpants eating peanuts and watching cat videos on youtube.

Hey i havent had a rant in June yet! Yesterday right before we close a Ford Freestar gets hauled in from 150 miles away on a flatbed that sounded like loving tigers chewing metal cans. Guy was up fishing from Chicago and all the sudden his belt stopped moving. As we were the closest franchise I got the ticket. A/C clutch looks like it had been redhot for sometime before seizing. "I dont get it" he says, "I just had a new A/C compressor put in last week! and its my third one in 2 months!" Somehow he didnt realize that turning off his AC would allow the belt to spin freely all three times this happened to him. So i pull like 3 pounds of r134a out of this thing, Seems to hold vaccume. I get to the back where the rear unit sits and realize nobody has serviced that poo poo in ever. Sure enough its completely clogged up. With OEM orifice tube. Next I go back up front and realize that the orifice tube in the front was never changed during any of the last two compressor installs. After finally getting to the front orifice tube out by breaking the line. It was completely clogged as well. So thankfully they decided to do a rear system delete since it suddenly comes to light a day later that "It never worked anyway." And now Im rebuilding the entire front system. For free basically save one hose that the other chain store finally agreed to sell us. Oh and our regualr manager had off today, so I got spend the whole day with the district manager overlooking every single thing I did. And I was hungover from drinking a rather large portion of a Guinness half barrel last night. 4 years since ive moved back from that hosed up town and still, Chicago Strikes again! I would have loved to see the techs face when his boss told him what a right retard he is. Preoptopus fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jun 12, 2015 |

Walked into work today. Boss was pissed about the front drawer being $100 short on Saturday, and was trying to figure out how it happened - 3 people had their hands in it, myself included. I also worked Sun and Mon. I asked him "... did anybody look under the till, in the drawer?" Boss goes up front and lifts the till from the drawer. "WHO THE gently caress PUTS A $100 UNDER THE TILL?!"  Me: Someone who's run $30k+ through a register in a single shift. You never leave big bills visible in a till, and there were no $20s or checks to hide it under. Boss: ... I'm calling my boss to let him know we found it. Apparently his boss laughed and called him a "loving idiot". It's been 5 loving days since I took that $100, and nobody had bothered pulling the till from the drawer to look under there. There's even slots in the drawer to insert checks/etc under the till. Had I not been an honest person, I would have walked up front, opened it with my boss's password, and pocketed the $100 (no cameras, very little auditing on the point of sale, know GM's password, etc - I know enough about the computers to do literally everything that the GM knows how to do at this point).

Took it back the next day, and the same guy went off on me for wanting the cash back, saying it would clean out his registers, and telling me to put the deposit on a credit card next time (I didn't have a credit card at the time, but thanks, and someone who works retail should know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck). Not my fault they don't keep enough money in the safe to replenish the tills after tool returns.

The part that broke was the pipe that runs from the cats to the muffler. I've had to get a midpipe, complete with flex pipe, replaced by an exhaust shop. They initially wanted several hundred, plus several days to get the right pre-bent sections. Pulled out the "I can't afford that, but it looks like you guys have several flex pipes right over there" line. Manager got irritated as hell, but the half blind guy that had been fixing the exhausts on all of my beaters for nearly a decade took me over and we found a flex pipe that would fit in place of the original with a little work. $50 and some pizza later, I was out the door with a new flex pipe + new mid pipe (original cat retained through some very creative welding). Kept me going there for another few years until the half blind guy finally got too blind to weld decently.  (he never used a helmet or goggles, just shielded his eyes with his hands.....)The tl;dr is try hitting up an independent exhaust shop, they might be able to fix it for a lot less than you expect. Super Aggro Crag posted:My mechanic said my wiring harness is melted to poo poo. Remember that part where you said you left the battery hooked up backwards for 10+ seconds? Next time you see that bigass loving spark and the horn goes nuts, you might want to think about disconnecting it before the smoke escapes...

If you have comprehensive, owner-induced damage, like putting a battery in backwards and melting the harness, is covered in a lot of policies. You're adorable. Also IIRC it's a salvage, so good luck on that. Super Aggro Crag posted:Thanks man. I am fed up with working on this poo poo box so it is in my mechanic's hands now. Gonna fill out a loan application with my credit union when I get home and try and get something else and then sell this gently caress box when it is driveable. Ehhh, as a friend, I'll take the gently caress box off your hands in its current condition without charging you, just PM me a good time/date to come pick it up. Obviously I'll be covering trailer rental and finding a truck to tow it back to Texas with.

Awesome news! On a different topic, and not as happy... When we started looking at houses, moving to an established neighborhood with kids was an extremely high priority. Like even if the house itself was perfect, if the neighborhood and people weren't what we wanted, we would pass. Well, we knew of the neighborhood we really wanted, but turnover is really low. Nevertheless, we waited for the opportunity, a house came on the market in the neighborhood we wanted, made the offer and bought it. There are 5 boys in the neighborhood within 1 year, plus or minus my kids age. So when we get home, naturally he wants to play with the kids in the neighborhood. Within 15 minutes of getting home and as early as 8am on the weekends, one or more of the boys is knocking on the door to get my kid to go play. Which is beyond awesome for him. But it sucks rear end for me. I knew the day would come when I got replaced as the go to for fun would come. I just didn't think it would come at age 8.
