It's only a matter of time before tumblr is basically entirely car freaks. The otherkin kids will eventually get fed up and go somewhere else while we all post twelve page screeds about Lenco-related sexual fantasies. Regular society has looked down their nose at us for too long, friends. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Dec 28, 2015 |

They've been trying to find out who's been stealing from the register for the last week so I'm worried they're going to think it was me. I'm gonna talk to the gm tomorrow about it. I hate the job/company/customers but I'm no thief damnit. Well not intentionally. The gm not saying anything about it wouldn't surprise me though. Working someone open to close 4 days a week and open to 9 the other 3 doesn't leave a lot of time to give a gently caress about paperwork.

Wait, they only have one till?  Even the smallest stores I've worked had at least 3, and generally ran 2 - one for the front counter, and one in the back for drivers. My first store actually had 6 tills - 2 in the bar, 1 for the CSR, 1 on a cart that I never saw used, 1 for the drive-thru, and 1 in the back for drivers. 1 bar, 1 CSR, 1 back most days, weekends got a drawer at the drive-thru.If they'd spent 5 minutes doing what they're supposed to be doing at the end of the day, they'd figure out in about 10 seconds why the till was coming up short, if it's related to your tips. All of that poo poo is supposed to be reconciled at the end of the day in every place I've ever worked that handled cash. At the franchise I worked at, every credit card slip had to get a copy of the sales receipt stapled to it (no idea why on that one, they'd blow through an entire roll of receipt paper reprinting tickets at the end of a busy night), then the whole stack got clipped onto the end of day credit card report (which shows order #, phone # with the order, amount charged, tip amount, total amount, and who cashed out the order, line by line, for every credit card transaction, including voids and refunds). It didn't show what till was used to cash out an order, but I know there's a way to run an audit log to show that. I believe corporate dictates that they should do a full safe and till count at every shift change - that way over/shorts can be tied to a specific shift and manager. But corporate also dictates that if more than one person is going to use a till, that they be given access via their own password via the till access function - that way there's an electronic trail of everyone who's had their hands in the drawer, and a username gets associated with anything related to money and dispatching (in every store I've been in, half the store, if not more, just uses the shift manager's password). If they'd been doing that, they would have noticed "hey all of the tips GB has entered have been $0, someone probably didn't show him how to enter tips properly". Have you been cashing out your own orders for a week? Or much longer? One look at your paystub will tell you if they've been entering your tips at the end of the day for you (the computer should also pop up a warning saying your tips had been adjusted during the EOD stuff when you clock in for your next shift). edit: well poo poo, some friends who had some damage to their apartment from the tornadoes aren't being allowed back into their apartment (by police) to gather their clothes/belongings. Part of their apartment complex was leveled though, and the neighborhood around them is gone. Hopefully the police will let them in to get their stuff soon. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Dec 28, 2015 |

KozmoNaut posted:Or you could just buy a remote controlled HDMI switch box The thought did occur to me. I'd have to teach my Harmony how to talk to it. At the moment, I'm good. I barely use the PS3, so it's set up to run through the HDMI pass-through on the Xbone, and the Uverse uses the second HDMI on the TV, with the TV's audio out feeding an analog stereo signal back to the receiver. None of it is irritating enough to make me spend $300. The Locator posted:I'm not a huge fan of Pioneer, I like Onkyo or Denon. At that price point (approximately) there are some really great A/V receivers - http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-NR636-7-2-Ch-Network-Receiver/dp/B00IQ0SE22/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451159747&sr=8-2&keywords=tx-nr545 Thanks, that one looks reasonable, as long as it passes the SD inputs to the HDMI. I'll keep it in mind - I've not used Onkyo, but I have no reason not to. some texas redneck posted:Holy poo poo, one of the tornadoes to hit us last night was an EF4. It was all north-ish, of me, but pretty unnerving with the phones going off with weather alerts, and plenty of wind/rain as it was. Tornados in December. WTF?

I was driving back from Myrtle Beach, up I-95, and suddenly saw a shitload of grey smoke from the left lane. It did not surprise me in the least to find a Subaru on the shoulder about half a mile later.

Bucephalus posted:Yep. If I bend over and straighten back up too fast*, I get dizzy and shaky, and sometimes collapse. Been tested for epilepsy, CT scanned for sinus/inner ear issues, checked BP and glucose, etc. Haven't found the issue. Yeah, I get the same thing. Started 2 years ago when I started drinking like a fish due to mental breakdown and poo poo catching up with me. It comes and goes though, hasn't happened to me for a couple of months, but sometimes when I stood up, start shaking like I have parkinsons and then I collapse. E: even though I got tested for bp when standing up - it should raise and it does, I'm thinking it either happens when I'm dehydrated; or hardening of the arteries from drinking and smoking. In other news, the 40C heatwave has started here and I'm pissed off as I used to run an a/c business and have spare a/cs to install at the new house, but I currently have no a/c. The old house had 2 split a/cs ready to take, but literally someone else has taken them before I could go back and get them (I'm at the mercy of others since I have no drivers licence still). Two systems are still installed there I could take before demolition of the old house, but demo means no power, so need to borrow a generator. Some cunts even took the wall mount brackets and spare copper pipe though too. Merry loving christmas. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Dec 28, 2015 |

Well that was a fun 2.5 hour drive to the job site. We have a meeting at 10AM and then probably coming back tonight to work. They threw me a couple hundred bucks to book a hotel a few miles down the road.

Those of you with kids and significant others: do you both drive family haulers, or do some of you have one practical car and one with a reduced/no back seat?

We have one kid (he is 3) and we have a 4-door accord and a 4-door civic si. I am probably selling the Si to buy a BRZ/FR-S or maybe a fiesta ST. The accord is plenty of car for road trips/family stuff, and as long as I can sort of squeeze a carseat/booster in the back seat of whatever car I drive we are good to go. My SO is a good lady and tolerates these ideas from me  I would say as long as youre not exceeding 2 kids, one decent sedan/wagon/whatever should be fine.

We got a minivan after #2 was born because we were planning on growing the family, but our second car is a saab wagon (for the moment). It's a bit tight with two car seats, but it works.

I have a much older Onkyo, probably about 8 years old (model wise) and I have it connected to my TV via a single HDMI and every single input I have connected passed through no problem. I've had it connected via component, optical and basic cable and RCA inputs as well as all of the HDMI at some point in the past without any problem. Note that I do not use the TV for audio at all, so I can't guarantee that every hook-up combination I've used passes audio properly, since the entire point of having it (the A/V receiver) is so that I can use my surround/good speakers and multiple subs while watching stuff.

We have not had any transmission failures, the major failure component on these is the angle gear for the driveline, but really that is solved by just keeping it filled. She dailies it and it treats her well. I've had to flush the transmission twice in the year we've had it, and it has a sticky solenoid on 3rd, but it drives great otherwise and has all the amenities and everything works. And it handled the torrential rain we got on Christmas day like a champ. It also has 207k miles on it. She also says she will never drive a car without have a turbocharger now, as the turbo 5 cylinder accelerates even with an automatic like a bat out of hell.

We did the first option for a while - wife's car was the 2007 Mazdaspeed3, followed by the 2013 CR-V, while I had a single-cab '98 Ranger. Far from "sporty" but definitely no place for a modern car seat. It got old only having one possible baby-hauler so that was a significant part of why I sold the Ranger and bought a Grand Cherokee. I wouldn't call the WJ practical at 15MPG lifetime average, but it's more useful than the Ranger (and with a $15 trailer rental, can haul just as much poo poo).

Whelp it turns out the job I was supposed to start today was just a kick off meeting and we won't start until next Sunday night. And by then I will probably doing a different job near my house. They are checking if we have any other work in the area, otherwise I will be hanging out in the hotel they booked for me for the week tonight and heading home tomorrow. Boss told me to catch a movie or something on the clock while he figures this poo poo out.

Someone linked all his previous threads in the current one while it was in LP a while back, I'll go find it. Unfortunately that one was towards the end of Waffleimages so pretty much all the links are dead, but he does have a photobucket album with everything intact. Here's the megapost, and here's the relevent post in the froot truck/THIS GODDAMN TRUCK thread (requires archives, and I just remembered a little babby Enourmo was responsible for the latter namechange. good times.) photobucket album, sorted by vehicle. man this kinda turned into an effortpost trip down memory lane. we salute doctor 14 inch psilocybe turbo, MD. shine on ya crazy diamond.

Rhyno posted:We're in the middle of the ice storm hitting the flyover states. Same here. I lost power a couple hours ago and had to scramble to get the supply line for the backup sump pump in place before the basement flooded. Made it with maybe an hour to spare. Would have had it in yesterday but one of the couplers was bad and I didn't notice until I went to install it. I've got a pretty big mess of tree limbs to take care of once things calm down. Also need to see if I can modify my big server UPS to use motorcycle batteries or something. The batteries in it are about shot and it would be nice to have like 4 hours of runtime and not pay the apc tax.
