No, they fired inspectors. Fewer inspectors means fewer defects found, which means less scrap/rework, so you cut down your total overtime.

I drove an Outlander for a few days in Charlotte. It was low on power and had a stupid wooshy intake noise, but it was fun otherwise. Oodles more cargo room than anything else in Alamo's Small SUV category.

Oh my god, I listed a shitbox 2004 Ford Ranger on Craigslist for $1800, for a friend. Frame is twisted so much the passenger door doesn't open and I had to cut and re-weld the tailgate pin latches. My phone exploded. There are pieces of phone everywhere. Oh god send help. I guess the combination of "small truck that has no modern equivalent," "working A/C," and living in the land of day laborers, is the perfect storm of necessity.

Judging by Cragslist, I can't tell if the Ranger should be a $2000 truck, or $10000 truck. I bought my 2000 for $3000 in 2004 with 50,000 miles on it. Wrecked it almost 10 years later and didn't even bother telling the insurance company because gently caress paying higher rates.

A kid dressed as the Leto Joker got the poo poo kicked out of him at the mall where my store is today. I'm assuming it's clown scare related. I didn't see it, I just got the security email about it. Oh and I would like to rescind all my negative comments about children. We were having lunch today and a rather corpulant woman broke the chair she was sitting in. People rushed over to make sure she was okay and this rad kid at the table near us giggle and said "she broke it because she's fat."

My friend that moved up here from salt lake also suggested a place called Chevy's, another called Zeppo's, and an Italian place in the city called Piazza Italia I'd skip Chevy's (chain platter Mexican) and Zeppo's (fake Italian). Food in Lake Oswego in general is usually overpriced and disappointing. The best Mexican in Portland is probably Nuestra Cocina. Taqueria Nueve and Porque No are OK for upscale tacos. There are many good Italian places in Portland, I haven't been to Piazza Italia in almost 10 years but it was pretty authentic when I went. If you are going out in LO I would suggest Chuckie Pies for Neapolitan pizza. A lot of people like Nicoletta's Table for Italian but I think it's overrated. Tavern on Kruse has pretty good burgers, salads etc.

My job kinda sucks anyway and it really isn't a "career", I would say. Any idea where there's a need in the job market down there? Worked in the environmental industry doing hazardous site cleanup for 7 years and been in sales/service for a laundry equipment distributor for the last two.

Personally I'd never live anywhere inland in FL, but with laundry equipment experience and the giant hospitality industry here you'd be fine in Orlando or on either coast. Lots of hotels with lots of laundry equipment. Or if you want to make good money learn how to bartend.
