Fermented Tinal posted:Boss still said I looked like hell and gave me the shift block off, with pay despite me not having any actual sick days. Good on your boss. We just got a new HR software suite at my office, and I was poking around in it and discovered that apparently my company is really bad at keeping track of sick days for salaried employee's, even when said employee has made sure to put every single day used into the time tracking system (not really time cards, since salary, but used to track time against different projects). According to my personal records I should have 17 sick days available. According to the new HR system, I actually have 39 sick days available.  I asked my boss what to do about it, and he said "That will come in handy if you ever get really sick and somehow manage to use up your 6 weeks of major medical". Heh.

wallaka posted:Yeah, until they reconcile that poo poo. I'm still keeping my own records, but the old HR system was a huge pile of crap and many of the managers didn't use it, and even if you put your time into it the managers often wouldn't check and 'approve' them so they'd drop off. I doubt it will ever get fixed, but not planning on using it anyway, and it doesn't get paid out if I leave, so it's just a funny number for me to joke about.

It seems I'll be getting my new old car about a week earlier than I expected. The dealer apparently knew a neat little paper trick to speed up things up. I'd elaborate but it's just a bunch of boring (and ever so slightly shady) Japanese bureaucracy. On the downside it means I'll have to re-register it again once it's arrived here but it won't be my first trip to the registration office so it shouldn't be too bad. The only question left is do I want to spend the extra $40 bucks to get custom plates? Bear in mind in Japan that's just 4 numbers, boring.

Expect lots of dog pictures if we do, think it's three shepard mix mutts around seven weeks old...so loud any full of dagger teeth.

On one hand, I hate insomnia. On the other hand, the inability to sleep for multiple days let's me get a bunch of random poo poo done that would be normally difficult to find time for. I've burned through 2 spools of flux core wire so far and I think that despite not being confident enough to do anything related to structural strength, I can do very basic fab work that is embarrassingly ugly. I really need to get an angle grinder or something, I have more slag to clean up than I have Dremel cutoff wheels left Speaking of which, slag is much hotter than I expected. I was being lazy and left a catch basin full of coolant under the exhaust pipes I was working on. Halfway through attaching a new O2 sensor bung, I noticed that I was holding an arc generating tool and standing in a giant puddle. The slag was so hot that despite only a little bit of it falling into inches of ice cold coolant, it still melted holes in the basin and flooded my garage. Lesson learned...

I'll tack things together and if it isn't structural run a bead. Ff it needs to not fail I'll tack it then bring it to someone that knows what they're doing.

That's what's driving me nuts, dude's completely out of my life but I'm still obsessing over this bullshit. Obsessing over poo poo like that is very, VERY difficult for me as well. But we have to work on letting stuff in the past stay in the past if its loving up our today. I know that's so much easier said than done. But it takes work to let things go. So keep the good stuff, this motivated you to get in shape, and chuck the rest in the gently caress it bucket.

Lloyd was moving his Amazon around on 4 of them. I also moved my C70 around on them which is significantly heavier. And yeah dunno about 1000 lb but they're fuckin awesome, I keep accidentally storing engines and transmissions on them so I never have any to use. What's really sad is that I have enough heavy car parts to use up all my dollies stuffed in a 20x20 garage. I need to purge.

I owned a '93 929 a couple years ago and despite a crumbling interior (PO was nuts) it was solid enough. Huge scene for them in Japan with plenty of rotaries. I just want this car to DD in during the milder seasons. Dude on Mazda247 tells me he gets 27mpg on average in his and it takes 87 octane.

After seeing how easily Hammond could slide his 4 door Maserati around, that 929 should be a really fun daily. Edit: It's an auto, so shift kits are $70 ( https://cobratransmission.com/shift-kit-rl4r01a-re4r01a-r4a-el-re5r01a-1105055-1) McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jan 26, 2017 |

Passed a first-gen Dodge Grand Caravan on the highway and now I want one. I don't even have kids!  Nobody on craigslist has one for sale and ebay has two up for auction: one out of my price range, another garbage. Is there a secret mopar corner of the internet where someone with brain damage like myself could at least peruse to find one?

My favorite part of the turbo caravan thing is the owners know that no amount of money in performance parts can ever make the van be worth more than $2500 and they still do it anyways.
