Amazon were meant to be delivering some stuff to my parents' hotel for them to bring back for me, but it seems to have vanished into the ether instead of being delivered yesterday... and when I pointed out I needed it to turn up today, it magically became "order cancelled as refused delivery". Uh, no. Had a moan at them, and got them to instead waive the shipping and dutyto send it direct to the UK instead. Whoever's the local STR-analogue driving that route for them may be in for a bit of a bumming about it if it was them who made that decision, rather than the CS rep that marked it as such, but if you lost it, just say you lost it.

 cut the gap from the bumper too big: even though this started out as bodge-fuckery, I'm gonna have to close the gap up before sanding.

Did you clean the rust out on the backside of the fender and seal that poo poo up too? Otherwise it'll just rust from the back and get trapped against the bondo. Hopefully it's thin enough now that it's only surface right now. Also, get a bondo rasp because it will save you so much time shaping that poo poo.

Hopefully it's thin enough now that it's only surface right now. I felt it with my fingers and it seemed fairly solid (just surface rust) past the parts that I easily took off with my hands. For the back side, sandpapered a bit and applied rust converter haphazardly. For the front, tried to get down to bare metal but left some rust on. My goal is to get it through inspection and be clear what I did with the next buyer. I don't expect it to last long but should hold up this winter.

Kid that traded for my FC RX-7 just put a post up on a Facebook group to sell the engine out of it. He's getting another, presumable more stout, engine built. The irony is that I bought the car long ago to nap the engine and rear seat, but it ended up being my daily after my '79 RX-7 lost compression. I'm seriously considering buying the engine back to put in the aforementioned '79... or in the AE86.

Company I'm working at is doing a Security Awareness push, sending out emails and providing training for phishing, pretexting, and the like, and testing associate's understanding thereof, with their own phishing emails and such. Of course, they want to see how they do against pretexting phone calls. Do they get Infosec to do that? gently caress no, they drop it on desktop support, because we've got, like, nothing else to do, right? Never mind that they never once asked us if we'd be willing or able to do this poo poo. Just dropped it on us, without any warning. Never mind that I absolutely hate, hate, hate cold calling people on the best of days, now they want me to pretend to be someone else and extract internal phone numbers from the marks. I'm sure this is easy for some folks, but it makes me uncomfortable as hell. I can't really refuse, because I'm a contractor, and would really like to stay here, I guess... I'm going to have to do something about that contractor status as well, because, despite the hourly rate being pretty good, I'm bringing home way less than I was, thanks to my contracting companies ruinous healthcare costs, and the fact that I get no holiday pay whatsoever when the host company has 12 holidays per year. That's around $2500 I just don't get, and my base rate is not awful, but it's low enough that I notice a day or two per week missing. Ugh, it's been 6 months guys - hire me or let me go. Permanent contractor is not going to work for me. </job whining>

Been trying to make life not suck, but that goes for everyone I'll bet. Sold the Tacoma, the Aston & the motorcycle are stuck in a storage unit in Spokane until I can find a place to park them here, plus the car needs a service as it's been a few years. I walk my fat rear end everywhere now, which is good for me but goddamn I miss driving. Paying like $1700 for a tiny apartment but it's in a pretty cool part of town and I can walk to work downtown I guess. Also coffee and bums

Probably because one of my predecessors quit immediately when they didn't hire her at 90 days like they said. Goddamn this calling sucks. I'm having trouble working up the nerve to call. This should be easy, but it just mortifies me. It's not, like, and anxiety attack, but I just. don't. want. to. do. it. gently caress them for not asking.

Uh, no. Had a moan at them, and got them to instead waive the shipping and dutyto send it direct to the UK instead. If the tracking was showing AMZL as the carrier, then yeah, it was either a contactor for Amazon (like me) or a local courier company. But if we mark a package as refused, we drat well better return it that day. If we have more than a couple of packages not get returned, we're gone. I've never had a decent hotel refuse to accept a delivery, so long as I had a name and room number. Some crappy hotels won't accept anything on behalf of people staying there (Motel 6, Super 8, etc), but we're supposed to attempt delivery to the room unless the customer specified otherwise (a lot of drivers are too lazy though, and just dump it on the front desk).

I'm sure this is easy for some folks, but it makes me uncomfortable as hell. I can't really refuse, because I'm a contractor, and would really like to stay here, I guess... My advice? Get out. I worked as a computer janitor in a contract position over the summer. Never again. It could have just been the client (Westfield Insurance) but it pretty much confirmed every stereotype about IT contracting I've ever heard. Five person team handling all incoming calls from 4000+ employees meant you had maybe two to three minutes between calls on a slow day. We also had to answer emails and cover walk up assistance. Employees could pretty much walk all over us and we had no recourse even when people made physical threats over the phone (happened more than once and management always hand-waved it away because "s/he didn't actually mean it.") And they asked (demanded) everyone on the team arrive at least 15 minutes early and be logged in taking calls no later than 10 minutes before start of shift...off the clock - any contractor overtime had to have prior and written approval, and they wouldn't approve the 50 minutes per week they were asking. When I wouldn't play ball with the "please work roughly one hour off the clock every week" request they ended my contract, and of course they were very careful to never put the requests in writing so I wasn't able to contest it with wage & labor. Not that I'd want the job back if I could get it.

I don't improv (AKA bullshit) well, and it's vaguely stupid and poorly planned anyway. I like the work. I build and deploy machines.

The other two IT guys at this location are permanent employees, and, outside of a few very specific things, they've treated me like an employee. I got to go to San Diego for their annual conference, and participate in whatever parties and such that they provide. I mean, I've had ample time to type this up... I hate for it to boil down to money, but I got to pay the bills, unfortunately. This stuff with the pretexting calls is me just being... me (spergie.)

Looking back now I'm just really glad I did because having to rent or buy a house now would loving suck.....I'm not suggesting sigtrap go buy a house, it just made me feel warm and fuzzy that my mortgage is almost half of what my house would probably rent for these days.
