InterceptorV8 posted:The big giggle is that my truck never goes into that lovely state. OK, I did a quick hop into California for a big bonus just a couple of weeks ago, and stopped counting after I got cut off 6 times in a row. I really need to figure out why my fuel mileage after service has taken a hit, but I don't have many fucks to give since they figured out how not to pay out the fuel mileage bonus anyway. If they want the truck to get better mileage, they better get better shop workers. Is part of the deal that company shops pay dogshit?

Which has led me to me new problem of hating the company I work for, but there is like one maybe two other companies that would pay more then my wife and I make working here. And that's the downside to niche work in a nutshell.

Ha, the Beltway is kid poo poo now compared to 95 South between the Beltway (mile marker 170 I think?) and Exit 130 or so. Almost every weekday this whole year headed south and a lot of days headed north there's been nasty miles-long backups because they've closed all but one or two lanes in multiple places. Think running at night would help? Nope! It's all 24-hour work zones, same problems and same miles-long delays even at 3 am. At least they back it off a little during the rush hours, although usually they do it by loving the traffic even harder in the other direction. The best part is the lane closures have been producing 1000% more fender benders than usual, and they block even more traffic because there's no shoulders anywhere to move the vehicles to (or to get a tow truck through). gently caress my commute.

Hummer Driving human being posted:I bought a CB and antenna when I went from southern Virginia to DC almost every weekend for six months. Channel 19 was very active. The speed trap and traffic warnings are the only useful part of it. The rest of it is people complaining about Obama or getting into racist shouting matches or someone with an illegal amplifier drowning everyone else out playing some crappy music or making fart noises just to make everyone angry. CB radio is internet forums for people who can't read.

Ozmiander posted:6'5" and 400lbs a month ago here. I'm visibly fat, but people never guess anywhere near my actual weight. The lovely part is that even though i won't be running any significant distances, i'm not so unhealthy i can't walk several miles, lift and move heavy poo poo all day, etc. But i still get loving pegged for a sleep study :/ Holy poo poo, I am 6'7" and 310 and visibly fat (big ole gut and a bunch of face/arm fat). Most people are ~80 pounds too low guessing my weight. Thanks to my job the last couple years I'm now built like a brick shithouse under the fat, and I am the widest-shouldered person I've ever seen. You have to be a huge dude in every dimension at two inches shorter and another 90 pounds. We should hang out and take over a town by force or something. BMI "accuracy" tops out around 6 feet tall (ie 3 inches over the average American male height). My dad had a pulmonary embolism and spent a month in hospital. He's 6'4" and only a bit less wide in the chest/shoulders than me, a long-haul distance bicyclist so not carrying much fat and mostly lean muscle when he went in. He came out at 220 pounds and looked like a hideous emaciated skeleton man, like seriously a character from a mummy movie or something. His BMI at 6'4" 220 lbs? 26.8 (overweight).  Mine's 34.9, ie hilariously obese.

Anyone who won't take "I saved enough to take a nice break so I spent three months smoking good cigars and loving my wife and her friends all day" for an answer is probably going to be a bad employer anyway.
