So I apparently let some meth heads into the building a week ago and they stole $13000 worth of stuff out of various units. Feel pretty lovely right now.

BraveUlysses posted:Did they go into someone's unlocked apartment? 2 or 3 based on what I heard, they basically went around trying doors. Also people apparently were walking past them while they were smoking meth in the lobby so at least I'm not the only guilty party here.

NitroSpazzz posted:The M5 came with a hideous radio head unit. The rest of the stereo install is decent and will likely stay but I need a head unit that matches the rest of the car. Are there any companies that make head units that look like mid/late 80's BMW style but would function with a newer audio install? Basically I don't want a big screen, a bunch of lights and graphics. Dunno about BMW style but blaupunkt units are the only cheap units I found that don't look ridiculous. The build quality is questionable but for a $130 you get a conservative looking head unit and Bluetooth support. If price is no object Nakamichi used to make head units that looked like they came straight out of an 80s car, no Bluetooth though.

There's no anything friendly radio units anymore. Aside from Blaupunkt everything else looks like it belongs in a riced out 90s honda civic. I'm convinced there's a huge market for somebody to design a halfway decent head unit with a simple utilitarian design that doesn't flash blue, red and orange lights every time you turn on your car.

Work has been like descending through the seven circles of hell this week. First they bitched about me coming in late and choosing to eat lunch at my desk. So now I'm loving sitting here at 12:45 with nothing to do.

I think it has less to do with tumblr and more to do with the fact that there is a growing segment of middle class kids coming out of high school that don't have a job and don't really know how the real world works and are stuck in an endless feedback loop where they all reassure each other's life views. Tumblr is just the platform.

I always look at two weeks notice as a way of not burning a bridge and saying "I liked working for you, it isn't working out now but maybe down the road things will change." I know with my current job if something comes up and I need to take it immediately I'll have no problems walking out. Its a corporation, its not like they actually would care about you if the situation was reversed.

On the dog note my dog now sleeps exclusively under my bed. He'll maybe spend 10-15 minutes on top with me then decided gently caress that and jumps off and goes under. Can't convince him to come back up after that.

Dishwasher is leaking. loving GE engineers bolted everything onto the plastic drain bowl with the screws going straight into the plastic. Just gushes water out of a screw on the drain cycle. Going to try taking the screw out, covering it with caulking and putting it back in because gently caress disassembling that thing with three inches of clearance.

Changed the oilpan today. gently caress VW for making the sides of the block aluminum, which also have the most difficult to access bolts for the oil pan. I'd gladly take the extra weight so bits of aluminum don't come out when you finally get the semi stripped bolt off.

Tusen Takk posted:I think you might actually have a better experience because while you're suffering with the lack of nicotine at the same time your sense of smell and taste will be coming back and after that hey i didn't cough of a phlegm ball the size of a kitten today etc. Good on you though One of the biggest reasons for not switching to vaping is that I know it would completely remove any incentive to quit. I really need to get off my rear end and just do it. I'm probably deferring to tomorrow just to finish out a pack.

Sigma X posted:My friend and coworker, who I've known for 8 years at this point, switched from smoking to vaping about two weeks ago. I don't know what a "normal" amount of vaping is, but I know she's taking 5-8 long pulls about every 8-10 minutes at this point. Its still nicotine though which is my primary problem. I don't want to go through life needing something every 30 minutes.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:Got a vaguely-worded call today to go help one of the guys I supervise at work - apparently he was having some sort of crisis and needed to leave immediately. I shrug my shoulders because workplace drama is a daily Thing, go to find him and he's turned inside-loving out... I get him in the truck with me, and between sobs he tells me that his little brother just got shot Only advice I can give is to open a cold one. That's a helluva way to start off a long weekend.
