Got (officially) fired last week. Got a call for an interview just a little while ago  Of course part of the interview is giving a lesson to administrators pretending to be students. I actually interviewed with this school about two years ago, and it remains the absolute most bizarre interview I have ever gone on.

Got fired from my school last week. Interviewed for a new position this morning, got the job this afternoon. Gainful employment Then I got to put a battery in an immaculate 92 F150 that a guy bought from an old man that only drove it to church on Sunday. Looked like it just came off the lot.

06 F150 V6 Truck has been sitting for about six hours now. It's about 90 degrees out. My antifreeze should still be between the cold fill lines on my expansion tank, right? Cause it's not even close, and afaik I don't have any sort of leaks...

MrChips posted:You guys talk as if Discovery hasn't been poo poo for a long time already. Remember American Hot Rod? aka Boyd Coddington Yells At His Staff. My favorite Boyd Yells at Staff Moment (as I remember it, anyway): He orders a ton of chicken wings for his shop. Two guys don't like wings, so they quietly slip out, get some lunch, and come back without saying anything. He yells and calls them ungrateful or some such  I think I'm going to try sketchy drive thru chinese for lunch.

Have I mentioned how much retail is obnoxious? Highlights include: -5 to 7 batteries installed in the heat (not obnoxious, really, people are generally cool about it; it's just hot as balls is all) -Person calls the store, "Hi, my a/c isn't working in my car. Can you run a diagnostic on it?" "No, ma'am, I'm afraid we don't do that." "Oh. Do you know what a shop charges for that? I don't want to get taken advantage of!" "Ma'am, I'm afraid I don't (I honestly don't know, if I did I'd be glad to let her know)." "WELL THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!" *click* -Man comes in smelling of alcohol. Buys license plate screws. I offer him a screwdriver so he can put them on. "Yeah, I ought-tah. Been ridin' around with my license plate on the back seat and I don't wanna get pulled over." "No, sir, they'll give you a ticket for it, ha ha." "Yeah, and I've got a nasty habit of drinking beer." -Free lunch -Being slammed from 6 until 8 meant that those two hours flew the gently caress by quick, which is nice. -And my biggest pet peeve is this poo poo here. Phone call, "Hi, I want to get a price check on a fuel pump for a 85 Mercedes." "Gotcha. What model Mercedes?" "1985." "Right. What sort of Mercedes is it?" "...A 1985." "...No, is it an E300..." "OHHHh...." Ah yes, the venerable 1985 Mercedes, such a good model - and this happens all the drat time with any make or model car. Before anyone asks, no, it's pretty clear that I understood the year and make. I even repeat it sometimes, for example, "85 Mercedes, what model/type?" and they still, with complete confidence, state, "1985." There's perks, too, like getting regular customers and helping them get exactly what they need. Or helping Hispanic customers get what they need since I speak Spanish. Honestly, the helping people part is pretty swell, but dealing with alcoholics or ignorant people is tiresome.

Black88GTA posted:Oh, can I play? Holy poo poo, someone else knows the "counter monkey" experience. Have you ever gotten yelled at because someone came in asking for a part for the (very) wrong model year car, you get it, and they come back a couple hours later super pissed off and yelling to your manager because "this idiot gave me the wrong part" when their shitbox is 3 years newer than the part they asked for? And then get blamed for it? Because I have. Holy poo poo gently caress working at a parts counter. I've had that happen or they intensely argue that I've found the wrong part for their vehicle because what I have doesn't look like theirs. Then they restate the vehicle and, hey, what do you know, it's a 2003 not a 1993 all of a sudden! There's also the loving morons that don't understand how a warranty works. I've had several in the past couple of weeks that want to bring in a part on a warranty claim and get their money back. Whose warranty works like that? You want to use our part for a year and if it breaks, get your money back? Every warranty there is replaces the product or repairs it for free. No one gives you money back. MustardFacial posted:I always walk into a parts store with a piece of paper with the part number on it. Hand it to the guy and just say "I need this." Not because they're stupid or I think they'll gently caress up, but because I figure this is the easiest way to make their life and mine a little bit more simple. I don't mind this a bit. Hell, I've even used facetime with a customer's husband to make sure it's the right part KozmoNaut posted:Goddammit, this week sucks.

Spent a good couple of hours out of my morning fishing and wading in a lake. Clear water, a nice breeze... No fish, and I got cut short by rain. Can't win them all, but a bad day fishing is better than a good day working.  Shot of the lake as the storm rolled in.

You Am I posted:An Australian White Supremacist has been busted by the police for selling weed to local Aborigines. Here's his garage: I don't know that I've ever seen more obvious evidence against the argument that the Confederate* flag is about heritage and not hate. I mean, if a white supremacist on the other side of the world recognizes and identifies it as being on par with Nazi Germany and white supremacy... *I know it's actually like the VA army flag or something, but that's just what everyone identifies it as.

Enourmo posted:Why exactly is "The confederate flag represents racism" such a difficult assertion for some people to accept? It's super popular among poor whites because waaay back in the day, conservatives did an amazing job of convincing poor whites that they were better off than poor blacks. Like, an amazing job. Living in the South, it's really unreal to see people of the same socioeconomic status do the same poo poo, yet call blacks some racial epithet for doing it. I mean, in the media you kind of expect it because the media is really sensational; but what's sensational in the media for most of the country is Tuesday for us here in the South. It happens all the loving time and arguing against it is an exercise in futility. Pro-tip: When they say, "I mean, I'm just talking back about the good ol' days of the South..." If you respond with, "What, back when cops beat up black people for no reason?" or "Back when there was human enslavement and abuse?" They get real pissed off. Doubly so when you try to argue that Mayberry was a work of fiction. E: They really can't grasp that the heritage thing is about like flying a Nazi flag and arguing that it's about industrialization and efficiency or something. E2: What's the easiest way to get pictures from my phone onto here? I see some poo poo at work that I'd like to share here and in the horrible mechanical failures thread and I'd rather go directly from phone to post instead of downloading pictures to my laptop then uploading then posting. briefcasefullof fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jun 19, 2015 |

We'll see how it goes. She's been wanting one for years and said this one would be an outdoor cat once it got big enough. I don't know how I feel about that. Been doing some reading. My allergies aren't too extreme and many people are saying that they went away after a while. Right now I'm popping Claritin and going to see how it goes. E: I couldn't say no and let this guy go to a kill shelter.
