I have five yellow tops that I keep on a smart tender, and two have swollen/exploded/vented egg fart smell after just a year and have been replaced. And this is with a ctek charger tender that has done nothing wrong otherwise. I think Optima batteries are dogshit now.

rdb posted:And all of this is such a first world problem that its wrong to even rant about it, and that adds to the misery to the point where it kinda boils over. Flying in the modern age is so loving miserable if you're a big dude. I have driven 18 hours to avoid a 3 hour plane ride on Delta, because being six and a half feet tall and overweight means I'll be drat near crippled the day after from ramming my bad knee into the seat in front of me. NM's got it right, Southwest are the only air carrier I'll willingly fly these days. They don't charge me $50 to check a suitcase, and haven't succumbed to shrinking their legroom the way AA and Delta have.

i might've accidentally bought an aw11 that's been sitting for 5 years. it's legitimately rust-free which is why i pulled the trigger. like i checked every inch of it and there's literally nothing other than a small amount of surface rust under the trunk carpeting. 400 bucks.

Man this coding class is an elective, why is it more intuitive and enjoyable than the vibes class I need to graduate? I thought coding was supposed to be an indecipherable and arcane majyyk. Vibes exam tomorrow got me hella nervous to where I can't even focus on studying for it.

Hey, my back popped during my deadlifts, so I cut my workout short. Feels a little stiff, but no pain. Not like previous back injuries, like when I adjusted the bedskirt and it popped and I couldn't move it hurt so bad... Wife loves the vending machine car a bunch. I dig it, too. It's a 2014 Hyundai Tucson SE, so fancy with heated leather seats.

rdb, you have my sympathies.  Do CRJs have something like an exit row that you'd find on a larger plane? Wouldn't help with width, but would help with legroom. cursedshitbox posted:And they fly those goddamn things like fighters. Goddamn you aren't kidding. Anytime I fly anything other than Southwest I'm wondering why they're taking so long to climb or descend. Southwest pilots don't waste a goddamn second getting up to altitude or getting down to the ground. I've been on Southwest for probably 99% of my flights, so the 45 degree climb/descent just seems normal and everyone else has me mentally screaming "WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG" Ferremit posted:Urgh something I ate in the last 24hrs has seriously disagreed with me. That was me all day yesterday. Today wasn't nearly as bad, even managed to work a bit today. But I still feel pretty crappy. Didn't even drag myself out of bed until 2pm today.

Drunk and updating my resume at midnight. I'm still employed but after only 11 months I'm pretty fed up with my current job and ready to move on. Which is saying something, I've never quit a job before. But I'm only going to quit if I get something new, I HATE being unemployed. As many of you know I'm a single dad, I have my daughter thursday to sunday every week. Everywhere I've worked for the last 10 years has been very accommodating in terms of me wanting a weird schedule. My daughter gets out of school at 2:30, so all I ask for is to leave at 2:00 on Friday, and I work extra the rest of the week to make up for it. When I started here they said the schedule is flexible, which was great because they didn't budge at all on salary or any other benefit I tried to negotiate. The two owners don't like to be involved in details so they left my schedule up to the engineering manager, who had no problem with my request. Fast forward 10 months, and they fire my manager. One of the owners has to temporarily manage us, so he finally notices that I've been leaving at 2:00 on fridays and decides on a whim that it's unacceptable. So now I have to loving find someone to take care of my daughter every friday for basically three hours, because they force my commute into rush hour which will add an hour to it. So now instead of getting home around 4:00 on fridays it'll be around 7 pm. And they can't give me a reason outside of "we just want it that way". The dumb part is that I only need this schedule for another year, after which my daughter will be able to drive herself. Of course it's more than this one issue, it's a lovely place to work in general so having a couple little perks made it tolerable. Well it just got a lot less tolerable.

Southwest pilots don't waste a goddamn second getting up to altitude or getting down to the ground. If you really want to see them have fun, fly out of SNA sometime. The rich folk surrounding the airport have crazy noise restrictions. They taxi onto the runway so they start as far back as possible, lock the brakes, hammer the throttle, and wait for the engines to spin up before they release the brakes. They climb out of there hard to 1000' or so. Then they pull the engines back to near-idle and glide out to sea as quietly as possible until they can get far enough to resume a normal climb. LloydDobler posted:Well it just got a lot less tolerable. "But this managerial course we took says we have to have people in the office from 9 to 5! It's important!" That's a load of horseshit. I can't stand management that doesn't seem to understand that a big part of the reason people work is because they have families to take care of, and might actually need to spend some loving time with them.

Is there anything in employment law that either makes a schedule contractually locked in after being defaulted to for a given period, or requires notice for them to impose this stuff on you?

InitialDave posted:Is there anything in employment law that either makes a schedule contractually locked in after being defaulted to for a given period, or requires notice for them to impose this stuff on you? Well, assuming a small enough operation where the owner takes on responsibilities after losing a single manager, "the owner said so" is basically the only applicable law in this situation.

Welcome to America, land of at-will employment. You might have some tiny chance of fighting it if you had a written contract and were willing to go to court. Otherwise, you work the hours you're asked to or effectively resign via job abandonment.

meltie posted:You bastard! nope, sunroof since it's an 86. it's ok my sw20 already has t-tops so i got that covered. i'll have to get it running before i worry about the alternator or anything else. gonna start by replacing the fuel filter and checking the relays, hopefully the fuel pump isn't bad (it's gonna be the fuel pump i already know it). will make a thread as i work on bringing it back to life over the weekend. it's just a dumb summer project, i will prolly sell it once college starts back up in september for a lot more than 400 since finding a rust-free aw11 is rarer than finding a unicorn. or alternatively i'll fall in love with it after i get it on the road and not be able to bring myself to sell it and end up owning a second mr2 and just switch which i drive day by day. the aw11 is a car i've lusted after for eons, back in 2011 i test drove one but it was a basket case and ended up with an rx7 fb. love that rx7 so much i tried finding anotehr when i moved across the country, ended up with an sw20 instead because it was cheaper than a good fb (wtf the prices out here are weird). now i finally got an aw11. guess it all worked out in the end in a really convoluted way.

You may also be subject to "hmm yes that's a perfectly good justification for this inconsequential compromise you've requested however I've already said no and I can't be seen to change my mind" Which is great fun. Best of luck Lloyd hope you find something suitable.

A lot of managers have trouble with the idea that a big part of their job is to consult and be advised, not just to dictate. "I want" has little value: Businesses function on "we need".

Ohhhh, you mean an actually cloud. Get thee to the grocery store/Walmart/etc. On the TP aisle will be products called "sanitary wipes". They are baby wipes for adults. Buy them, wipe in more comfort, if not comfort. there's even a brand called "Man Wipes" or something. nm posted:Baby wipes Or, yeah, actual baby wipes will do the same thing, but you'll smell like a baby. IOwnCalculus posted:"But this managerial course we took says we have to have people in the office from 9 to 5! It's important!" It's amazing how often management doesn't seem to realize how many of use don't actually *want* to work, but have to because we like to eat and provide for our family. Or maybe they just don't care, because they could replace you easily. Probably that last one. "Hey, why can't we seem to keep talented, reliable employees?"
