It could be worse.

Amen to that Chris...when you do things to a standard at the end of the day you can at least look at yourself in the mirror, some folks will never understand what that's like.

I wish.
Pouring out.

I don't have to deal with that "crap" anymore .
Presently.
I am very thankful for that.


I was about to snap.
Earlier this year I believe I was working on a clogged urinal and some dude came rushing in and hit the stall immediately next to me when 3 more stalls away from were vacant.
I said really man?!
He said sorry had to go.
I said well how about I come to your job and shit next to you?!

There was no response.
And he didn't wash his hands.

 

this is win #1!

 

this is win #2!

 

i love how the "fix-it-fairy" comes around but yet i get bitched at for not doing anything!

 

Chris
Your a hero at my house and always be one
My daughter is still happy that you helped with her car

thanks again by the way

 

Why the waste of energy with the extra finger? To speak Minnesotan one of the first things you need to learn is (from Josh Benson how to speak Minnesotan):

The Minnesota wave. It’s perhaps the most crucial element to surviving in Minnesota. Study. Practice. Succeed. Earn acceptance. More often than not, the thing that brings a stranger to his knees in Minnesota, is waving. The single-finger wave from the steering wheel is the toughest act to accomplish. But if you get it right, you’ll know you’ve arrived. And you won’t have leave unless you want to.

Not sure what would happen if I used 2 fingers, likely the other person would have an accident. And no it isn't the middle finger it is the index finger. Oh and never see it in the cities. City folks are different.

 

they've now decided to outsource the fenders i make. i had a couple that start to finish i had over 100 hrs in. the lead man says i should be able to get them done in under 55 hours, that he did. I told him he was on crack and the only reason they were done that quick was because he didn't fix all the support arms correctly and half assed the metal work. i did all the metal work on this last one in 49 hours i think. anyway it figured out to about $3900 in labor. the outsourced fenders will be 5k just the metal work but all new. I'll be relegated to just doing the mud work and paint. The boss always said one of the main reasons he picked me was for metal working, he's never bought any metal working tools, and he expects me to turn out an equal product in equal time to what an equipped shop does. I guess i'm not needed anymore. As to my post to Andy about his son and some kind of education, the point being i've been doing this shit for near 30 years and I can't get a job in an autobody shop because I have no certificates save my welding certs. In today's world there's not much need for someone like me anymore. Cool i'll stay home and play with my truck

 

WTF is that?

 

this just pisses me off even more!-dont ask.

 

wife bitching all week-cant say anything-dead horse. need i say more? oh,im sorry,no raise! or pay cut,then raise. sorry!!!!

 

no words!!

 

For all my coffee loving friends i have a little update for you. Christie and I both love coffee and are blessed with having a roasting shop within a half hour drive with wonderful coffee from all over. Our coffee maker started to leak just a little so we decided to get a new one. Normally we just try to find something reasonably priced but we like the ones with the caraffe instead of a warming burner. We decided to splurge and get a good one which for us was also not cheap (for a coffee maker) we read alot of reviews and they all came back to 1 coffee maker. It's very simple, 1 button on/off, and has a function to presoak your grounds before brewing. It's a Bonavita, i already went through the preuse procedure then grond some good CostaRican beans and made a pot. HOLY CRAP!!! that's good coffee. it says it's only a 8 cup pot but it measures its cups by 5 oz. where others are 10 cup pots but use a 4oz measure.. $137 on Amazon and i am very impressed so far.

 

Hey Sue are MTgirl and D ,crap i can't remember the other name, Daria i think. Are they the same person? And are you related

 

This is not what I hate. The work I have seen you do is amazing and I wish I was as skilled in metalwork as you.

This is what I hate. Your Manager is a COMPLETE DB AND HE ENABLES THE MORONS YOU WORK WITH TO GET AWAY WITH CRAP WHILE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR SKILLS. 'cough', sorry, that just slipped out.

 

no biggie i guess just the shop whore they pass me around and take turns screwing me no pitty life moves on and so will i someday
