Morning kids!

 

Morning! Quitting time at 2pm today for me!

 

Morning everybody. Happy Friday!

 

I think this is the first Friday I have worked in over a month. So I'm gonna slack off a whole bunch.

 

Hm... I adjusted my camber on the driverside all the way out to as negative as it can go and I'm still measuring positive camber on the rim... I have a feeling this spindle is bent.

 

I don't think so. Cam and I had our hands all over those things and they never appeared to be out of shape in any way

 

Today is my normal Friday off (I get every other Friday off as part of my normal work schedule) and I'm finding waking up is HARD this morning. So much to do today.

 

Same thing for me. We work a 44 hour week and then a 36 hour one. So this is my work Friday and it sucks

 

Exactly. It definitely has its perks, although you're right, the Fridays on can be rough, especially if it's the first one you've worked in awhile. In my case it always seems like the on Fridays are the ones where something breaks on me at 3:30.

 

nice part is I'm done at 3:30 so the hope nothing breaks haha
but yeah haven't worked a Friday a couple weeks so makes it tough

 

How does that work? Do you guys work 9 hour days or something?

 

Yeah. I work 9 hours Monday through Thursday, 8 hours on Friday and then every other Friday off. That gives me 80 hours every two weeks. It's also handy in scheduling vacation because I can either save days by taking a "Friday-off" week as vacation, or I can go 4 day week, vacation, 4 day week.

 

That's pretty cool

 

yeah works the same for me. Is nice cause under certain conditions with holidays you can take 2 days off of work and end up getting a 9 day weekend.

 

Bah.
Just got back from the dentist for a cleaning and they said I've got a cavity that needs to be drilled & filled.

 

Better than needing a root canal!
Had to have an emergency root canal a couple years ago. That sucked

 

Yeah, it's just a small one. I've been winding the flouride to it for a year or so now, hoping they didn't have to do a filling, but they said it's due. The dentist was all "it's so small you probably won't even need any novocaine!" and I'm like "screw you, asshole, you come at me with a drill I'd better be numbed up first"

 

When I had my root canal, there was an abscess and the pain was insane, vicodin only helped for about 15 minutes after I took it. The tooth was so dead they didn't have to numb me up before drilling into it. That was a weird experience since I could hear the drill, but not feel any of what it was doing, even without novocaine.
