1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

From garage to no garage, you bet your ass I was happy to have a garage again.

I don't mind doing several things outside but if given the choice, always inside.

 

I've been stalling for a variety of reasons on my LS swap but the big one is I can't do the swap in the garage, my garage isn't deep enough to use the hoist with the engine. I did finally pull my front bumper yesterday,

 

Wide enough?

Maybe back the truck in, pull engine and park the hoist to the side of the truck?

 

blehh that sucks. Could you put a roll-up door on the back wall of the garage to make room/yard access??

 

@Kwikvette

 

left my wife's car parked in our work parking lot while we were gone (long story)....picked it up this AM and all of Sofia's crayons were melted into one big rainbow crayon blob, fortunately contained in a plastic baggie.

@Kwikvette if you want I can send it to you

 

Dicks, dicks for all of you

 

I mean that could work, but then no place to park the range Rover and Mercedes at night. My third bay is a clusterfuck of tools (I need to organize them all) and spare parts so nothing can fit on that side. Its just going to be easier, and hotter to have the truck parked outside the single bay and all the tools just inside. I am getting close to just pulling it apart. I have a potential buyer for the driveline so it helps encourage me to press forward.

I have thought about pushing the wall back 8ft and raising the garage door by a foot so that I can stuff the van in there. Only thing worth considering really.

 

Got another 5% COL raise at work, nice little bump to go along with the raise I asked for last month

 

Are you able to work remotely or do you need to be in an office?

 

ugh don't even get me started

 

That's nice! I didn't even get that much this year... I am taking steps to remedy that.

 

have to be in office, even if I had a photo studio at home I have to be on site since this is where all the product samples are made and/or shipped to. There are some parts I could do remotely but the photo aspect of it, nope.

 

considering I got a good look over the 'confidential executive financial summary' when I was editing the photos for it last week, 5% is the least they could do for us lol.

 

Speaking of which, I never got the file for this last week and just had to send the photos via Dropbox to the CFO's "guy" that was making the powerpoint. Dude fucked it all up and didn't bother constraining any of the images to fit the boxes he was putting them into, so CFO comes to me today asking why I sent them pictures that looked cropped all horribly.
Wtf man, do you really think I would send the photos looking like that lol. He gave me the guy's email and I just told him to send me the file so I could fix it. People...

 

It's even worse here, public institution, my salary and everyone else's is posted for all to see. The broadcasting of my mediocrity is good for morale.

 

Need to burn the balls blue
