so verdict on my car....the mechanic thinks it might be either the Transmission Front Seal ($10 part and 5 hours of labor) or torque converter. but he doesn't work on transmissions, so who knows.

Hey, November isn't done yet - don't count it out!
still no car, still pissed. not as much that my car is gone. but come on....if you borrow someone's car, you drive it for the essentials only. if you live in 2 square mile town and work in that same town, I can not think of any good reason to put about 1000 (yes, that is 3 zeroes after the one!) miles on the car...

you would think more work=more hours=more money. but it seems what happens is better work=less help=more work with same hours.
kind of bites that you get penalized for working harder/better so you get less help, meaning you have to do more work than before.

Oh, I see.
Refer to point 2....
Refer to point 2....
so let's see.....since my older sister borrowed my car on November 3rd, the following issues and observations can be made:
the car has been driven over 500 miles. mind you....she lives 5 minutes away from her job (about 2 miles) and he is closer to his job!
the one tire had to be replaced after a nail got stuck in the tire
it is now...

And screw her if she bitches. I hope she paid for a new tire as well. Sounds like she is taking advantage of your kindness so stay strong 
hellstorm:
she paid for the tire. the inspection is due at the end of the month, and based on the mileage so is the oil change. as for everything else, as far as I'm concerned, she can pay for it. considering that one week has grown to 3+ weeks and it was not leaking when I had my car a whole hour or less on the 9th.
oh another fun day at work. for those who do not know, on Sunday and Monday nights (normally) I start around 11:30 PM and get out between 7:30 AM to 8:00 AM. I usually have a cashier working with me until 1 AM, and a 6 and 7 AM cashier. outside of that, I run the show myself. during this time I restock candy, run...

I'm doing Thanksgiving here, a lot to prep.

The Front End manager actually realized she made a mistake?
so updating my health care plan for next year. I'm looking at a plan (for part-time employees) that will cost about $70 a week. my cost per week? $8 a week.
go figure, a company that provides health insurance to employees, both full-time and part-time, at low cost to the employees. and the CEO is driving a Lamborghini.
how is that possible?

damn insomnia/odd sleeping schedule. woke up yesterday around 3 AM (after falling asleep around 5 AM). got up, did usual things (showered etc.) and ate dinner. watched Big Bang Theory and such, went to bed around 10 or 11 PM. having to work at 6 AM for a 4 hour shift, figured I would set my alarm at 4:00 AM.
well, woke up a few...

Hiya Hell, seems like you need to assert your auto motive rights!
my weekend is here...time to look at laundry, sleep, fixing a laptop, and maybe buying some comic books. or might do that Friday (after I work again). and job search before I go ballistic where I work right now.
oh the fun....how is your weekend looking?

random thoughts.....
...just saw the trailer for World War Z....I am not happy with what I saw. I have read the book (a few times) and would prefer something closer to the book. unfortunately, I do not believe the book would be a good movie. a TV series, yes, but not a single movie.
...the elections are over. people are complaining and what-not. here's what...

so made a funny to me today but posting it here since I'm trying to keep my Facebook page as apolitical as possible (only thing I'm saying is freaking vote!)
Mitt Romney...change you can believe in. again and again and again.
after all, wait a week and the man changes his stance more often than Rochester, NY changes its weather!

so the management staff at work wants to cut hours. fine and all.
here's something for management to look at then:
this morning, I leave at 8 AM (I was called in). when I left, there were 2 cashiers scheduled on the front end. to cover the front end, there was also an STL (full-time manager), the Front-End manager, and a coordinator (mid-level manager) trainee....

Sounds a little bit top heavy. Considering the managers make more money than the people who do real work, if I was the actual owner, I know whose hours I'd be cutting.
so Thursday at 4 PM my weekend starts again, and I'm trying to get the people I play Heroclix with to come out again either Friday or Saturday for another round of playing. biggest problem....people seem not interested if there is no prize for them.
except for one person, he just started playing Heroclix and is learning. he also does some custom clix that will...

Sounds like they are going with the Staples plan - eliminate as many full time positions as possible and replace them with part-time employees that don't require the same benefits and cost outlays. Then you increase your employee count and "Voila!", you're a job creator.
