Another day spent festering in the paint booth...
ACTUAL temperature outside? 98 degrees...
Spent the first part of my morning shooting a final color coat on our car...
Then handed off the car to my partner Jimmy who shot the clear coat...I mean, he DID say that he was the KING of clear coat...so I let him do it...turns out he's not really that good. He shot it dry...got lots of orange peel, and missed some spots...
Here's a picture of him shooting it anyway...notice the crowd of welding students in the window...
That's what I get for taking someone at their word...
I mean, the boy owns his own $600 paint gun and SAID he was good...what was I to think?
I often lack the confidence in myself and my skills that I should have. Clear coat can be intimidating...so I just let him do it.
***
It was reported to me last week that while I was painting our car, laying down the color...the other girl in our class was looking on and she said, "How is she DOING that?"
Not sure if she was referring to how I was reaching the roof or not...
But Jimmy, bless his heart...said, "Y'see Evette? That's what it looks like when a girl paints!"
Apparently Evette is notorious for not doing a THING in lab.
The girls around here are funny...and not in that funny ha-ha kind of way. I mean, they don't do shit... I guess they're young enough to think that they'll get by just on their looks and their flirting...and I think for a while here, that works.
Eventually though...the boys tire of it. When the stakes get high and shit is important...you don't want some cute girl...you want someone who works.
This kind of attitude she gives makes us ALL look bad.
I can tell you that all eyes are on me when I'm working...
Not only are they trying to check out my ass...but they are trying to check on whether or not I work...and if I do, if I'm any good.
Which I am, so they can fuck off.
I don't want them to carry my heavy toolboxes, or big pieces of sectioned cars...I don't want them to let me go first in the tool line (although i'll accept that cuz seriously, who wants to wait on line that long?).
The only thing I let them do is plug in my air hose into the ceiling connections...because I honestly can't reach them. Not that I don't try...
Anyway...I'm sure that's not the end of my rant about these stupid fucking girls...but that's where I'll end it for now.
Right now? I'm hiding from the blazing heat and enjoying one of these...
A fabulously refreshing frozen lemon smoothie...
Cares be gone!!! Because soon it's off to work!!!
(and for the record...i DID get to washing my kitchen floor...but i quit before i moved on to anything else...)
