That being agreeable is one of the greatest cheats in life. No matter how much you know on something, or how smart you are, if your personality sucks you won’t get very far.
So many talented and skilled people I know failed because they just would not work with other people very well. It’s extremely rare to be an individual talent skilled enough to overcome that barrier, so at least work on yourself a little bit so you don’t die from pride.
Severe thunderstorm rolled through town earlier, took the opportunity to drive around while everyone was pulled off to the sides of the road.
Couldn’t see 5 feet in front of me and was constantly pelted by hail. Was pretty fun.
It’s an old subaru without an in-line reservoir, also have been knocking out all the leaks over the last year and have finally gotten to the last one… which is the water pump I installed 3 years ago which is now the last part leaking. Also the oil leak was a broken valve cover seal and because the engine is sideways it just gushes out whatever was flung off the rockers. Just did the rear diff last week cause the input shaft seal was bad. Next are CVs and air conditioning lines.
My other car is a GMC terrain with a 2.4 ecotec and those are well known oil burners so 🤷♀️
I constantly check fluids in my car.
Drove a beater once where all the goo leaked everywhere, after like 50 miles it’d need oil and coolant topped off and or power steering.
Kept it alive long enough to get me to work and back until i could get a car that wasn’t as terrible, which was 2 years because i was more worried about paying my absurd rent over anything else.
Still have the habit of popping the hood when i get home and checking
I used to just do hobbies until physical exhaustion would force me to sleep.
Now i sleep 9 - 14 hours on the regular 🤷♀️ Don’t fuck up your circadian rythm kids
Very much a ‘Does Bruno Mars Is Gay?’ Headline situation
Good boss mindset. In fast food service as long as my boss sees the orders going through cleanly they don’t really care how much you fuck around, cause it’s already hard to catch a break so any time where you can breathe it’s usually deserved.
didn’t file it, was too busy moving after my brother threw his gf off a balcony and ran from the police, kind took a little precedence over the work stuff.
6 hours, worked at walmart, they brought in new management who was extremely overbearing. They would walk around with stop watches and time how long it took for you to put a box on a shelf. I noticed at some point that they didn’t see us as people and couldn’t really tell us apart. So whenever another skinny blonde girl was working I would fuck around in the furniture department (as they never stocked that area during overnights). Got away with it until i was fired cause i missed 2 weeks of work from getting the flu + covid right after…
Out of all the things they could’ve fired me for they chose the only thing that was illegal to fire someone for in this state
GMC Spotted, I give it 20 miles until it merges into a freeway wrong
I hung out with my current partner once and we immediately clicked and fucked nasty, that was 4 years ago so yeah that does happen
Same happened on my hph-mt5 yamahas, i took a piece of wire and my soldering iron and basically melted rebar into it, and that fix is still going 3 years on
Am in management, let me tell you, we fill out all those positions. My boss returns the schedule to me with 1/3rd the number of people i put on it. It’s a nightmare
I think Joshua tree is alright but all the other tapes I have of theirs sits in a bin ready to get used for testing crappy decks
It’s becoming very difficult to get good car parts. Many of the companies making them have just given up on quality. There’s a good chance now that a brand new part you just bought and put in is faulty or defective in some way.
It’s a nightmare.
