    I'm a computer programmer and it seems that the users of my software don't understand that me developing their applications isn't an invitation to become their friend. Nothing irritates me more than to get caught in a chit chat session with some of them...

    I also get the computer tech questions a lot. I don't mind for family, but for others I just say that I write code and don't know anything about how computers work. Not sure if they buy it, but it at least gets them off my back.

    Unlost, my wife's an ER nurse too and she has similar requests to yours. Her rule is if she's not wearing her scrubs, she's not doing it (exceptions for family though).

    Doesn't mean I like them..
    I have been working on cars professionally since I was 16 years old. Licensed and full of passion back then. I used to love fixing cars and making them go faster, but anymore it is beyond boring and is actually turning to hatred..
    Nothing pisses me of more than a customer meandering back into the shop to talk about his classic car and the mods he has done to it.. Dude, I don't give a fuck!! Is the shit broken? I will fix it.. other than that, who cares if your GTO has the original wax pencil marks made at the factory..

    And just because I work on cars does NOT mean I like NASCAR!! I fucking hate NASCAR and nothing would make me happier than to choke you with your Jeff Gordon shirt..

    And if you are old, quit telling me about the "good 'ol days" when you used to work on your own car.. The new shit is way better, get over it..

    I love to tell my customer that we should all be riding bicycles.. everyone is in a good mood on a bicycle

    Anyone else hate the "extra" things that come with their job??

    And just because you are a person doesn't mean you like people either....
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    stay put little Indian
    watch for green seafoam corrosion
    wield that wire brush if corrsion appears
    wait till it completely dies
    buy a battery and keep in trunk (that's right, you're gonna replace it with another battery)
    no matter that PJ20 drained it.

    Blowtorch...heat till you see bubbles, then peel off. If the glass cracks, then you know you heated it too much.

    hey cav....

    what are your thoughts on alignments....

    one of the local tire mounting shops aroudn here recommend getting it done every 5k miles....

    my truck currently has 66K miles on it, but has never had an alignment done...do you think i should take it in for one? it tracks straights and the tires look good...gas mileage has been pretty steady as well over the last 5 years....

    thoughts...

    thanks in advance

    No.

    But..
    if you're blowtorching your windshield,
    and that windshield just happens to crack.
    ..well, that just means that you blowtorched it too much. :|

    I had the worst dream last night.
    I dreamed that I was being used as some kind of human muffler or something on a car.

    it was just awful.

    Worse, when I woke up, I was exhausted.
    (Now that's the worse car repair joke)
