still the same old everything else.

Quit my job.

I put my 2 weeks notice in last week and tomorrow is my last day on the job.  I'm going to take a break for a few weeks and relax for Christmas and New Years.  It's been a rough year for me, a few ups and lots of downs.  I'm fortunate that I have my family to fall back on.  I'll be reaching out for another job soon though, just need some time to decompress from the office.

Urinal Story

So I'm going to the bathroom to #1 and I'm standing there doing my business when I hear another person come into the bathroom.  There's nothing odd about it, just another man coming in to handle his business as well.  Well, I'm standing there and this man comes up to the urinal next to mine and just starts flowing immediately.  There's no unzipping or unbuttoning of any kind.  I saw that he was wearing jeans when we were washing our hands.  This means that he had to unbutton and unzip his jeans whilst walking to the stall and whip it out in plain sight of the rest of the bathroom if he were to roll straight into a flow once he hit the urinal.  It bothered me a bit so I decided to share.  After he finished washing his hands, he stood at the automatic paper towel dispenser where you wave your hand in front to activate the sensor, but it was broken or malfunctioning and was not dispensing any towels.  This man stood in front of that machine waving his hand for a towel for a good 30 seconds.  Did he not get the point that it was out of order?  I don't know what perpetuates this strange behavior in some people - just the way they was raised I guess.

What's up with some of these foreign people?

There's this one British lady in my office and she talks all loud and has a strong accent.  She also wears crazy colors to work.  Or weird outfits.  Like one time I saw her wearing a beige jumpsuit to a meeting.  It was like beige sweatpants and zip up hoodie, but she had dress shoes on.  What is that all about?

And today, she's wearing a pale green blazer with purple pants

Just cause they're foreign they can wear crazy stuff like that and nobody will discipline them?

I can't even bring myself to do that even though I want to wear crazy things to work just to exploit my "foreign" ignorance.

Or.. maybe she's just a crazy person.

Maintenance $1200?!

Are you for serious??  I have to spend $1200 on maintenance on my coche.  30,000 mile maintenance, brake pad replacement, front brake rotor replacement runs me over a grand.  Great - and that's after I got my free oil change, and 10% discounts off select services.  The original total was $1450.  What the hell is going on!

I looked up how much the parts cost and it totals at around $300.  So they're charging me $900 or so for labor.
Let's say it takes a skilled mechanic about 3 hours to replace brakes and rotors with the proper equipment which I'm sure that they have, and to perform a maintenance on the car.  That's like $300/hr for labor.  It's robbery.

I should become a car mechanic.
I'd only charge $150/hr.  That's a smashing good deal.
