hmmm... someone sneaks into their office, gets a look at all the applicants phone numbers and texts them all not to bother showing up. Guy who gets the job is the only one to show up.
But I'm just a paranoid fuck.

I was gunna go with the assumption the manager was just convinced by the someone else to hire them at midnight... if you catch my drift

Second time in approximately 3 weeks my car refuses to start. Jump starts work immediately both times but last time I had the battery checked it was still 40% in the green and today after dropping off a door dash order , same thing. Last time I left the emergency flashers on but this time nothing was left ajar or left on , etc.

Originally had 1.5-2 hour eta for roadside but they expedited it thankfully. Now back at dealership to have this looked at..

Hopefully the figure it out this time!

oh boy almost got ran over/involved in a multiple vehicle crash this morning. So coming up to intersection see the opposite side has people turning left so slow down to time it since when they done my side will go green. See them finish but fuck up timing and end up having to completely stop.... and of course soon as I put my foot down goes green. Start slowly rolling again since didn't completely downshift and half way thru the intersection when I hear truck next to me honk... a second later a car appears barely in front of me. Some retarded ass teenage Asian girl decided make a left turn in a busy intersection on red and from the look of complete surprise on her face I'm guessing she didn't even check to see if traffic was coming. God I'm so glad we don't take reckless driving seriously so she can definitely not learn her lesson

So battery failed , need a new one so no big deal kind of figured such. Now the first thing I asked for was a battery test to be done which should be standard procedure, I worked for honda and Acura service departments so I know this. Fucker is trying to charge me a full diagnostic fee for this even though the battery load test which takes less than 10 minutes and is literally done free every dealership I've ever been at .

Oh top of talking down to me like I'm some idiot to begin with and not listening to my entire backstory which would explain why I think it's the battery first, I'm over it. I left a scathing voicemail for the service manager and if I don't get a call back going down in person. I'm over it.

Edit : Walked into the shop and spoke with service manager in person , got everything waived though I tried to pay for the battery amd rental car. So at least I got my car back and things look good now...

Wife and I are having our first Ultrasound for our first kid in a little over an hour. Ten minutes ago my wife's mom told me she wants me to tell her that they're going to have to put their dog down because of cancer.
Really, really hoping the ultrasound is all good news otherwise today is going to be a very, very bad day.

Bruh....same ish story. When at the insurance place we worked right next to a shop where my coworker had a lot of stuff done for her and her kids car. She'd always say she never gets charged diagnose fee and all that. So, I call them ahead when my car is dead one morning. They know I work next door and they also know I was just next next door at Advanced Auto buying a battery, which they tested and the "new" battery was dead. They call me at work and say it took the alternator so I'll need both. No problem. Walk next door to pick it up. Fucking $90 diag fee. I'm not saying give me the neighbor discount or anything like that even tho I know you work on my coworkers cars every other day and she's telling me you charge her next to nothing for work. But shit man I tell you it's a battery right away and you want to joke with me about Advanced Auto and you want to "talk shop" about my car (Mustang with the Roush body/suspension/exhaust kit) and you charge full price on something that you know I know took you 10 minutes at most to diagnose? Not cool man.

Not over it.

@Souj: Good luck with the ultrasound. I'm sure it'll be good news.

So I periodically get a bout of lightheadedness/fainting after waking up (like 2-3 times a year). Happened on Monday, so laid down until it passed. But no, bladder decided to go full on PISS NOW mode. Thought I could force myself conscious long enough to drain it, and am almost done when next thing I know I'm waking up on the floor. 44 years old and I may have finally broken a bone. X-ray shows nothing, but I was told that the wristbone causing me problems is notorious for not showing if there is a fracture right away. So I got a big-ass splint on my dominant hand until I get a follow-up in a few days. Of course, I started a new job about 10 weeks ago stocking shelves and working freight, so who knows what will happen when I go in Thursday. Nothing like calling into work within the first 90 days (broke like a 12 year record of not missing work), and will be limited to what I can do when there, so who knows if I'll be employed by the end of the week.

The real kicker is the check for anemia they did. That pinprick is a real son of a bitch, and has been more annoying/painful than anything dealing with my wrist, like eating salty chips while you got a papercut on your finger.

Went to sell plasma today and popped a flat less than halfway there. Had to catch a lyft home. So instead of getting 40 bucks today, had to spend 10; and now gotta buy another tire (3rd flat this week; tire is done) instead of just a tube

Everything looked normal. Now to find the time to tell her about her dog.

I started giving plasma a few weeks ago for some extra cash. They have some deal for new people so you make 50-60 per visit for a month instead of 20-50. Last week, there was a problem with the return and they had to switch arms. Three days later, after nothing looking out of place, I had a giant ass bruise. Now I'm like... maybe I dont need that extra cash so badly.

This sucks. Sorry you have to go through this. It is even more impactful when your wife is pregnant. I have gone through something similar.

I've been doing it for about a year now, twice a week, and have never had any such issues.

I'd say give it another try. I don't think that will be a regular occurrence.

[dasva]

Here's a fwp I've been trying to give plasma/blood and every time I check the closest place that actually pays for it with something besides juice boxes is about 100 miles away. End up costing me more to give then I'd get

Got censored by my phones speech to text software (assuming it was G Board, which is the keyboard app I use on my Galaxy). Found out when I used it to message Astylla and I dropped a few F bombs and the word shit in a couple of messages and they all came out F*** and S***

[mallister]

i used to donate plasma regularly, back in 2002 going through the first divorce and in the DoD biomed school. good times. got a lot of homework done, and had my gas money covered.

My dumbass gave away 8 gallons for free to florida blood services before I found out that I was able to sell it instead.

Slight sore throat has turned into full on throat on fire complete with a fever on and off and full head congestion the last 24 hours. I want to just crawl into a hole and die until this passes. Knowing my track record that will be about 3 weeks from now..

So apparently I missed the memo about me appearing to be a complete invalid or something. Starts off with one customer trying to pay in a kind of confusing manner so I ask for the other invoice from another day we apparently got him... and coworker says she can help and pulls out an old ten key to add up some small numbers for me... like I didn't just get done doing a bit of math and have a calculator. A little later boss tries to do same thing and I have to explain again that yes I did indeed pass kindergarten. 2 separate customers warned me to not hurt myself picking up 10-30 lbs lol. Another one made a huge deal about not being able to get closer so I'd have to roll our container and it's so heavy and doesn't think I can do it far... sure thing is 200-250 lbs loaded but has nice big wheels. Like shit half the people at Costco are pushing more and I've literally dragged this thing uphill when the wheels fell off once

Wishing I had the means to get far away from this shithole state after a consecutive chain of events that can be summed up as my family being a bunch of ungrateful ass goblins.

Got appointed as conservator for my dad.

First order of business: pay $2400 for the court appointed attorney from my dad's estate. I already paid $4800 for my own lawyer's retainer fees. ugh.

And I haven't even received the bills for the premium payments on the $235k bond the bondsman posted. more UGH.
