I had a couple Redbulls which made me a bit hyper, but I think I made a positive impression and conveyed my ability to empathise and my experience in a similar role.

 

Good luck dude!

No idea what that scene is from but I get the sentiment.

 

I got to sleep at about 2 am and got drenched by pouring rain about 20m out the front gate after leaving this morning at 7-45. Great start to the day but nothing a Redbull and some Maccas chicken nuggets won't sort out as my guts feel screwed up due to my eating pattern being completely ruined.

 

I have a feeling I will get sick from this after being fine for  year or so. 

 

Madness. Yet maybe I am just allergic to work?

further along on the frame resto. deep cleaned it yesterday, power washer. sprayed today w/ a rust inhibitor. next to find someone who is willing to install it.

finally found a shop to install my subframe. appointments in a couple weeks, and the estimated cost didn't sting as much as i'd thought at all.

 

with that, an exhaust leak repair, and some body work from someone who hit me in feb/mar(their insurance covers that bill), my goal is to have my car fully up to muster by the start of meteorological summer(june 21).

 

my cars drivable atm, but it just feels good to get things moving.

I am at a wedding - always feel like a red headed step child. For one I dont drink and secondly I am not one to small talk or give a fuck. 

 

Damn bro, anti-social sorta sucks. 

I hear you on this.

 

I used to get flown to NZ for the christmas party and for some reason while the rest of my team would be sat together I'd get sat at a random table with some mopes I have zero in talking to and who have zero interest in talking to me.

 fucking painful.

soak in a cup of wd-40 , take them out and let them dry , soak in a cup of industry grade nail polish varnish remover .

 

using centrifimatacal force helps loosen the inner tube paint gunk up so just do that a few times each step.

 

i had decent luck just using a super thin sewing needle after the varnish step , but you have to make sure everything is a decent room temp

I just had my first "Am I really that old" moment, and it wasn't great. 

 

This guy came by selling his pest service routine and my wife told him to go in the back and talk to me. The dude was a good sales man and I was like "yeah, yeah. So you're gonna make the bugs go away? Say less!" We ended up bullshitting, not about big services, just this and that. He eventually said some shit like "back in the mid 2000s when I was young..." My brain was instantly like damnit man. In the mid 2000s I was runnin these streets and being a grade a asshole. So I asked him how old was he anyway. He poked his chest out and said I'm 24. How old are you? I told him I'll be 42 this year and he was like oh cool, you and my mom are the same age. 

 

Haha. That's all.

I think I'm old enough to call these motherfuckers young man or son and not come off as disrespectful. I might take it for a test drive this weekend and see how it feels.

DoorDash faces lawsuit accusing it of charging iPhone users more for delivery

I ordered some food from an indian joint the other day through Uber eats.

The app is all "add a tip for the driver and I'm like "sweet it's horrible out there and I wouldn't want to drive that road in the rain" and add 5%.

 

The estimated time comes and goes and I'm about to ring the restaurant when an indian guy in a hooptie with the restaurants name on the side pulls into the driveway and delivers the food. Meanwhile Uber is still showing as waiting to be picked up.

 

As soon as he leaves I tick the "delivered "and then realise Uber has just nabbed a 4.80 tip for exactly nothing.

I got stooged

 

Think the restaurant was pretty smart - instead of having to try build the delivery service get listed on Uber eats and just deliver it yourself.

 

 

fuck Uber in it's shitty gaping arse. should give that tip to the restaurant or refund it.

 

And fuck me for using them.

I dont use any of those apps - I dont trust them and never have. Full boomer status basically.

 

My girl is all about it. I have talked to enough dudes in jail that say they deliver for me to consider the whole operation hella sus. 

 

If its not pizza - Im not getting it delivered. Thats that.

yeah every delivery app has been caught doing wage theft for stealing tips. you should assume your tip does not actually go to your driver, or at least not in full. (there is no bottom for these people) 

 

this restaurant probably just uses uber eats as a service for processing orders, it's easier than doing it on your own. but yeah, tip the driver yourself next time.
