This stuff. Sounds good. Is disgusting. Finally finished it tonight.
Now I can get to work on the other bottle of vodka that doesn't taste horrible.

You can say that again!
Holy crap, Binky. I just changed the catbox litter two days ago and it smells like someone spilled a bottle of Parson's in the house. 
For the second time this spring, I couldn't help it, I had to go out and ask, no tell, the hispanic woman across the street to not run her dirt blower / leaf blower for hours on Sunday afternoon. She greeted me by blowing her lawn and grass at me. Yes, lawn. She was blowing the dirt off her grass. Granted, the landscaping she's done for years now with the front lawn looks good. But come on, Sunday afternoons? I finished the conversation with e screaming "berleying idiot" over and over. I feel I need at least one person in the neighborhood to hate me, or else I wouldn't be acting my age.
My GF keeps trying to talk me into buying cars that she likes and (pretending?) to hate the project cars I'm in to. If she hadn't wasted her money on a new car with no class she could afford a toy herself and not have to live her dreams through me...

She could be doing it at 5AM on Sunday. In fact, if someone had a problem with me doing something like that on a Sunday afternoon, I would be doing it at the crack of dawn instead. YMMV.
My rant: 9-16" of snow coming in the next couple days. I guess the Miata will be in storage for a while yet.... 
Well thestig99, if it was a hard working, 50 hours a week job person, fun loving neighbor, I would probably tolerate you. But when she is nasty 24/7. does not have a job, works on the front yard EVERY DAY, there's no reason she has to do it Sunday. Tomorrow morning she'll be out there fussing with her bricks and mortar and dirt for 10 hours, collecting disabilty.
In reply to Sput:
When I first bought the house I had a neighbor complain about how long my grass was while I was waiting for my mower, then when it came he said instead of mowing while he had company on sundays I should do it after work like a normal person. The next week after work I had to explain to the sheriff that if I wasn't supposed to mow my lawn at 2am why did it come with headlights. I guess my neighbor thought everyone worked the same hours as him.
In reply to Wally:
That is awesome! 
In reply to Wally:
I do hope the mower had an exhaust cutout to go with the headlights. 
I HATE the house next door to me. I've lived in this quiet neighbourhood for twenty years. The houses are 100 years old and are very close to each other. The old guy next door used to do odd jobs for a local sleazeball who owns a lot of property all over the city. When he and his wife decided to move, instead of listing the house properly, they did some kind of deal with this shiny happy person, and now it's owned by some property management people. Lowlife bastards turned it into a rooming house. This is a QUIET residential area, all of the homes are owner occupied. Now we've got skeevy motherberkeleyers coming and going, music playing, fights and last summer I picked beer bottles out of my hedge. I've called the cops so much that the landlord turfed the drunken bums on one floor, but there's still a changing cast of students and down & outers. So bloody pissed off. I work from home, often have to work to deadline having flown at midnight the night before and the distraction is driving me nuts. Had to get up at 3:00 a.m last week to catch an early flight – but was awake til 1:00 listening to the bass thumping next door. Grr.
Wally - working a regular job, regardless of hours, I get it. But if you had no job, lived off the guvment, were at home very day, would you mow your lawn at 2:00 AM?

In reply to Sput:
I can't say that I wouldn't but I am a bit of a douchebag. One of the reasons I bought a house with no close neighbors was so noone bothers me and I don't bother anyone else.

I heart Wally
Depending on other people.
Things I can't do or don't have the skills to do, I usually turn to friends. This puts me in a bind because I can't count on a lot of them for any type of timely response/fix/etc. I'm also waiting for some things to happen so I can get a new job. But for that to happen, I need to wait for 3-4 people to finish signing contracts in order to form the board of directors or whatever. I hate waiting. I hate having to count on other people to get stuff done. What can I do, how can I help, what do you want or need me to do to help speed things up?!
Nothing, I got it.
No, no you don't. If you had it, you'd have that E36 M3 done 2 months ago.
G-mother f-in'-RRRRRRRR!!
Ditto depending on other people

This is why I can't wait to be able to do my own thing. Just looking at work right now as a platform to expand my experience and lay a foundation for opening my own shop in >10 years.
Couple of rants today.
Shop rant for the day:
People who buy cheap tires that are stupid rich. In the last week, there has been 3 NFL players come to our shop for various things in the last week. First guy(not a big time player) was getting his wheels refinished. He bought some decent tires so I can't give him too hard of a time. But holy crap, mounting those things were stupid. He left his car with us for like two weeks, I thought he wasn't ever coming back for it. Second guy, same kinda annoying wheels, but bought the CHEAPEST tires we had and even had available to wait for 2 extra hours for them to get couriered over to our shop. Dude wasn't exactly a bench warmer, I would think he would buy what we had in stock.
Third guy(played for one of the superbowl teams last year) came in with his friend and both had S Class AMGs. They wanted to swap wheels. Okay, we pull both cars in and notice one of them had completely bald tires on the rear and the fronts had terrible inner wear. All four tires were showing belts not just cords. All the wheels on both cars were bent. To swap the AMG wheels we would have to swap the sensors as well as they were different types of sensors. The friend of the NFL player was selling his car or turning them in or something. So we not only changed the sensors but also pulled the good tires off of and moved them with the sensors to the other wheels. Then, we sold him a set of used Pirelli tires that came off of a 7 year old Maserati that were original to the car that only had 2000 miles on it. To explain that better, these tires in 7 years only had 2000 miles on them. How badly out of shape do you think those berkeleying tires are? So seriously, WTF NFL players? Are you guys really that cheap or is it our dumbberk salesmen?
Miniature rant:
People with their emergency flashers in the rain... Get the berkeley off the road or turn your hazards off! Same goes for you people driving with your brights on in 4pm rain showers. YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR LIGHTS BECAUSE THE berkeleyING ROAD IS ALREADY VISIBLE!
Being an engineer would be awesome if it weren't for working with non-engineers.

The complete opposite is true being an automotive technician verses automotive engineers.

Honda and Toyota tried that in the 80s and 90s, the result was cars were staying on the road too long.
Trying to get a different , better job, I interviewed with the company three times am even did a ride along to see if I like it. Three people for two jobs an I got the call that I didn't get a job bc of geography bit they still wanted me I just have to wait for someone to retire. The job has a company truck and everything. That night I wasn't paying attention and got a speeding ticket with points so now I'm problly screwed when they do call me back. Arggggg

they're required to have their lights on in the rain ... they're just not aware enough of what's going on to realize that their lights are on bright

Being an associate engineer/technologist would be awesome if it weren't for working with the engineers who have no idea what they are designing. Just sayin'
