I forgot how much I hated not working. I have enough money right now to buy a project bike so I'd have something to do, but I have to be "responsible" and keep it just in case it takes me more than a week or two to start a new job

damnit. I was told I could pick up my check from the Euro shop today. text the owner to see if I could get it yet and he told me they mailed it. Rent's late, now it's going to be more late. sweeeet
Went to the DMV today to get an Illinois title and registration on a trailer I just bought from a guy in Missouri. 42 minutes of waiting, give or take 5, for a total of 4 minutes of activity. Schnikeys is that place horrible.
I noticed something though: The foreigners in there who spoke really bad English were not given a number, but told to go to a specific desk. They were in and out, albeit with experiencing a touch of prejiduce from the employees. This I'm sure is in violation of some equal rights act, but the fact is that they got immediate service. I'm thinking about going up there next time with a really thick eastern European accent to see if I get moved to the front of the line.

BRILLIANT! 
Middle management sucks. I'm feeling like Roberto today.
Where's my stabbing knife?!

>The overpriced "Rat Rod". They paste several turds together and think the finished pile looks incredible and everyone else will pay for your extreme talent. I try to ignore them, but they get to me.
May I present:
.........This is by far the funnest hotrod we've ever had but we can't keep them all. Pictures don't do this one justice.........
I think everyone was in slo-mo today. The trip home (usually about 15 minutes) was a good half an hour because everyone I got stuck behind was doing at least 10mph -below- the speed limit. This is NJ where doing less than 10 -over- is a capital offense. I got stuck behind one guy who was doing 35 in a 50.. and a double yellow kept me from passing him for 5 miles.
I'm so out of shape!
8 years ago I was running 20 minute 5k's with no problems.
Today I ran with the gigantic brewery running club with the wife. I made it a little over a mile then had crazy back pains and had to walk. Tried to run the last mile to make up and could only do about half. Calf muscles feel like they were cut in half lol.
And, damnit, I just realized I forgot to call my grandpa today, he just went through his first treatment for bladder cancer after the operation to remove it.
Apparently they inject something super dangerous into your bladder, you let it spread for two hours, then you piss it out. It's so dangerous that you have to flush the toilet with two undiluted cups of chlorine, with the lid closed. sweeeeeeeeeeet. He's going to do fine, though, he's in amazing shape to be in his mid 80s.
Dear Microsoft: I do not want all of my Excel spreadsheets open in the same window. I have 2 monitors. I want 2 windows. And yes, I know the way around this is to open another instance of Excel, but when you are opening files from sharepoint, it doesn't work. Please stop trying to fix what isn't broken, and gdif.
Dear HD content providers, delivery services and hardware vendors... can you all please get in a berkeleying room and figure out how to deliver audio? I mean, this stuff isn;t exactly new technology... but yet here we are in 2013 and I'm watching entire movies clutching the remote with anticipation to adjust the volume so I can hear the plot line but not wake up the whole berkeleying neighborhood when the music/action/etc come in.
Do we really think that explosions and musical crescendo need to be 200x louder than the dialogue or are you too lazy to normalize it?

no E36 M3, every other program in the world can do that easily.

YES! and for christ's sake, commercials definitely don't need to be twice as loud on HD channels
Update:
Just got back from the country with assisting with the funeral arrangements for Granddad Zero, clearing all the medical equip, bagging all his clothes for donation, cleaning the house for acceptance of guests and family and whatever tasks Sister Zero needed done.
Asshat cousins didn't lift one finger to help. They didn't even ofter to kick in some $$$ to help with the funeral
Sis allowed them to have little cookout last nigt at the house. I left just as they started. Sis called this morning and those berkeleytards left the garage, shed, grill area and yard is shambles . . . Paper plates, cups and empty/half empty beer cans EVERYWHERE, broken and missing equipment, none of the chairs placed orderly, tables dirty and messed over, used 5 . . . FIVE large bottles of tiki torch oil and even took the damn bug sprayer thing . . .
Out of 10 adults, one of them couldn't say "Guys, look, this place was clean when we came here . . . Let's clean this up before we leave". When Sis called them this morning . . . All they did was pointthe finger at each other . . . WTF. If wasn't so far away, I would be handing out some ass kickings . . .
In reply to mtn, Ashyukun, Apexcarver:
Thanks guys!!
Apparently, I suck at double clutching crappy old semis.
Its still fun though. 
aaargh. paycheck still not here. Why couldn't I have just picked the damn thing up Tuesday? Rent is now three days late. Have to pay by 15th or they can start eviction process.
Two days in a row it has rained and two days in a row I have left my windows cracked...
Been dealing with a moron Probe owner (HAHAH!!! Pro-Boner!!!) who wants to buy some Millenia injectors from me. (Or so he claims.)
I'm selling for $50 shipped. This is not a big commitment.
I've been playing "40 dumbass questions" with him all damn week. They're injectors. I pulled them out of a Millenia. They're $50. Buy them, or i throw them out. I really don't give a berkeley, just stop wasting my berkeleying time.
He asked for pictures, i sent a picture of them. They're still in rails, because for the $30-$40 i might get after shipping them, i'm not going to bother taking them up to my shop to remove them out of the rails carefully without damaging the seals. That's your job, buddy.
"Can i get a closer picture?"
A closer picture of WHAT? They're berkeleying injectors. They're in berkeleying rails. I berkeleying pulled them out of a Millenia. They're berkeleying $50.
There's a definite rift in the community. I HATE dealing with the 2nd gen owners.
If this were a 1st gen owner, the conversation would have gone like this:
Dude said: Hey man, got injectors?
Me said: Yep. $50 shipped to your door. here's my paypal address.
2 minutes pass...
Dude said: Ok, paypal sent, thanks!
In reply to Swank Force One:
Hey, I'm looking for some injectors, can you take some pictures of the pintle with an electron microscope?
How about an X-ray?
Right. I don't know what he wants. He's clearly not intelligent enough to know what he's looking at, so what will more pictures do for him?
I ran two days ago and my calves still feel like they got ripped in half
Probably wants to see the part numbers on the side to ensure they are what you say they are along with being a complete 'tard.
Dear Dad,
Stop pressuring me to relocate to where you are at. You are the one who is unemployed and decided use inheritance money to move away to buy a house in an airpark in another state. I'm sure I would like it there, but my fiancee's and my careers are the first priority. Stop saying that because she currently is able to work remotely it means "she can work from anywhere". You are causing me to get grief at home.

The Millenia rails they're sitting in are easily distinguishable from KL rails.
Iono. He seems to have left me alone now. Maybe he read my rant.
Or maybe when i told him that i wouldn't be the one removing the injectors from the rails he decided he was too lazy to do it himself.
Holy crabcakes! When did it become so hard to sell a car on craigslist?!?
