That's right Scraps, I'm planning to be retired a long time.
Incidentally, dad still has a job. He drives around "old people" from a retirement home in a shuttle van! |

I am continuing my restoration of my camper, using dad's tools and the skills he taught me. R.I.P. Donald Archer Leete, 1926-2013 I lost my dad at the age of 42. I was 6. All I got to keep were just a few memories. May your dad rest in peace. |

Why did they make, and why do they still make ice makers that make cubes in the shape of 1/3 of a circle? The worse shit ever. No matter how you shake the cup around, they turn sideways and conform to the shape of my cup and block flow of liquid! I'm thirsty, and this solid water is going to cause me to die of dehydration! I guess maybe square cups are the answer.

WTF has happened to MiataTurbo.net?
On the 'new posts' page, we have Electric Superchargers, roids, lambo doors, and strokers. |
Roids and strokers sounds about right to me. Not sure what's up with Lambo doors...
|
So... Two dimensional vectors, huh? Apparently, I'm in over my head with this latest white paper.
|
Aren't they all 2 dimensional? Are you talking like this: Wolfram Demonstrations Project

My 7m is built though, its not the 80's stock POS.
Pulled a 520 whp on the local dyno jet, so im guessing 460hp. The 1jz has no ECU, but has a harness. My friend has two of them he keeps around for car skating blow ups. |

Fuck AT&T. Not only do they have shitty services, but they suck as a company to their employees and prospective employees. They treat my mom, an employee of almost 20 years, like shit, and they fucked me out of a job. I took my time to go jump through all of their hoops, pass their tests, ect., just to be shot down because my "recruiter" couldn't be bothered to keep in contact with me for the 3 weeks since I passed my electrical test. I was only able to get her via email once, and I asked for her to set up my drug screen. After several weeks of playing phone and email tag, finally I get an email, a generic, automated email saying all vacant positions had been filled. This fucking bitch couldn't be bothered to do her job and get me set up for a drug screen, so now I'm fucked. Thanks you dirty whore! :fael::vash:
Oh well. Such is my life. I fall into shitty jobs that I hate, and miss opportunities with good ones that I could probably keep as a long term career. |
If it makes you feel any better, I canceled my ATT service last week cause they are shit.

Become a mechanic, and experience true sadness; and also incredible joy. It can really suck dick though, if you have shitty customers. /whyileftmyoldshop tangent Hopefully I'll be making $200 a week more, while doing less grunt work. :dealwithit: |
After 6 months as an audi tech and dealing with those customers I GTFO'd all the way out of that field completely.

Have you considered the possibility that they filled the job with qualified candidates? Perhaps you were sent through the interview process to meet a quota, or as a "plan b".
