The old apple joke....what's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding half a worm.

The majority of my bug in the mouth stories involve coffee.
Grab the moth, make sure the little bastard spits out the coffee he drank, toss him, and finish the pot.
In the last 6 hours I cut it left thumb with a bread knife, right index finger on a plastic wrap box, and then superglued my right index and middle finger together, all in separate instances.

That isn't supposed to happevery day?
Am I doing it wrong?
Tested for an ideal work from home gig making a bit more than I'm making now and getting told you won't be moving forward in the hiring process sucks, but not getting any info on whether I flubbed the personality test or practical application part of the test is just frustrating because I have no idea what I'm supposed to improve when I'm eligible to retest.
Plus, I'm constantly dealing with former SWMBO's mental illness and addiction issues even after moving out because she doesn't have a lot of people in her life who are there for her.
After delivering the Fakata F-Body Z28 to Legendscar95, I had to turn around and go back to give him the bolts and brackets for the driveshaft. Luckily I'd only made it about 8 miles down the road.
It's funny because we BOTH mentioned those parts early in the delivery process, when I tossed the driveshaft to him, and then we BOTH forgot about them. *sigh*
Can we be done with the wildfires now? It's not even fire season anymore, since when do fires start in the fall? Still no progress on the existing huge fires, and another berkeleying new one just outside Boulder yesterday. 0 to 7000 acres in an afternoon.
In reply to newrider3 :
When I was a kid that was the only thing we were afraid of out in Southeastern Montana. We were once surrounded on 3 sides of town by fire. The old man, my uncle and a bunch of their buddies joined the volunteer fire department (because there was nothing else to do) He said that if I tell you to go, wrap the kids in wet towels, wrap a wet bandana around your face, get in the Suburban, and go, foot to the floor.
That's some serious E36 M3 for a kid of 6 to hear.
Was just at an estate sale. Look, I don’t care how nice your E36 M3 is. It’s still being sold new. You can’t ask for more than retail new, and then get offended when I offer you a fair price.
It was Sunday of a 3 day sale. Looked like most of the inventory was still there. I saw 5 people enter and leave without buying anything.
Related to the wildfire rant, I am so ready to ram off the road and strangle the next motherberkeleyer that I see flicking a cigarette butt out their window while driving. You're already ruining your car and your health with that disgusting E36 M3, so why not keep the butt in your car in the ashtray or in a can or something? Please, please, don't burn my goddamn house down with your nasty flaming trash. Half the state is already on fire, we don't need yet another fire started.
2.5 hours so far for a Severity 2 incident for a down application and no resolution in sight.
Of course the issue didn't show up in their Test or UAT environments and there have been enough changes packed on that once monthly patches hit and rebooted the systems, all hell has broken loose.
Just sucks since we were having a productive day around the house and I missed out on putting the kids down for a nap.
I guess today was berkeleying miserable headache day. My sleep schedule has been all berkeleyed up due to changing shifts 3 times in 2 weeks and I finally got some decent sleep last night in preparation for my new 6am-2pm day shift schedule starting tomorrow. I woke up at 6am and had lots of stuff I needed to get done today. But I knew as soon as I opened my eyes that it wasn't going to happen. I could tell that I had the beginnings of a stay-curled-up-in-bed-and-hope-to-die sinus headache. I immediately ate 800mgs of ibuprophen and laid back down in the hopes to stave off the inevitable.
But no, its 14 hours and another 800mgs of ibuprofen later and I still feel like someone is trying to split my head open with an icepick.
I accomplished nothing today. I couldn't even eat anything due to the nasuea from the pain, except for some beef jerky about 4 hours ago.
What a wasted day

I can't count the number of times I've been tempted. I've had the drill on my lap.
In reply to Appleseed :
I'm seriously considering it at this point.
I started feeling better around the time I went to bed last night. But it came back while I was sleeping and I slept like crap.
I got up for work at 4am and my head was pounding again. It was so bad that I puked in the shower.
For the first time in almost 7 years, I had to call in sick. There is no way I can function right now.
I just ate another 800mgs of ibuprofen. This sucks 
Try excedrin migraine. Only non prescription stuff that remotely works on mine
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael (Forum Supporter) :
+3 for Excedrin Migraine.
You can mix ibuprofen with Tylenol too.
CBD helps my migraines a lot too.

If you're ever in that drama again, do 4 advil and a dramamine. It'll probably knock you out but it'll work. I learned this trick from one of my ex wifes doctors.
My boss at work has gotten really horrible about diagnosing vehicles by looking at the repair order and handing them to you going "Oh, this just needs a reprogram" or "Oh, this is probably a water pump" or "Oh, this is an easy one, you can make money on this one." He's always berkeleying wrong. Today I have a truck apart on my lift and I'm waiting for the customer to call back to approve the work, so he hands me an RO and goes "While you're waiting, here's one that you don't need a lift for, its a Cadillac with a pair of recalls." One recall is to remove the bolts holding the power steering motor to the rack and replace them. The other is to straight-up just replace the rear differential assembly. Uhh, I need a lift for both of these.
In reply to NickD :
I've worked with two kinds of service managers. Ones that have never worked on a car in their lives, and former techs who had an injury that prevents them from doing repair work.
All of the good ones were in the latter field. All of the former field were crap. The rest were ex-techs who sucked at either job.
In reply to stanger_mussle (Forum Supporter) :
Neti pot or a vacuum pump and some silicone tube, or a combination of the two. Both work wonders for cleaning out the sinuses and getting the crap moving.
I found cab corner rust in the truck. Dammit. I live in the south, and should not have to deal with that. Its apparently a E36 M3ty gm design on the gmt400 extended cabs.
Not the weld vs bond debate. Im leaning towards bonding. That way no risk of interior fire.
