Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

They were only 20 bucks, but it's hard to find sunglasses that fit my enormous head that don't make me look like a 70 year old woman.
Yeah I look weird in anything that's not aviators and it's hard to find a cheap pair unless I bug my dad to check when he's at work (the perks of having relatives working for the military).
 
I broke-ish my sunroof on my car. I had the sunroof closed, and I was trying to close the insulated piece that is under the glass. When someone pulled out just a couple of feet in front of me. I had to panic stop, I ended up using both feet to stop in time... and I slammed the sun shade closed because of the stop. The shade ended up going past the catch on the sun roof.

So when I tried to close the sunroof, the shade would block the roof from closing. I tried shoving the shade back, and this morning I took a 2lb mallet to it, still nothing.

I finally call my normal, non-GM mechanic, and he said that is not the type of thing that they handle. So he referred a body shop to me. I asked them for a quote to fix it, and they had this tiny, old mechanic take a look at it. We futzed around with the roof and shade for about 30 minutes, then he just opened the roof all the way and pulled the shade out. So now I can close the roof before tomorrow's predicted rain, but I am going to have to put up with much more heat and sunlight now that I don't have the shade.

I asked the little guy what I owed him, and he just gave me a :thumbsup: and said, "Awe, just go on..."
 
My ex's brother came over to pick up her stuff and it just made me feel terrible. I had been doing pretty well but seeing this happen and basically telling him goodbye for life was just awful. I feel like I want to talk to her but I have no idea what I'd say and I know it won't go well. I keep going between wanting to get her to take me back, wanting to try to be friends, and wanting to throw her off a building. I know this isolation from each other is for the best but I feel so alone. I basically built up this life for 5 years and now its been taken from me.

I got a letter today informing me that I no longer have a job. Fucking wonderful. I'll have to take a job with the substitute company that's coming in. The pay will be less, and the benefits (which I really, really needed) are shit. Lovely

So...now I'm not sure what's going on. The company taking over only seems to deal with part-time, day-to-day subs, and I'm a permanent sub. I'm part of the building staff. The principals apparently just found out about this at the same time as the rest of us, and even they aren't sure what 's going on. So, there might be a chance, albeit a very slim one, that the form letter was sent out to everyone on the sub list, and wasn't supposed to go out to the permanent subs. The problem is that these letters all arrived on a Saturday, when everything is closed and confusion reigns.

Sigh...I'll learn more tomorrow or Monday. I spent the afternoon firing off applications for positions that would at least give me insurance. Cross your fingers for me, guys.
 
After six months at a new position in my company, I have now transferred back to my original department.

I've forgotten how to do my original job.

Well XFX says my video card is fine after "extensive testing" and blamed my PSU, saying 500W isn't enough. Even though by my calculations 350W is enough, and their own box says 500W.

So, yeah, I lost my job. The new sub company they want us to sign with offers shit for insurance, and basically reduces me to part time. That's how to thank a dedicated building sub who put in four years, helped the student rewards program, and volunteered his time to teach an extracurricular class.
 
Also "I swear I don't go to any bad websites! I just google for information on potential clients and click on whatever the hell shows up!"
That reminds me of an ex-president for a small company I used to work for, I was the closest guy to a tech support they had, "hey jay, can you like ehhh, fix this PC bla bla, story"

"no problem"

good guy jay right?

Spent 10 hours on it, cleaning the FUCK out of it, over 100 virus, strongly recommended a wipe, boss wants the saved pictures on it (remember this is like 2002), I create a backup, wipe, re-install and select the files to put back... let me tell you, it was a revelation.

- 14 year old son was into bestiality. His profile has a ton of it, he loved seeing dogs fucking women.
- I did not tell my big boss this info.
- Son was into script kiddie hacking.
- I definitely told my boss this, fuck this kid, told my big boss in his face, "this stuff sometimes work and fuck up other people's computers but a lot of times these are made by the real hackers and they setup traps for stupid kids like this and infect them with a ton of viruses and trojans, did you have any credit card info on this? because, I'd call and get everything changed."
- Worked like a charm, was given a full friday off for my help.
- Fuck that kid.

- Big boss was also big time into titties as well and I mean big, huge fucking folders of chicks with cups far bigger than D's.
- Most of these women were leaning, probably because of all that excess frontal weight.
- Boss's wife's pictures were found as well, she's hot as hell and has nice conservative C cup tits. Lots of lingerie pics. I may have kept a copy somewhere for later use.
- Did not tell my boss any of this.

- I may have had some recreation time on that friday off with my newfound secret.
