If you make a decision that requires action, but don't take said action, you haven't really made that decision.

Guilty as charged.
Half of this page is why I bought a set of tires machines and change/patch them myself.
Yay.
Something that was supposed to be simple and fun got blown up and berked up and now it won't be fun any more.
Let's not and say we did.
CIT130, Information Technology Fundamentals. Taught by a professor who graduated college in 2011. In 2011, I was 17 years into my professional career in IT. For this class I have to watch videos about what a video doorbell is and what web browsers do. I want to grab her by the lapels and scream, "Do not quote the dark magic to me, witch! I was there when it was written!" or whatever the actual quote is. I hate that I'm paying money to have this child tell me E36 M3 I already know.

I had occasion this week at work to address two very young engineers who are arguing over which was the tin man, the cowardly lion, or the scarecrow by saying settle it among yourselves, I just know I'm the berkeleying wizard.
It's great to see old things reused- like a hotel redone and rebranded. But if you are going to do that, at least make it much more obvious that you are trying. Paint splatter and covers that don't actually cover drywall edges really look bad.
Especially when the rebrand is supposedly one of the higher premium in the hotel range.
And maybe more than a small couch all by itself in a suite room?
This is so very underwhelming here.
Today I woke up with a Brooks & Dunn earworm.
I am not a fan.
It was 22° in my garage and -5° outside this morning when I left for work at 6am. God dammit I miss working from home.
Trick questions on exams.
Yes Polaris, loosening the bolts on the final drive -technically- lets it move away from the mount point but when the question is about belt adjustment "Allows for belt tension adjustment" IS the more correct answer.
Stupid shenanigans keeping me from getting 100% on the test.

Recently I had someone young explain how I was doing something wrong in the lab with a kit. I wrote the original documentation and testing for the company that developed the kit over two decades ago.
I literally have the original manuals with my name in the references still. He was not correct.

...and now you're pissed off at me for something I didn't cause.

You sure don't want to write the millwright exam then

Have you heard of CLEP tests? CS chair scoffed that no one ever passed them and I'd be seeing him in his intro class soon. Sucker.
You guys ever take an FAA exam? Its reading comprehension. They don't give a berkeley if you know how to fly.
In reply to Appleseed :
I took Canadian Aviation Regulations. It's open book, they just want to be sure you know how and where to find the correct information.
If you fail that, you have no business doing anything but sitting in a dark room, watching "Ow, my balls" and 'batin'.
I can't share a ton of details, but I just caught a GC on a job trying to snow me into paying for a large rework of a system my company installed. The other GC tried to blame my construction practices as being deficient so I would have to redo everything and pay for it myself.
I came back by citing appropriate code and specific allowances, which shut down that argument. However, I really don't like that underhanded nonsense and it's super stressful.
When near Detroit I like the Holiday Inn Express near the giant Uniroyal Tire on I94.
The large Roush plant has nothing cool in the lot and Ford has nothing either but some truck with a tarp on it.
Disappointed in Jack and Ford today.
Me: "Would you like to watch a show? Maybe [this one] or [that one]?"
Wife: ::Vague non-commital noise::
Me: ::Finishes a snack::
Me: Okay. Well I'm going to play my new computer game.
Wife: I thought we were going to watch a show?
Me: You didn't seem interested!
Wife: Let's sit and watch [this show].
Me: ::Sits Down::
Wife: Walks into the basement and starts doing laundry.
slefain said:slefain said:2025 can already berkeley right off.
After much thought and deep contemplation....I stand by my original statement.
Apparently I must have agreed to roshambo to start 2025, and 2025 is going first.
Yup, 2025 can still berkeley right off. Another day, another expense that can't be put off or avoided. Just digging the hole deeper. So much sunk cost everywhere that only needs little more money this time. Something mandatory for school, or kids activities, or the house. And it has to be paid because 90% of the money is already spent on it, but not paying throws the whole thing out. Damn if you do spend it, but more damned if you don't. berkeley.
It's cold here, by local standards. I own a nice pair of insulated leather gloves and can't find them to save my life. Rant one.
"Maybe I left them in the truck", thought I, and went out to check tonight. Didn't find the gloves, but did discover a puddle of suspiciously greenish liquid on the floormat. Rant two.
The heater core is in the engine compartment. Surely it couldn't have burst and leaked uphill to the interior. Right?
Ordered something Sunday night for delivery the next morning at an Amazon locker. Got there, door was jammed, couldnt pick up
Didn't have time to deal with calling customer support. Went to work.
Stopped by after work. Called and 25 minutes on the phone with customer service to find out the locker is damaged and I will be unable to get my package until a tech gets there at an unspecified time.
I can't get a refund until a technician gets there and looks at the locker. but I can't get my package till its fixed. So. $70 in limbo till.... whenever. Thursday if nothing else, then they will automatically assume I didn't pick it up?
berkeleying washer is frozen. Genius teenager first switched off the space heater for the laundry room/her closet, but also never actually plugged it in either.
Just add insulating that room to the list of E36 M3 that needs done this year, with the deck, the windows, the chicken coop, getting septic sucked out, replacing the oven, fixing the gutters, replacing the busted downspout that goes ??, Redigging the garden, and the list goes on forever but the money never comes.
Oh cool, a water leak on the main because the tapcons holding the bracket on pulled out of the concrete.
Virtual school hasn't even started yet and I'm so over today.
Last Wednesday, a contact of mine reached out for my availability for a meeting one day this week. I said I could make Monday or Tuesday happen. It was understood that I'd have to rearrange my day to make sure I could attend.
Radio silence. Last night at 7pm, I get an email invite for a meeting scheduled for this morning. No, that's not how this works. Then I get shock and disappointment I can't make this meeting today.
Bonus rant. I hate dealing with people who are 100% unreachable all day everyday. Then, they start sending late night emails and get pissed off I don't respond or jump at their request. You're the a-hole. Not me.
You'll need to log in to post.
