Anyone else up for a baseball cap, instead of a beanie? Need to get 12 orders for a batch, at $20 per. They'll be stretch-fits, so S/M or L/XL, but any combination of sizes is ok, so we don't need 12 S/M and 12 L/XL.

Ironically I could have use for a cap so consider 20 back your way from my end and I'll get it from him locally :v:

Critical acclaim for this year's top contender at Cannes Film Festival, lndie smash hit sensation "14 INCH's matin apr鑚 le jour de la mort"

Appearing out of nowhere on the worldwide film scene, this emotionally charged tour de force presented in two acts challenges the viewer to redefine their system of beliefs, to ask how much one man is able to handle on their own. Critics refer to it as "startlingly vulnerable, imminently relatable on a human level so rare to find these days." The Seattle Times describes it as "Haunting, a tragic journey of self discovery." Rolling Stone says simply "Jesus Wept," with the rest of the entire page left blank. The film's detractors christen it with terms such as "Disgusting and exploitative," while the top comment left on YouTube after the film's cryptic ARG style trailer leaked in pieces went viral nearly two years ago describes it "it's like if John Waters and Larry Flynt had some hosed up baby and it grew up feral in Mogadishu, but for like three hours straight force hosed into your eyes on repeat." With a sound track featuring the much anticipated joint project between ICP and rock icons RUSH, one thing is for certain. This movie will leave you asking questions about morality and decency for years to come.

Well I'm currently having a smoke waiting to see if I get sent home regarding the exchange I just had with my service advisor regarding the first act.

This loving piece of poo poo was taken in for a "running rough CEL on." It took me almost ten minutes on my now I'm going to actually follow through on the full paperwork and testing procedures to actually do this loving job right because this isn't even the first bucket truck this motherfucker took in I lost my rear end on, it's the second one now. It would literally die every foot or two, idle between 100-900rpn, die if shifted in any direction from any point in the PRNDL, found 13 seperate active or pending codes ranging from Schroedingers Stoich up there to multiple misses to coil failures on a Triton V10 with spliced harness pigtail repairs everywhere and both head gaskets leaking, and he asked what my official diag results were and told him he needs to relay that sheer volume of info to the customer to establish an attack plan or escape route. I also said if for any reason I need to pull plugs for checking into the misfires, that's up to ten seperate trigger pulls on head removal Russian roulette on a vehicle both should come off anyways, and he confirms with so you haven't diagnosed anything beyond that and I say yes, and he literally picks the phone up from in front of him where the customer was on hold and suggests 10 coils and plugs because the technician wasn't able to verify entirely but it's good preventative maintenance anyways and we should see how it runs next. Hangs up and turns to me.

I want to say that you guys have seen me get squirrely but even my wildest Internet meltdowns barely reach a 5 on the scale I have known I am capable of. Most people have heard me get loud and angry before, but in the past five years two people alone have heard me just barely tap a 7 and legitimately yell at them instead of just increase volume.

The one and only time I hit ten, involved attempted vehicular homicide that was never actually reported due to the fact I missed my coworker and hit the shop wall with a customers truck instead of turning him into a smear, and then couldn't catch him after chasing him 4 blocks with a 4 pounder ball peen, leaving the shop, being talked down by a crisis line, overdosing on cocaine and then after the hospital having a court ordered 72 involuntary and like 6 months of 40 hour a week IOP visits. Sort of right around the time I no longer had Lowered Expectations.

I just hit an honest 8.5 on the Dickchtor scale.

And they just elected to inform me that I was also an hour late to work today, being scheduled for a single weekend day an hour earlier than normal, even including the fact it was also simultaneously on the day the clocks change, after 9 days off in California, after about a 4 or 5 month stretch of starting every single day at 9 am due to the only one single request I have ever repeatedly made as far as being able to keep track of a consistent start time in the morning because sometimes it's difficult for me to loving wake up and have to gamble whether or not today is that one single day they decided two weeks ago to shoft.you an hour plus or minus, and feel like it simply being on a posted paper without any heads up is notification enough of the change, and last time I missed that hour was written up because "every time we do this you still shoe up at 9 so even though you keep asking us to do one minor little thing and either highlight or mention the one odd day out on the wall in the back room we would rather right you ip for attendance than do any thing that actually requires more than hitting the print button. So I'm thinking odds are solid there's probably going to be another write up waiting tomorrow once all things are factored in

I know previous attempts at embracing the situation with black humor wound up going a hair too Kauffman for some poster's enjoyment so for the purpose of clarity a rare serious post on the matter. Due to accepting that I was un fortunately dealt a poo poo genetic hand, I know that even in best case perfect world scenarios my mind will just sort of eventually decide to shift it's input parameters and not give me a heads up, my absolute best case scenario is management and avoiding most with eventually having to perform triage on a situation to prevent it all going up in smoke if my brain has decided actually riding that comet all the way down is way more fun at that time. It makes it incredibly difficult to take on risks, mass changes in stress levels such as gambling over whether or not the stress of risking not getting paid at my thought it was going to be better new job is worth the absolutely increased risk at loss of control of things. I am cluttered and chaotic, I'm not the most socially acceptible person I know, so honestly the best thing for my continued stability is to bank on less success but more reliably stable than chance for more advancement with those dice roll modifiers taken in to account. It's a serious need to weigh known risks against possible rewards. And at this stage of my life, in the economic position I'm in, an industry change would more or less put me straight st the bottom of the unskilled no degree labor pool that is currently such a lucrative market, and I really can't find the risk to take on the classes and costs involved in changing that when I'm already feeling as stuck where I am now.

There's a reason I keep coming back,and it really is because they keep letting me come back. It pays the bills and I hate it but I have a roof and a car and am thankful for what little I do have and can manage to keep.

You gotta either have an offer for at least 1 year of employment with a Canadian company or "Hold certification of qualification for that trade from a Canadian provincial or territorial regulatory body."

I think in some cases they're supposed to charge you the fee on the new tire whether they're disposing your old one or not... i.e. paying for the fact that the new tire will someday need to be disposed of properly
