I was so desperate I not only started reading Airliners.net once again, I almost, *almost* made a post there. Let's pray I never get that low again.

I'm unemployed again, and I've been amazingly productive in my job hunt without the forums to waste time on. I realized that call center work isn't for me. It took me less than three days to start contemplating suicide. I've got an interview for a service advisor position tomorrow, but I'm worried that being young and female is going to work against me because people won't take me seriously.

Unless they are interested in taking care of their car, they won't take you seriously. Just have some vague idea of what you are talking about and be confident enough to not be a complete introvert and you will be fine. Good luck! Edit: Jesus, it has been ten years for me too.

Although I've only been there once I was really happy with the young female service advisor at the Mazda dealer the other day. I might not be the average customer though, I guess.

It's good to have the forums back, but seriously there were some gem posts on the Facebook group with SA down. I found myself occasionally checking car specific forums a few times and without AI to dilute the stupidity I found my tolerance threshold was even lower than usual.

I can't recommend this procedure as removal of cats from modern vehicles is a violation of the clean air act, but it did improve acceleration somewhat. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152964471053345

Can you buy packs and gift the terrible parts to someone else? looks like i'm going back in the hospital for a while. At least i got half a day warning this time. Going in with 2 laptops, and 4 TB of various forms of entertainment this time.

Isn't recycling it generally free these days? It seems wasteful since there are secondary uses for it. In my neighborhood they'll take up to a gallon a week with the garbage pickup, I don't even have to make a special trip or anything.

In my neighborhood they'll take up to a gallon a week with the garbage pickup, I don't even have to make a special trip or anything. Most any parts store (Advance, Napa, Autozone, etc.) takes used oil for free, at least stateside. (I think they are required to by law at this point.) Antifreeze and other fluids however...Let's just say that those aren't as easy to get rid of responsibly like oil is.

goatse guy posted:I'm unemployed again, and I've been amazingly productive in my job hunt without the forums to waste time on. When I took my car in for the infamous death GM ignition recall, I went in a tank top, shorts, DC shoes, and hadn't shaved in days. It was supposed to take 45 minutes (yeah, right). Took 2 1/2 hours. Got to talk to several bored sales guys (weekday during working hours). Two of them invited me to apply for... service advisor positions. Another suggested I apply for a lot porter job (which, apparently, pays $12/hr at this lot). They had several female SAs as well. I was honestly hoping I'd get to deal with one of them instead of a Good Ol' Boy, but luck wasn't on my side.  I decided not to apply when I read through the application and saw that they require regular drug tests.. I like my  too much. Also most of the sales guys were sleazeballs who were trying to talk me into at least a test drive despite me stating several times "my reported income last year was under $20k and I'm underwater on my loan as it is, why the gently caress would I want more debt?".Mat_Drinks posted:It's good to have the forums back, but seriously there were some gem posts on the Facebook group with SA down.
