So due to bullshit reasons, I have a felony arrest on my record from years ago (was arrested for paraphernalia, I was "accidentally" booked under a section of the statute that makes it a felony, "intent to transport"; apparently I was trafficking a few milligrams of cannabis residue on the pipe. a single call to the county clerk got it bumped back down, which shows you how good their evidence was.) Which was holding up my college application status, since they ask you about felony arrests as distinct from the usual convictions. Well...   July's off to a good start, I suppose.

Oh trust me, even knowing the entire case history and the fact that I completed pre-trial diversion in 2009 (just before I reg'd here now I think of it), I was still sweating this up until I saw that email in my box. Don't break the law kids, but also gently caress unjust laws and DOUBLE gently caress rear end in a top hat county sheriffs looking to pad their arrest record.

I love how this online school orientation course has a whole video dedicated to teaching you how to get your username and password to log into the school's student center website... which you already had to know how to do to get to the course in the first place.

By biological imperative you're probably the least broken of all of us. I'm terrified that if I ever had a kid I'd turn them into another me (an act bordering on child abuse), but I'll be perfectly happy to spoil my niece while letting my sister raise her in a healthy environment.  Plus i'm 27, still have 2-3y of school left to even get my bachelor's degree, and haven't done any of the things I've been saying I'm gonna do even since I joined SA, let alone childhood dream stuff. I haven't even been to an autocross ffs. Or lived on my own. Or worked a job that nets out to being significantly better than being broke. I sure as gently caress wouldn't be good in a relationship with anyone, let alone raising a kid together (and given I have trouble getting out of bed some days, taking care of a child by myself is out of the question.) There's enough kids being born as it is, even a few million people going without won't make a significant dent in anything, and if anything helps prevent overcrowding in future generations.

If you work on cars for a living you will grow to hate cars. You will do oil changes that pay 1/2 hour whether they take 15 minutes or an hour because the last guy mangled the plug and you have to order a replacement (flat rate is loving bullshit). You will kill yourself trying to slap everything together at the last minute because "the customer needs it NOW i don't care that the parts truck is just now arriving". Depending on your state's safety inspection situation, you will periodically have to slap together the remains of what used to be a functional suspension/brake caliper and watch the customer drive away in their deathtrap, hoping to god the waiver you made them sign is enough to remove your liability in case it kills someone. You will work 40-50 hours a week, in sweltering heat, in an environment where you gradually turn your personal car's interior into a superfund site. E: And sometimes only get paid for 20 of those hours (flat rate is loving bullshit). Depending where you work you will be constantly pressured by management to upsell all sorts of services, replace parts on a store-dictated mileage interval instead of manufacturer specs, talk to customers face to face to explain why they need this $1500 of services they don't need, meet the same time deadline for a job no matter what unique challenges a particular vehicle poses (why yes, a dually with 6 150 lb wheel-tire assemblies takes just as much time to change tires on as a civic with 14 inch rims), get told to bend over backwards for customer satisfaction often at great personal financial loss, have to finance your own tools because lol we neither pay for your tools nor pay you enough to buy them outright (flat rate is loving bullshit) you get the picture. Get an old commuter car or pickup truck and wrench on it in your spare time, you'll get all the satisfaction with none of the bullshit.

Get 2 pair, though, I made do with 1 forever but it really is good to be able to lift all 4 corners at once. E: Actually looking at a few sources, the rating per pair means each stand must support 1.5 times the rating, so the 4 tons will be way overkill, rated to 12,000 pounds per corner, and you might have clearance issues depending how high your jack goes. You might wanna look into the 2 ton ones instead. Looking on the site it looks like minimum height is 10.5 inches for the 2 ton vs 12" for the 4 ton. Not much difference, but hey, every inch counts.

what the gently caress is in orlando? in my experience its all speed traps, heavily signalled grids, traffic jams, and a couple nice onramps that always have some bluehair that takes the entire ramp to reach 30mph.

Boy its great when you hit the sack at 11 cause you got poo poo to do at 8 am and proceed to lie in bed wide the gently caress awake for the next 6 hours watching the loving clock tick by. I got university orientation In addition/contributing to the problem, I've been craving a loving cigarette for about 3 hours now. I haven't smoked since January 2011 (barring two REALLY poo poo days at Sears, still a few years ago and those were one smoke each). loving nicotine addiction needs to gently caress the gently caress off.

Nothing like a fresh set of dry nuts to start off the day. deez nuts roasting on an open dryer (that sounds like ouch) in unrelated news loving poo poo eating cocksuckers* at my school don't recognize my loving ap calc credit from high school even though ive taken calc 2. and 3. and physics 1 and 2 with calc, and Statics and differential equations because I didn't pay the very special $25 to have college board send my OFFICIAL AP TEST SCORES (a piece of paper w/ a 3 printed in it) to them and having it in both my hs and community college official transcripts isn't loving enough which A theres no reason I shouldn't have known this before now except apparently while THEY can run a degree audit while im still in the mech eng "pending" track, I can't because gently caress me I guess, otherwise this thing (which takes up to 15 BUSINESS DAYS ) could have been taken care of in the 15 BUSINESS DAYS between me being accepted/registering for orientation and today and B even though I got overrides from department people to help me get into classes (one of which filed up while I was sorting this poo poo out so now I'm on two wait lists instead of one that's been full for a month and isn't semester critical), calc 1 is also a hard pre req to transfer from mech.eng pending to mech.eng active, which in turn is required for 3 of my 4 classes. meaning if that major transfer request gets rejected before the ap scores get there I'll be kicked out of those 3 classes, meaning I'll be even further back on the two wait lists, and possibly on a third all because they couldn't be bothered to say "yo if you took ap credits we need official records if that too, go here to send them" boy my university careers if to a great loving start huh *no offense to actual cocksuckers or scat lovers anyway I've been up like 3fucking6 hours at this point so im sleep

Enourmo posted:in unrelated news SO non-sleep deprived followup (I slept twice from 7 pm to midnight and 7 am to 1-ish, god I was loving tired yesterday) Those official AP scores? Since I took the test back in 2006 I don't get to use the online order form, nor do I get an option for expedited shipping. I had to fax my request form in and they won't let me talk to anyone in the office to make sure they physically received it in the fax tray, so I won't even know if it made it through until I call back Monday afternoon and get confirmation that it's been processed into the system. Meaning that 15 business days won't start til Monday, and it could be Friday the 21st before the school gets the scores. And classes start Monday the 24th. So basically gently caress me for taking the long route through school, and gently caress the college for not letting me audit my degree a loving month ago so I could have taken care of this beforehand. I got into the class with the short waitlist btw, but if the AP scores dont get there in time and they process and deny my major change before then, I'll get dropped back to "pending" and kicked out of three of the classes, two of which are at the beginning of a core class chain leading all the way to my senior Design II class needed to graduate. Meaning if I can't take them this semester, that's already delaying my graduation 2.5 years down the road, before I even get into the classes themselves. And the longer this all takes and the closer it gets to start of classes, the longer the waitlists will be and the less likely more people will drop out to make room. I'm already dealing with a lovely depression/anxiety hypercombo dealing with finding apartments near the school so I don't have a 30 minute commute/45 minute parking spot hunt (by all accounts that's how bad parking is), i don't need this bureaucratic horseshit on top of that. I've taken Calc 2/3, Physics 1/2, Statics, Statistics and Differential Equations, that's SEVEN loving CLASSES, that have Calc 1 as a pre-req. Anyone with 2 loving brain cells to rub together could surmise that I must have passed the class to take the rest of those, but nope, I get to play the waiting game and basically constantly hyperventilate until it's done with, because THE SYSTEM doesn't work that way. Oh and my mom is mad at me for being stressed out over this and daring to be mad about the stupidity of the situation, so gently caress me for being a human too I guess.
