Something tells me your parents weren't strict enough on you.

More than likely, battery.

Do what Saucy said. Also, if it passes alt test, hook up voltmeter after battery is charged and check the voltage drop when you start the car. Will be a good indication if you have a bad cell.

Well, an indicator if Crabbity-Crab had strictness in his youth is to ask the beat-down test...

Was he given a nice beat-down for anything less than 90% on a test? If no, he had it easy.

Recently I am starting to think the same thing. I'd have to be a crazy person to leave tho. I have a very easy job and make a pretty good amount of money. The reason why I hate it recently is the Federal Railroad Administration and my company has been super strict on rules at my yard lately. There was a fatality here last year so they are cracking down, and it makes it very hard to work wondering if you are going to get fined or fired. If they catch you with your cell phone on it can be up to $100k fine.

Is it the job itself that you don't like? Or is the the employer?

Exactly. I learned that back in my internship days. The first group I worked with was just horrible although the work itself was interesting. I switched groups when I got on board after undergrad and it's mostly now

I'm not sure what line of work you're into but maybe an internal transfer or sending a resume to a competitor?

For her first time out. She shot consistently above average. I was impressed. Granted it was a .22lr with no kick, she took to it very well.

Personal fine

In the past for rules violations they would fine the company. But the numbers are pretty high in our area for those, so they are gonna start doing personal fines for rules violations. Oh and there are THOUSANDS of rules here.

It's a mix between being the biggest railyard and having the fatality that are making them crack down.

I wonder what they pay anonymous whistle blowers to rat on rail employees who spend an exorbitant amount of time on a car forum while on duty on their smartphone.

You felt like the biggest douchebag to come out of Palistine, and quite arguably the biggest tool to ever harass a valet??
