I started my job Tuesday. Today got raped by the proby officer lady. No bueno.

Tomorrow back to hell. Fucking commuters stopping by with 200 degree oil I gotta change. Also, I'm easily a foot taller than all the other lower bay guys...I'm gonna bust my head open soon, just wait. Gotta get outta there. My first day, most of my training was over in a matter of 2 hours. So I'm def showin off. I guess 3 weeks ago they hired some uti kid who couldnt figure out how the ratchet works.

Ok, I know I'm late to this glass cleaning party. Here is my technique. I use Invisible glass with a waffle weave glass towel to clean the glass. Then I got some glass buffing towels to buff out any streaks. I got the buffing towels at AAP. I am going to switch over to sprayaway glass cleaner, I think is a little cheaper than Stoners.

Yessir. It'll be only about a 25% pay cut from my old job since I can work an extra 15 hours to start. I'm doing really well at it all, and am almost done training which us a pretty big deal I guess. Most do two or three weeks and I'm gonna be done before end of next week

How're you my friend?

Wait, Jiffy Lube does training for a week+ now?? I worked for them out of high school for a few months and training consisted of a few hours sitting in front of a computer.

Well there's that bullshit, but I finished the first 30 day section already.

But, I mean when someone else follows you around and double checks all your work and shit. I'm in the lower bay soooooo they kinda need me to not fuck up lol.

Is your store a franchise or corporate store? I never had to deal with that bullshit.

I've been great, Sean, thanks for asking!
Glad to hear things are turning around for you. I'd LOVE to see your next build, man. If you haven't already, you need to check out the RX-7 build thread. Thought you'd enjoy it.

Scrapes and burns are part of being a MAN!

Austin is coming tomorrow morning, we changed the plan since I have a garage and all my tools here. If we get a chance, we'll do rolling shots so I cleaned my car and did a coat of Z2 that I'll let bake overnight. Haven't done that in YEARS.

Thanks AUSTIN for the rolling shots. Love them and they're the first good shots where you can see the wheels spinning.

Anil, I think what you're pointing out is the important use of punctuation there.

Meaning:
Those are beautiful guys
is not the same as
Those are beautiful, guys.



Catfisha, thanks man...either way you might have meant it. LOL. I swear, only in this thread!

Thanks man almost gives it the effect of a rig. If I get a new camera body it'd be MUCH easier to do that. They swivel screen is a huge help for stuff like that.
