Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

I enjoy how upstairs thinks ppl can parallel park... even though they can't even do it themselves.

Step two, connect my backup keyboard to my pc because I was using the OFT cable for my main keyboard, having lost the keyboard cable in the move. Done!

Step three, update the firmware... In progress...


When did this get so complicated!?!?!

Sometime around the mid 1950s

This was the cure all when I was a kid - never mind that you may not have had a cough -

I am thoroughly confused by your post.


My "new" engine runs much quieter. Curious what the insides of the old one look like. HP fuel pump is much louder on this one though

Somebody can't park?

As Chinese exports go, the AK-47 and SKS were not nearly as effective at killing Americans as COVID is.

We... correction, upstairs decided to do curbside pickup for patrons, which I'm okay with. IF & only if these are met.
1. We have enough staffs.. which we don't. We have less than 40% of staff working in my department, let alone, whole system, we have less than 30% of staffs are working.
2. Actually have legit plan... or get some feedback from staffs that actually have to do it. Instead of "Oh! ***** is doing it, so it'll work for us." 9 out of 10 times, it doesn't.
3. Don't make a procedures/rules that fits it all. Cuz every branch and main are different. They expect us to do EXACTLY as it's written in the procedures.

Especially #3. They want patrons to park their car (where the numbers are assigned) in parking space. From there, call us to pick up their holds. I work at the downtown (main) & all the parking space is underground. Sadly underground parking doesn't get no service. So they decided to used 3 parking space (which is front of delivery/unload zone), which require to do parallel park. Make things worse, it's downtown. Downtown parallel parking space is tight! I have seen good amount of ppl hit front or rear car while trying to parallel park that spot.

It's not gonna end well... so I replied to their all staff email "If you guys can't parallel park, how do you expect patron to parallel park?"

We'll see if I still have job on Monday lol

Being an outsider makes it easy to look in.

Disclaimer: Australia has it's own issues with racist cowards and weak politicians, but currently America is making Australia look like Shangri-la.

This dude summed it up nicely.

Well, I'd suggest that they just make ONE pickup spot out of that area.

Or make 2... leaving middle one empty, so less chance of wreck. Which ive mentioned in the email. We’ll see if they listen or continuous wrecks.

Only time will tell

Side note. Bought CF skinning Kit. Interested to try em out. & yes, I know skinning is different from wet or dry cf. I’ll get into that later. Gotta start from easier stuff first
