I LOVE golf... I'm researching clubs now because I desperately need an upgrade but just plopped down a big chunk of cash to protect my car's paint even further (already had opticoat).

Also makes good fingerprint dust. I can now see some passenger decided to put hands all over the roof then laid their entire arm on it. The dust has stuck to the oils from their hand/arm and made a good long print.

Lifting the prints now to find the culprit! Off to the Hawk Cave!

I meant to mention this earlier....it certainly does do a damn good job of printing.

I just hope it rains thursday.

Oh dear....

So there's a melting plastic smell coming from your car and it's been more than just the one time?

Today I finally got fed up enough with my boss to request a transfer to another section. I've had offers from every other section but I've stayed this long because I like working with the gear. There's four reasons for this really, my boss has been mistreating me using me to do much more then I should capable of time wise and training wise. The other guys have been taking credit for my work. My boss is an absolute idiot, honestly he's two ranks further then he should be and he couldn't organize a pissup in a brewery. And, I really do need to further my training outside of this one section. I've made a point of letting other guys very visibly fall flat on their faces, give it a few minutes and come by to pick up the pieces in an effort to let the higher ups know whats going on. But, I've recently learned where I'm ranking in this years evaluation and it obviously hasn't worked.

This morning I asked one of the other bosses if his offer was still available, he said it was. So I asked my boss and gave the excuse that I needed experience with more of the gear. In a matter of half an hour they talked, set everything up and it was done.

It worked better then I ever would have imagined. My old boss and my new boss setup the transfer, swapping me for a fuckin slug. My old boss and two of the guys in that section were visibly nervious trying to figure out how they were going to keep up with the work I was doing and how to do it. And, my new boss has already told the right people what the real reason for the transfer was, I doubt it could effect last years evaluations but atleast they're seeing it finally.

I get a couple days to give slugface a turnover. After that I'm working with guys that are already excited to have me with them even though they know I've never worked on that gear and I'm going to have a steep learning curve.

Today was a very good day.

I hope the dealership will at least be willing to give me 1k for it. 2002 grand prix gt in fair condition on kbb is 2k but at this point it has so many problems I just want them to take it off my hands
