What is it?

My guess is an Audi of some kind, their digital dash is basically a smartphone itself with amount of crap you can customize and display on it.......and thats on top of having the infotainment system that is also like a smartphone.

So 2 smartphones in your car!

Well, it also has a stupidly long name. So a deep breath, and here we go. A Mercedes A250e AMG Line Executive, the saloon version.

I was originally thinking about going full electric but bottled it.. I then ordered my car, it took an age to arrive due to the worldwide chip shortage. In that time I was kicking myself for not going full electric..

I'm kinda enjoying the electric mode but the range is circa 40miles which is not long enough..

Today I learned that I can take an entire work week of back to back calls before I start laughing crazily and making strange noises at the phone before I answer it so my freakout doesn't leak into my support.

TIL how good it feels to work the system in using PTO strategically. I requested 4 days off and ended up getting 8 simply because I request at the right time due to a DONSA and the connecting holidays.

Touch screens are dangerous in cars.

So this is my first year with use it or lose it pto. It's kind of stressful figuring out when I'm going to be able to peace out for the rest of the year. It's somewhere around the 21st or 22nd. But that depends on what I have at the end of the current timecard because I have some hours I can make up.
