Many are in pretty dire straights since they are getting about 30% their pay on the "emergency benefits" in place and not the 65% they would on normal unemployment. Talking to them and not being able to give them some hope is really depressing.

You wear a lot of hats in a small company. We also make leaf springs for trucks so I get tasked with figuring stuff out. It's fun work to be honest.

I have had them for 2 years. They don't leak, but they also don't feel as good as they used to so I imagine the cartridges need replaced soon. I figured for the cost of shipping they might be worth using, or replacing the cartridges to someone. If no interest I'll toss them. They honestly probably still ride better then some of the crappy coilovers on the market that people buy.
i briefly looked into it. not worth the effort for me. but it's a nice consideration!

i'm really irritated tonight. i'm stuck on a multi-week job, so the boss tried 'delegating' my new work van up-fitting to 3rd in command, who's got 3 years experience doing literally everything.

you'd think he'd be able to bolt in 3 shelves and assemble a ladder rack, all with specific instructions. and you would be wrong. the 20 gauge steel shelves are now held together to undertake a 5,000 pound shear load like they're holding the van together. and the ladder rack, which has clearly legible part-by-part instructions detailing how to assemble 15 main components, has 6 parts installed backwards or upside down, and will require major disassembly...

so come monday, i've got to go over the how's and why's over half of everything he did needs to be done again.

and then i try to explain my trust issues to new hires

I saw what I thought was a mouse turd in my garage. Why would they be there? No food?

So I bought a couple traps today. Already got one. Shit. I'm going to have to put out a bunch of bait boxes.
