What a shitty week...
So on monday after getting back from a 3 week vacation i went into work to find out that me and another person were laid off. They shut down the service department in our office and being that my position as IT Administrator was only part time (the other portion was service) i was laid off as well. The service manager and president who i report to directly didnt even have the balls to come to me in person and tell me, The president took the day off and the service manager went back to his east coast office, they had our accounting controller lay me and our other service engineer off.
So not Im job hunting, luckly im finding a lot of interviews so i shouldnt be without a job for very long, Plus im sure i will be makeing a lot more then i was at that place, so fuck em.
Well, now that i am out of a job its time for people to start paying me what they owe me for work done to their cars.
I did a Clutch install for this kid before i left for vacation, it was the biggest peice of shit job because the car had been sitting for a YEAR, so everything was rusted. The TO Bearing went THROUGH the pressure plate. So needless to say it was very much under priced. I gave the kid a really good deal on everything. I think i charged him a total of $200 labor. I replaced the clutch, Throw out bearing, CV Boot, and took off his flywheel and had it resurfaced.
He comes to pick up the car, we take it for a test drive and im noticeing a LOUD grinding sound when he spools, I can totally tell that it is the turbo, but he says that it was doing that before the car broke and that he has a turbo to replace it. I check the turbo for shaft play and its grinding against the compressor housing. I warn him to watch his oil pressure because that oil seal is shot and to limp it home until he can replace the turbo. He says ok and tells me that he is short $180 bucks and that he would get me back at the end of the week. so i let him take the car because i thought i could trust him.
The end of the week comes and goes and i call him up and he says he needs to talk to me about something and that he will call me back. He never does and I am like fuck it ill go on vacation and deal with this shit when i get back.
I have my buddy who hooked me up with this kid call him, he tells my buddy that his car didnt make it all the way home that day, and that the oil drained out and the car started making a knocking noise and that it was MY FAULT!!! Now im ready to kill this kid, Anyone that has done a tranny replacement or clutch replacement knows that you dont touch any of the oil lines, you dont need to.
Well now i have to play bill collector with this fucktard and try and get my money out of him. I have two things that are with me on this one.
A) I have the key to his aftermarket lug nuts for his Aftermarket rims (forgot to put it back in the car)
B) We know where he lives and his car is not garaged.
Whatever shall i do.....
Anyways, what a shitty way to come back to california.

Re: What a shitty week...
But yea, that sucks man, just get the money, not worth it go fuck up his shit, but stealing the rims would be funny as fuck, prolly worth way more than $180 on MNSC.

Re: What a shitty week...
Thats a big 10-4 on the Shitty Week!!! Not to rain on your shit but thought I would rant here too. Monday Blew the turbo in the dump truck I drive, and to top it off work all around has been Shitty slow for me, no money comming in. Had to go to the F---ing DMV for an endorsement on my CDL hazmat, I failed haha 2hr's well spent in Anoka just to come out of that hole in the wall and find some dumb F---ing non speaking english dumbass parked all but inches from my whip and put a F---ing dent in the drivers door. So I climb in the passanger side pulled out and stopped got out took a closer look at my ride even more pissed the dent looks bigger, so I put my foot in both his doors and took his passport he droped when he got out and threw it away hahaha made me feel a little better, that was just monday. F---ing Tuesday comes around I get a phone call from Catilpillar, we are having problems with the truck maybe longer before I get it back just my luck right after I hang up the phone I get another phone call from my dad I need to go to my storage locker and get all my car parts out cause I get the pleasure of moving my sister out from Blaine back to Maple Grove, no problem I go to storage get my parts put them in the car roll down the windows and on my way home well 2 blocks from the storage locker it starts to rain I roll up drivers side but NO go on the passanger side, well horray its raining in the car now, at this point I just dont give a flying fuck anymore and went home put her in the garage before it got really bad out. Yeahhhyyyyy for Wensday 6:00 in the goddamn morning I wake up to the loudest f---ing hindu music comming from the new neighbors next door to me, so I get up go out side my Apt and beat the shit out of the wall ajoining them and Slam my door waking up I'm sure the whole building, and after that the damn phone rings and It's Cat again with part of the bill $5,000 and climbing I say whatever just get the fucking truck fixed and I hang up. Noon time I go outside to the garage to fix my damn window and my garage door is all fucked up like someone tried getting in but could'nt thank god, at this time I'm so goddamn pissed I'm going off on everyone mom, dad, brother, sister, and my poor girlfriend, everyone is telling me to call the police and I'm screaming Fuck that I'll handle this shit my way, whoever tried to get my shit better watch themselves cause if I find who did this its go time I'm talking a month or two in the hospital I dont give a fuck how old you are. So 2:00pm rolls around and I've been on the F---ing phone all day with Cat, my broker, and friends and all the while trying to get the F---ing window to go up, frustraded and pissed it took me till 7:00pm. So after that I decide take her for a spin, just to get out on the Blvd and I blow the goddamn plumming off the intake no biggie just had to pull over in a parking lot put it back on, well guess what along comes a cop to give me shit for not having a front plate, I give him some bullshit story about it how it fell off due to my crappy bracket. He told me I have a very nice car and he was cool enough to let me go, Thankyou mister officer man. I was supposed to go to CubFoods and get some thing's but just said fuckit and went home. Cant wait for Thursday's festivities.. In conclusion I feel your shittyness Tom.

Re: What a shitty week...
Things are looking up though,
Today at 2:30 pst i have an interview with a tech placement place that has a couple jobs he wants to show me. One of them is a Cisco Network Admin that pays 101,000-125,000/yr and another one is a Network Administrator that pays 76,000-100,000/yr. So hopefully i can land one of these.
Maybe this was a good thing...
