And some people just don't like new people. We have a long time client that's notorious for finding SOMETHING to yell at new people about. Last week our new receptionist was trying to check her out and when she gave her the total she said "If you're going to live here you need to talk like an American!" (this new receptionist is from England).

You can't take it personally ...

And that's the type of BS I won't tolerate. You can either be respectful of all the employees because really I'd be in a deep pile of crap without receptionists and techs, or you can gtfo.

Totally agreed. She's one of those clients that I so wish would be fired.
 
Mechanic got my car all fixed up just in time for the move to Iowa! New tires, front and back alignment, oil change, tune-up, patched up a couple leaks, replaced the lost mirror from that small incident I had a couple of weeks ago, bumper repairs... it practically feels like a new car and I couldn't be happier, even if the cost was absolutely disgusting. 🙂

I've got to get this done to my car too. I've gotten so used to things being wrong with the car that I might need to break something as soon as I've got it fixed just so it doesn't feel "off" when I drive it.

I am exceedingly attached to my car (Hagrid) and often proclaim that he is perfectly fine. Fit as a fifteen year old fiddle.

And then I walk to my door, make sure I lean into it to disengage the unlock mechanism correctly (the door won't open otherwise), adjust the blanket on the seat because part of the seat warmers gets really freaking hot and additionally, there's a big tear in the seat, make certain that I have my automatic jumper box with me because sometimes he just doesn't work up the juice to start if I haven't driven him in a bit, turn the air on (and get blasted in face with little foam bits from who knows where in the system - oh and the AC doesn't actually work), and crap, did I double check that the part of the front bumper that likes to pop off and drag on the ground was correctly attached? Let me go kick that back into place. His brakes require enough force that I pretty much slam to a stop when I drive newer cars and haven't calibrated myself, and his antennae broke off a couple months ago somehow so I get only a few radio stations. When they're close. And there aren't too many trees or tall buildings. He also gets regular boluses of coolant and I have not a clue what he does with it all. Oh and he's a vw, so the check engine light is pretty much a staple.

All little things, none that are insurmountable problems, but enough things that my partner has been bugging me to get a new car for at least two years. But I'm legitimately going to cry when my Haggers finally bites the dust. 😢

Awww... well, I hope you and Haggers still have a while yet to go together.

Mine's a 1995 Oldsmobile Royale 88 (that's how you know you're a "cool" kid) that my grandparents gifted me. Really nothing wrong with it mechanically, less than 100k miles, and drives quite smooth. I think I lucked out on getting this car for basically free. I'm just hoping that it lasts through vet school; it's nice having a paid-off car.
 
The drivers seat in my boyfriend's car broke the other night and now we have to get it replaced... Some of the welding on the bottom just snapped. He doesn't like going to mechanics so he's determined to do it on his own but until then, I have to drive it to my rotation every morning. Oh, cars...
 
My A&P is going to look at one of the two planes I'm looking to buy on Friday! I can't wait to be an aircraft owner.

What's funny is the demographic for this specific plane is pretty much really old dudes. Any of the group fly-in pictures are going to be "So who doesn't belong in this photo?"

Ercoupe 415-C. History of the airplane is so cool. They used to sell it in Macy's after the war.

Just got an email in regards to my application for accommodation in regards to my migraines and NAVLE testing. It's overall good news and I don't know whether to laugh or burst into tears. I'll probably go with tears....

I wanna enjoy my birthday and thanksgiving. This bastard exam has ruined enough of my life. I'm not letting it suck out more joy than necessary :punch:
 
The NSDTR litter that I may be getting a puppy from was born last night and there are 7 healthy puppies! I am hoping that I am high enough on the list to get one, they're super cute and there is a huge Toller-shaped hole in my life since I had to euthanize mine in June. :xf:

I seriously want one of these breeds. I'm super jealous. Demand pictures if you happen to get one. Fingers crossed. :xf:

Also procrastinator, also took it D1. Best decision ever. While everyone else was still freaking out, I was done, life was good, things were out of my hands and I'd hear back in a couple months. I know myself well enough that the extra weeks weren't going to change how I studied for the damn thing, and I was on ST sx so my free time was already limited. Can't recommend more.

I hope so, nyan!!! Gender preference? Or just a happy wriggler??
 
Just got my grade back for my anatomy lab final and I did way better than I thought. Which means I no longer have to take the written final on Wednesday, so summer has officially began! :soexcited:
 
Two of my favorite wifi names:
Spaceballs! The Router
Huge Tracts of LAN

As for HP Wifi names that I thought were fun:
Floo Network
Connecto Patronum
Restricted Section
Dumbledore's Office (password: Sherbet Lemon)
 
Desk training wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be today. Still lots of big chunks of wasted time (turns out the training they thought would take from 9 to 11:45 actually took from 9:20-9:45 lol), but I got to see some old friends who were all really excited to see me, I got free lunch, and I get paid for my time.

But for real, I must have had at least 15 people see me today and stop to say hello. I felt very popular. 😀

One of my neighbors back home had theirs named Surveillance Van
At least, I assume it was a neighbor... 😵
 
First day of my externship resulted in 4 spays and 1 neuter! So nerve-wracking, but exciting to be doing honest-to-God surgery! And not totally sucking at it! Can't wait for the next 13 days!
 
There were some funny wifi network names around the complex I lived in during my last 2 years of undergrad, but most of them aren't SDN appropriate. 😛

I'm way too tired. For a moment I pictured desks in a train. :smack:
 
Someone in my buildings wifi is "I'm under your bed."

My friend suggested I name mine "I'm in your closest" so we can match.
 
My biochem final is over and graded! I made 83/85 points. 😀 I had a really bad first exam and started the course with a D. I've been trying to pull myself out of that hole all summer. Going into the final I had a 89.3%, and I had to get within 6 points of a perfect score to earn an A. This is a retake class for me, and I was trying replace the C I got originally. I was so stressed and spent so much time studying. Our last unit was metabolism, so we had two weeks to learn the citric acid cycle/electron transport chain/oxidative phosphorylation and carbohydrate/protein/lipid metabolism. I thought we'd be responsible for knowing all of the enzyme names and complex little details. Turns out I memorized the citric acid cycle for nothing. :yeahright: There were only two very simple questions on the exam from that entire unit.


Anyway, I kicked that final's butt and ended the course with 90.64%. I am pleased. 😀

In my previous apartment complex, there were only 8 units in the building. I wanted to name mine From Apt 9 but my network is hidden so was a moot point.
 
All of the other wifi networks around me have really boring names, it looks like most people stuck with the default. It was slightly tricky to figure out how to change it, but I was determined. I thought about going with some kind of Hamilton reference because I'm obsessed with the soundtrack lately, but all I could think of was "Best of Wifis and Best of Women," and I thought that was a little too long/obscure. 😛
 
SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY!!

My months in advance moving plans got uprooted so I had to scramble to find another way to move all my animals, an apartment worth of stuff, and the rest of my life to Arizona in less than a week. Decided on a packing cube, because it was cheaper than a uHaul. After seeing how small the cube was (nowhere near what was advertised), I proceeded to freak out because there was NO WAY everything was going to fit in it... Well, lot of stress and 4 hours later, my 3 brawny friends and I got it all packed! So all of my things are safe and sound and I don't have to worry about it anymore!

While I was away loading the cube, my other friend took my dogs to get professionally groomed to surprise me and so they're "all nice and clean" for the move. They look great and I'm so glad because I was dreading hardcore bathing them and brushing them out before leaving.

On top of that, I'm picking up my snake tonight from his babysitter's house since he's been there practically all summer. I'm so happy I finally get to relax and take it easy tonight after the past couple weeks of hell. Yay for being stress free and yay for great friends!
