Times Beena Movin Slow, Since We Both Got Here

I reported to work at 730 this morning. The car I was working on when I left was patiently waiting for me to finish it. I finished my inspection, put a new air filter in it, gave it a fresh set of wipers, preformed an oil change and put 2 new tires on the front. This took me a leisurely 1.5 hours. I didnt work on a single car the rest of the day. I spent the next 6.5 hours looking at tools on eBay, eating lasagna and smoking cigarettes. It was a very slow day. Very.. very... very.... slllooooooowwwwwww.

Youre Beautiful, Youre Beautiful.

The bottom line is theyre blue, fire retardant and have my name sewn into them. Im loving it... Thats right, my uniforms came in today. I dont know why its such a big deal but it is. Perhaps its because I dont stick out like hemorrhoids in spandex anymore. It might be the fact that I dont have to wash them. But I think its the pocket. My first couple days sucked because I didnt have a pocket for my pen, little screw driver, tread depth gauge and air pressure gauge.

The Beauty of Grey

Today was my second day at my new job. For those of you who didnt know I left Sears to work at one of the local Ford dealerships. There are a lot of major differences. The most notable of which include, much better hours and I get my own bay. On the down side I had to purchase about $864 worth of tools just to have the minimum that I need to perform my duties every day. And in the 2 days Ive been there Ive used every tool I bought (or a part of the set). Also, Im not as busy here as I was at Sears. Fortunately my wage is based on how many hours I work, rather than how much work I do.

Gimmie Some Love, Gimmie Some Love, Gimmie Some, I Want You To Know

2 stupid bloggers made similar resolutions at the beginning of the year. They are following through on these resolutions to different degrees. In late February Shedu and I settled up on our tibs. Since then neither has been tibbed for blogger lag. Well Ive tallied up the tibs owed for the months of March and April. For March Shedu gets to tib me 4 times and I get to tib him 10 times. For April he gets to tib me 2 times and I get to tib him 14 times.

Theres something the rest of you tibbers might want to keep in mind. If you blog, you are entitled to tib Shedu or I also. Youll have to count up the tibs owed yourself but you are entitled. I would like to add an addendum to the original resolution though since I dont see some of you for 6-4 months at a time. All tibs expire after 3 months.
