-woke up to snow. Which continued for most of the day.
-Resurrected the WehrWagon (complete with Jalopnik sticker) for consumption by the ex. Who was snide about it, until realized it was A) free B) 50 bucks a month to insure C) actually damn comfortable D) smooth as hell to drive, and brakes EXTREMELY VERY well due to hydroboost (GM might have been on to something there I think). And E) when the ex is done with the wagon I offered to buy it back for the value of whatever they put into it for tires and maintenance etc.
-poked around under the hood. Need to do valve cover gaskets and the oil itself is blacker than Satan's taint. Otherwise, pretty solid. Found out the aftermarket rear air bags will hold air! Promptly raised the car several inches from drop. This wagon don't stance.
-Had my trainee show up on site today and tell me "Aren't you just a walking narrative" in a derogatory way as I orient him to the site. Then proceed to tell me he doesn't like it on site and needs to send more resumes out. I'm not confident if he realizes that I am actually his super and can (did) have him terminated. Fuck you, buddy. Next please. Don't tell your coworker you need to keep looking for jobs because one coworker will make that a reality. And DO NOT be that poison guy who makes everyone hate their job by being openly negative. No time for it.
-fixed other people's fuckups. Work order said DVR not staying on post key off (should be t+ 15 minutes). Last contractor wired ignition AND constant to ignition. DUH.
Also used shitty butt connectors and didn't shrink em. One tug and they let live bare un fused wires out. Fire hazard.
-organized my work van. Last guy left it a mess. And I hate it when my my office is a mess. On a related note? The 2013 or so Caravan is a well sorted hauler with decent looks.
-enjoyed a nice dinner.
-read oppo.
-and now, lights out.
Congrats to the dude who is newly single, and the dude who is newly not. You're doing better than I am.

Snow...
In September.

I love snow, but at least let it be December before it starts. Late November at the earliest.

No, its too early to think of snow.
Also WTF, some newbie acting like that?!
Wehrwagen is a good name for that beast. (or even Kriegsmachine in the same vain)

Tell me about it.
Tried to get my Alberta license and insurance but don't have proper proof of address because I just rent a room from my cousin so I don't have any bills, the letter or employment I got wasn't on proper letterhead and they wouldn't accept a void cheque, so after three trips back and forth I have to go back and try again tomorrow. Le sigh.
Good news is though, inspired by your 'NOPE' plate, I think I'm going to try and get 'SOON'.

I'm glad you terminated dat fool at work!
Let me guess...millennial entitled to the world. Why is my generation so goddamn dumb?
Congratulations (or not) on joining me on being newly single. That's never particularly fun, even if it was a hard relationship.
I am going to get the test light this weekend. I've been so busy lately with everything, the rear defrost has literally been the least of my problems.
I definitely hear you on moving to the south, I was thinking North Carolina would be a good spot. Still seasons, but not like here or Calgary? (wait are you calgary or edmonton?) where winter is 6 months of the year, and you get weeks at a time below -4F/-20C. I heard eastern north Carolina gets only 1 or two snowfalls per year. I could eel with that easily.
Cool wagon, not sure if I had seen it before. I wish my ex gave me something as cool as that!!!
