Well, my efforts have paid off and today has been a good day. We had an excellent case review meeting, and there is enough money for bills, bonuses, and payroll. The office move will happen Jan 4. And my accountant says my 2018 taxes are projecting lower than anticipated. I hope you are all having a good day.

Good on you!
I got really good tex-mex for lunch, and all I had to do was provide my professional opinion. That’s a good day in my book.

Pretty crap day honestly.
‘07 GC 5.7 that I was waiting to hear back from the dealer on setting up a PPI on sold out from under me. Possibly dodged a bullet, but given I was planning to uplift to the late-08 OLED IPC from the VFD , it could’ve been a steal.
‘08 GC Overland 5.7 (the Holy Grail) “mechanics special” dealer trying to play games. The code they claim does not prevent smog pass. Is it so fucking hard to just copy the list of failures off the inspection sheet to make a sale? Assholes.
Of course, the display on my DRB-III crapped out. So now I have to find a replacement part or a replacement unit. And of course, DRB-III’s are getting both expensive and hard to source . And had to once again remind idiots that only the DRB-III can talk to the DRB-II systems I work on .
GM dealer assigned the service ticket to an idiot who just said “can’t reproduce.” THERE IS A REASON I WROTE A WHOLE PARAGRAPH EXPLANATION. Take your goddamn eyes off your cell phone and your idiot’s guide to diagnostics, AND READ THE DAMN REPRODUCTION STEPS.
Got a tentative CTH
offer on a halfway decent role
taking over from a guy I’ve worked with before so walking in to a nice stable setup.
S
o of course the new
recruiter that took over for my old guy
neglected to tell me it was a 1.5 hour commute, they run a 4x10 shop not a 5x8, minimal to zero
WFH,
or to actually find out if they were willing to meet my rate on CTH versus straight-contracting. All things that are
clearly
noted in my file there
. They didn’t even come within spitting distance of
the Double-Secret I-Really-Like-You-Guys-And-It’s
-100%-Remote rate.
And then said recruiter says “well blah blah the rate for sys admins.” At which point I’m honestly kind of going “did you read any of my file or my resume?” Just so much facepalm. This is exactly why I don’t like them changing people on me.
Oh, and my laptop is still broke waiting on somebody at Dell to stop playing their bullshit games and sell me a fan . Fuck you, Dell.
