I think she's probably just hoping that you'll make some good money. Healthcare is a good way to do that. Don't worry about it too much - before I finally settled on teaching, my folks were really sketchy about the other stuff I thought of pursuing. And especially now that I've gotten into foreign language, they've quit buggin' me.

Well, it's not like I'm going to drop out of school and become a hippy. I'm aiming to become a police officer. It's a respectiful career, yes?

Yeah, I'd say so. Well, then, if you're planning to be a cop, maybe she's worried about your safety. She wouldn't be the first mom to do so.

That's a little bit ironic. I tell my mom whenever I go out that "Unless the cops come knocking, I am ok."

Freaking car. Either my alternator or my battery is dead. Gotta get it fixed. Money-sucking car.

Well, try this. Try to jump the car, then let it run for a while. The alternator, if working, should recharge the battery a bit. After letting the car run for about...20-30 minutes, shut it off. Then try to turn it back on. If it works, then it was the battery. If it doesn't then it might be your alternator.

Yeah, I tried that, and it died instantly. So I looked at the battery, and it's like 6 years old. So I replaced it, and then had them check the alternator. Alternator checks out fine. So as long as I don't have a short somewhere that's draining the battery, I should be good to go. My hope is that a cell just went bad because of how old the battery was. That means I shouldn't have any foreseeable repeats anytime soon.

Well Racer, when was the last time you had the wires checked out? Maybe it's tme for a tune-up.

Also, what kind of car/year is it? You said that it's a six year old battery, so I assume that you're driving a kinda old car.

You know what's annoying? When you see that you made a mistake in a post right after you hit the submit button.

I'm proud to be Tim Capsuke. It sounds like an all American name, it does.

Wow, that was almost a month ago...

Anyways. I hate the people on MySpace who go around begging for comments on their pictures or on their profile. If I really wanted to, I would be doing it right now, wouldn't I?

Or the ones that always say "I look like such a dork" just because they want you to go "Aww, no you don't, you look awesome."

We'll tell you how good you look if we want to, not because of some wierd reverse phycology stuff.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Many times I have found myself in that situation. Many times.

Peeve: People who shut the bathroom door when nobody's in there, so I have to knock, then listen for any reply, then knock a little louder just in case they didn't hear me, then listen again, then open the door really slowly just in case.

I usually keep the door as far as it can go without being closed (So it's a crack open, and you don't have to turn the knob to open it, you can just push/pull) for that reason. I don't see why keeping the door open is such bad thing.

Chekt · **Posted:** Thu Jul 20, 2006 8:09 pm

i am talking about the doors being open while they are in them. stalls or single person bathrooms.

Yeah, that's pretty... weird. Those people shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

Reminds me of when my dad's alternator failed. We were stuck for like an hour. Then this nice policeman helped us out. We charged for like a half an hour to get to a station like 50 yards away. In the rain.

Needless to say, it wasn't an enjoyable situation.

Oh, I see. But my peeve is those bathroom doors that won't close. A lot of them are very poorly put together/put in, as the lock is just a bit off. One time, at school actually, the lock was a bit too high, and the door (not the whole stall) was a bit loose, so I picked it up enough to put the stick in the lock. When I tried to open it, it wouldn't come out, so I was locked inside the stall. Fortunately, it only took 2 or 3 minutes to get it unjammed, but I think I got lucky. Not gonna try that again.

ramrod · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2006 12:26 am

I have a couple of work peeves today. Four different customers came in at 6:25, just five minutes before we close and go home. So naturally my money hungry boss takes all their orders. Then, at 6:30, when one guy gets his food, he decided that he wants to eat at the front counter. Now I have to wait for the guy to finish and leave before I can clean the table and go home. When I asked my boss why he let that guy eat at the counter even though we're closed, he says "Because that guy comes in often." I just replied "Well, if he comes in enough times, shouldn't he know what ime we close at?"

So, I emailed my dad three days ago asking him if he could try to win an ebay auction for me, which ended at about 5:30 pm yesterday. I did this because I'm not good at ebaying, nor do I have the resources. I do have the money, however, and intended to pay back, as he knew very well.

So what does he do? He blows it off. Didn't even try. I even reminded him an hour or two before it ended, but he didn't even bid.

Dah.

I wanted that CD, too...

InterruptorJones · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:06 am

What's hard about eBaying? All you do is think "The maximum amount of money I can/want to spend on this item is $X" and then punch X into the form.

i really hate it when that happens. why did they put the lock and the latch at two different positions? attempting to close the doors at school results in all the boys being called in for a lecture from the principal about vandalism.
