the area around the starter motor is covered and it's running on the inside of the fairing at the bottom and backward and on to the rear tyre. :sweat:

Not getting your money's worth, service-wise. :sweat:

Getting to work to get my class lists in order and realizing that they've shut off all power to my office.

So now I can't plan because I don't know who or how many students I have. :shamefulcry:

You'll just have to rewatch some Proposal Daisakusen while you wait :beaten:

I kid, but hopefully the power comes back on soon. :victory:

Your post reminds me of a close friend who's teaching 2nd graders. The school year just started for him and he spent the past weekend just scrambling to make sure he's ready to go. Of course, once school starts, I won't hear from him until Winter Break. :puppydog:

Omg, it's been a year and a half since I joined this forum and I only realized today that I could click on the arrow besides the newest topics on the front page and it goes directly to the last person's post. In the past, I clicked on the topic and manually clicked on the last page and scrolled down. What a waste of time that was! :shamefulcry:

:rofl: I don't post much but I did that too. HAHA! It's ok. :patpat:


What bothers me the most are middle aged asian people or old asian people at McDonald's who get mad at me for not understanding them. Since I'm asian too they get really mad. I noticed that if the person taking their orders aren't asian they don't show that they're annoyed or pissed as much. This is me when they're mad. :ohcrap: I need a new job! ASAP! GAH! COLLEGE HELP ME!

Not having to deal with the general public is one of the reasons I chose engineering. :beaten: :sweat:

I said no pickles on the Big Mac! I want a refund. :beaten:

At a job like that you're bound to deal with people who will annoy you. Just comes with the territory sadly, but I guess it does in some odd way help you deal with people. Keep looking around for another job, perhaps apply at places you think you might like working at while you hold down the fort at McD's against disgruntled old folks. :sweat:

lol, yeah it's my first job. I'm still working there. I started my junior year of high school. I've gotten better with customers, but the old asians don't like me. HAHA! Some of the customers can be really nice though. Some can go to hell.

Since you're Asian, I suppose they expect something more, like genuflecting or laying down prostrate... :beaten:

It took me a year to realise that if you clicked where it says "Feature Artiste" above the picture of the, well, feature artiste, it takes you to a page that lists all of them :banghead:

No idea! I tried to call the custodians, but none of our extensions from last year were working!

I had to run a TWO powercords to the next room, and finally got the compy on, only to realize that they had reset the network username and password. So, I tried to call the tech guy... but of course, the extensions weren't working. :mad:
