I need to stop being lazy and get my extended rear studs on the car. The Rays make it seem sketchy-ish but theyre still good. Although i plan to get some 5mm spacers, maybe custom 8mm ones to have them sit a little more flush, and to get some extra track width out of the rear end.

Getting ready for another 7-7 ,,,hopefully more prepared. We supposed to do this through about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I hear the wind whipping a little outside & beginning to rain a little at times.

Coffee tastes pretty good with a peanut butter sandwich.

I think if you your part to eliminate stupid, then your chances of bad things happening is significantly decreased.

Mini rant. Someones trying to start unneeded drama at work. Tried going the long way around to tell my boss that i basically haven't done anything today, i.e.... try to get me in trouble. I keep a log of everything i do, as does all the software i use to test / change stuff on the units.

Basically send a nice big spreadsheet of the items, with serial numbers, time stamps, and actions changed ect in an email. Come Monday im curious to see what happens.

Im a pretty lax dude for the most part, but crap like this gets me tilted. Once i find out who did it im going straight to HR and filing harassment. If i wanted drama like this id be in college, not working at a medical device company at my age.

You guys ever have to deal with BS like this at work time to time?


Rant /end
