The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXI

Spoiler

yup... 13 years now.... ~45k mile a year on the ride just back and forth to work. I have 383k miles on my current car that I bought new in 2011

But the silver lining is that I sure do know a lot of songs...

Might be an opportunity for you to go in and ask why you weren’t considered for that job. If it’s something you really want you can ask what improvements you need to make to get their. Just be prepared for hard truth if there’s a reason they don’t consider you. It could simply be you do the job to well and they can’t afford to have you not doing it.

Oh and don’t take the responsibilities without the pay increase or you’ll get fuct forever.

That’s brutal. We once had a guy that did about that much. I couldn’t handle another hour a day in the car.

Well it came up... I'll have to elaborate later. Running to lunch.

About 28 miles for me each way... but thanks to Philly traffic it takes about 45 minutes to drive in and 1.25 hours to drive out. /sigh

I was spoiled at my last job - 6/10ths of a mile. Now that was an awesome commute. But I sure do like making money!

Totally agreed, with 1 caveat - if the increased responsibilities are skills you want to learn to transition to another job, it's worth the temporary pain to take them on. Just don't be afraid to market yourself elsewhere once you have those skills.

Yup. If they want to train you and not pay you for the new value, then you are free to take those talents to a competitor.

WTF makes it a ‘Nismo’ oil filter? Same engine, same filter. Of course I use the filter from the Pathfinder cuz it’s an inch longer.

the difference between the nismo filter and normal nissan filter is it flows better, filters better, and decreases chance of oil pressure loss.

just different internals im assuming without ever cutting them open.

i paid the $29 up charge on my first Z1 oil change kit because it was my new toy........that died quick when i was buying 2-3 extra quarts a change to make sure that 34 row oil cooler had enough juice in it lol

I actually didn't bring it up in the meeting they called with me and the other AP veteran. The other AP did and asked on my behalf and they said they might not be filling a lead position now, just regular working bee AP. I didn't ask because I feel like they just don't want me in the position. So yeah...
