Doesn't that just make you just want to wait until they are on line for the meeting and then text at about 1102 that something came up and you won't be able to make it so they should reschedule?

It's one of the main articles here on CF front page. I don't typically read them, but this one caught my eye and my mom brain's attention.
B-52 has been in the air for over 60 years with no immediate plan to phase them out. Might have crew now whose parents weren't born before the plane was built.
Hey, I love the song Love shack as much as anyone else, but it’s time for them to retire if they are 70some and still singing it.B-52 has been in the air for over 60 years with no immediate plan to phase them out. Might have crew now whose parents weren't born before the plane was built.
They are just using the one Rulzzz started when he was sick, we're just riding it to the end of the season. It's the official Iowa State MBB Season Thread.
Brought my car in to the dealership for the first oil change, which is free, and I have the sales receipt that says so with me just in case. Requested a loaner car but they don't have one so now I have to sit here and wait. Hopefully doesn't take too long.
I had a bad experience at the dealership when I took my car in for its first service since buying it. I had already decided to speak to a service manager about it when the service guy went out of his way to find a way to fix the issue. I decided if I was prepared to go in and complain about it I had better be willing to make the effort to let the service manager know that his guy(s) did right by me as well. I spoke with him this morning when I took the car back in to get the fix done. He went from that look of "oh no, here we go again..." to relieved in a hurry. I told him how it went from bad to good and how I felt obligated to let him know if I was prepared to let him know when it was bad. He said that pretty much never happens. That is sad.
The dealership I use for oil changes is usually done in an hour. When things were normal I would get there at 7am and just drop it off and tell them no hurry as I could just walk up the hill to the office.
A good friend of mine had taken his corporate car to some random place to change oil. He hadn't had issues in the past but early last week on his way to work the car started banking loud noises and vibrating. Eventually the dash lit up with a message to pull over and turn off the engine immediately. Turns out what he thought was just a little oil dripping on his driveway was actually all the oil which had dripped out around an over tightened drain plug.
Yeah it didn't take long. My boss took his wife's car in for it's first oil change and they gave him a loaner so I just assumed I'd get one. Never have taken a car in for an oil change before so I didn't know it'd be that fast.
I imagine your boss has some sort of relationship with the dealership because I don't think loaners for an oil change is common.
Probably. Come to think of it I do believe he had something else looked at on the car so it took longer.
Good for you for doing the right, albeit rare, thing.
It's a downright balmy 14 degrees out right now. Of course looking ahead to the weekend, brrrrrrrrrrrr
They are saying if things go as forecast we will be 4 straight days without getting above zero degrees F in the Twin Cities for the first time in 27 years.

I taught remotely yesterday when my cheap car refused to start.
So, at 2:34 I get an invite for a 2:30 meeting about a major incident of which I had no part in. Screw'em, I'm not getting on it
