Bits of Randomness

I'm getting more motivated at work. I have ONE script that needs debugging... in a language I don't "speak". This is actually fun.

The car place still has my car. Had to skip the gym this morning for lack of car. It @#$ing well better have air conditioning when they're through with it. They replaced nearly every part in the A/C system just weeks ago.

Quote of the day: "WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra."

So, about the car

I dropped my car off late Friday night to be serviced Saturday morning. They kept it until today. Get this:

They. Don't. Know. What's. Wrong.

They recharged the A/C and couldn't find the leak. To be fair, I think they did try... but when this is the third time in a row I've brought this car to this place and had a repair either NOT DONE or NOT SUCCESSFUL, "try" becomes a poor choice.

Now there's dye in the system; when it fails again, as it is expected to do, they're hoping that will pinpoint the leak. Fine. My only question to myself is how many more times I'm going to be willing to go back to this place in the hopes that the repair will eventually materialize.

They did fix the headlight I asked them to fix. I could've done it, sure, but now that's one errand I won't have to do.

They didn't scrape the glaze off my brake rotors, as I asked. So they're one for three.

What makes this all especially annoying is that this place used to be good. It really did. I have a ten-year history with them. Only in the last year have they started to be such incompetent lazybutts. I'm thinking of sending a brief outline of my service history to the manager with an explanation of why I can't justify continuing to give them my business.

It's sad when a good place falls down.
