finally finished that side job last night. profited 430, which came out to be a little less than $29/hour, all profit, tax free. plus they fed me dinner and a couple glasses of wine every night i was there . i could have made an extra $200, but i'm a nice guy and it was for my room mate's grandparents so i couldn't con them out of the money. anyone else would have been duped and i would have been that much richer.

You could always turn to drug sales. I hear cocaine is still doing good against meth.

i haven't even begun to get my tax crap in order, well i kinda started, but it's half-assed right now.

*for the record, i did not do anything for "assed" to not be censored. the filter doesn't catch it if mr. bean ( ) desires to change that.

So Sears has screwed me out of my engine splash guard. A ~$300 piece.

I went in for an oil change, since I don't have a place I can do it myself and it was raining at the time. Originally they tore it to get to the oil filter, not bothering to notice the screws on how to remove it. I didn't notice it until 4 days after the work, when my friend asked me what was underneath my car. I look to see and I see the damage. In several places it's hanging about an inch off the ground. Well by the discovery time, Sears was already closed, so I decide to talk with them 1st thing in the morning.

Later that evening, after hours of gameplay on GOW2, I decide to go for a bite to eat. I forget about the damage and drive out to the next town over. On my way there, I didn't notice the road debris until it was too late. SMASH! There goes my splashguard.

I go back to Sears, and tell them that they've removed my splashguard and never put it back. They denied that they removed it, which is true, but they did damage it to where it was ripped off. They are going to replace it, but with a used piece.

WTF? A used piece? WTF are they going to get a used piece? Some poor sap that doesn't know they had a splash guard in the first place? Anyway, this happend a week after my birthday, and it's suppose to be replaced by now. f***ing Sears.

i spent it on hookers and beer.

that blows to hear, john. it's reasons like that that make me glad i have the space to do all my own work. and if i ever need to bring it to someone, there's only one garage that i trust to work on my car and not screw it up.

Yeah it does. I don't even know what to do. Basically, they have me by the balls since I can't prove anything.

But at least I'll have a splashguard back.

I don't even really care about the splashguard. It's the fact that they have lowered my cars value by that much, by doing this to me.

That is a fake cat. A real cat would be eating that bird and attempting to hide it in it's owner's shoe, not dancing with it.
