Not a great day for the mighty 4drmadness

[4drmadness]

Hey guys just wanted to share my day with you guys. This is one of the days i would like to forget.I finally got my adjustable endlinks and was very excited to put them on. I go to my favorite mechanic to put these on. My mechanic seemed very puzzled and had a lot of problems taking out the endlink. I helped him out and he finally took it out. So when when he was puttin on the adjustable one, he f**in overtightened the bolt and broke it off. he told me he would buy me a new bolt from home depot. I was like your not gona find the bolt there. he was like trust me, and i was like w.e. so he goes and picks up a bolt which looks kinda similar. turns out that it doesnt fit on my car. i was like man just find me the same bolt and i will come back on tuesday to put it back on. so i had one oem endlink and one adjustable one on my car. I start reversing and i am pissed. i dont care to look back and suddenely i hear my car hitting something. I hit a toyota camry. dont worry, a really old one. I run out to see the damage. My bumber looks to be in pretty bad shape. some scrapes and primer is showing in some places. After a couple seconds, my bumper comes back out. i was like thank god, i dont have to call a dent removal guy atleast. the camry was fine. Now i go to work. I work at a asian restaurant. there was a big party order, and the bill came up to like $150. some co-worker decided to have fun and added a bunch of stuff to the order, so the order came up to $210. my manager blamed the $60 dollar loss on me. He gave me a last warning and was like im gona fire you if you mess up again.. When i was leaving, i had to put back the wine bottles in the cabinet. i had like 4 bottles in my hand, and suddenely i slip because the floor was wet. two bottles come crashing down and hit the floor. restaurant smells of kendall jackson chardonnay. im super pissed because my ankle hurts.

Just wanted to write all this down. Sorry if im getting a bit emotional. im just pissed because nothing seems to be going like i want it to. Nico feels like home so just wanted to share with you guys. thanks for listening. uve been a great audience. i need to grow up.

Sorry that I don't have an award for you, but you win the 'had the worst day' contest!!

Time heals all, it will get better! Try to keep a positive attitude!

When I feel down I make myself go work out. Beating the crap out of a heavy bag usually helps me!

Dear 4drmadness:

I am sorry to hear about all the mishaps you have exprienced on a single day. Have you ever heard people say, when it rains, it pours? You will be fine. Judging from what you have said, I think your faith and character is under some severe test. By faith, you will have to beleive that all be well, and that these incidents are ephemeral. By character, you will have to show steadiness in attitude and integrity. The fact is that your car is generally okay except the endlink, your boss probably spoke of out of the emotions of the moment, and another girl will come along to replace in your heart the girl you thought you liked.

If your faith wanes, and your character sags in this moment of test, then you have allowed yourself to be defeated. And so, how do you deal with bigger tests that may come in the future? The truth is, you must stay strong, focused, and determined to continue to stay successful. We all go through these challenges every now and then. You will be fine. Just beleive it.

Ugh, that sucks dude.

Don't worry about the girl, just go ask her best friend out. She'll come around! haha

How the hell did he over-torque those endlinks and break the bolt? I hope for his sake that he can find a bolt to replace, but I doubt it. He's gonna have to replace that.

Sorry to hear about your crappy day.

As far as work, I'll say the same thing I tell my employees. Always strive for 110%. There are so many people (I'm not saying you) that show up to work, and do just enough work so that they can keep their job. I have moved up to a really high position in the company I work for, and it's only because I never stop trying to be the best and have the best and most efficient department.

Your boss sounds like a douchebag. I have a guy who is a total screw up. It's not his fault. It's mine. That is the hardest thing about management. Learning to accept the fact that if someone has been making mistakes, you either didn't train them well, or you are not giving them good guidance along the way.

As far as the girl, **** her. There are so many women out there it's unbelievable. You have a sweet car, and a good personality. The combination of both of those should score you some A+ tail.

As far as the car, that sucks. At least the dent popped out. So a little paint and you'll be good. Remember as well, it's just a bolt. It can be replaced. Your car will be right as rain on Tuesday.

To make it even worse, the girl i like finally told me that she is not interested in a relationship right now.....

It could have been a lot worse.

Just Imagine if you were married to her.

She not only would never let you forget your bad day but would be bringing it up at every family gathering forever.

Consider yourself lucky

Telcoman is right. As always, telcoman sees things from a pragmatic perspective. Well done.

Sorry to hear your trouble. Maybe it is time to sit down in a quite place and think about where you want to go from here. Since it looks like it would be a great turning point/start over. See what you come up with. Find out what makes you happy. What job you always wanted. Think about how you can achive to get the job and go for it. Do your best and a little more to make sure you are the best at it.

Girls hm.. My father told me once. Never run after a girl or a bus. Next one is around the corner anyways. It is so true.

[joe603]

It always could be worse...I'm just glad you're ok.

[4drmadness]

hey guys thanks for the responses. its made me feel much better. this day has taught me a lot, and has been pretty hard to digest. Overall, im more prepared for things now.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

I think it's all good, girls come and go, (thank God) And so do careers, jobs, and dreams.

Perhaps Zozo has a good point, maybe you just need to re focus your energy, find what you enjoy, and excell...

[Jacko3]

I love this bunny

Take this: "The beautiful ones are not yet born". How about that? Remember, that when next a female tries to dis you. Just laugh and know that a better one is well on its way to your doorstep. If she doesn't think much of a guy with a G today, she probably won't think much of you 20 years from now.

Oh, so you know, I once had an ex who left me, and today, she will do anything to call me and speak with me, and yet i don't give a rats a$$ about her. Simply leaving me was a huge sin to begin with.
