Topicless thread

Today at work was the Employee Satisfaction Survey; where they gather our opinions on the workplace and such. Thanks to it being confidential (Being sent to a 3rd party to compile the information), I ripped my boss a new one when it asked about what I though about him; hopefully, my coworkers will do the same so maybe the higher-ups will consider replacing him.

Also, I found a GED practice test last night, which I did some of last night. Of the two categories I'm finished with, writing is the one I'm going to have no problems with, while I may have a few problems with science (I did get near-perfect scores, but I could use a little improvement). But, once I'm finished with this practice test, I'll see where I need to work on and go take some classes to grind for the final boss fight; which, if I pass, will close the book on the first phase.

@stew: My dad already said that if I don't want that Dart anymore, he'll gladly take it, since he actually likes it. Of course, it doesn't give him as much trouble as it does for me; it's left him stranded a few times, but not as many times as it did with me (It actually made me late for work one day last year, but at least the boss I had at the time understood and let me stay an hour late to cover for the delay)

@pentium: what would suck is if you were late now.
and with all the nerds here, whatever subject you're not strong in, there's likely to be a specialist here. :3

i wish i could vote in eurovision, but i forgot to watch yesterday ;^;

Yeah; I don't think I'd want to know what would happen if I showed up late with the idiot I have for a boss now.

Chocofreak13 · May 11, 2011, 06:32:06 PM

best to put it out of your mind, lest you stress :\

Nichi · May 11, 2011, 07:20:48 PM

Yeah; must purge that from my mind. Must think happy thoughts...

*Thinks of a Dalek rolling in and exterminating my boss*

Darn. The Dart is one of my favorite cars of all time. That and the AMC Matador.

Chocofreak13 · May 11, 2011, 07:37:49 PM

this is my car. -w-

I like the Volkswagen Type 2 (VW Bus) T1 and T2. .w.

@stew: It was one of mine, because the '70 Dart my dad had when I was a kid looked and sounded awesome on the street, and kicked ass on the track. However, mine had kind of ruined that for me becuase of how many corners my dad cut when rebuilding it; as a result, when I hear somebody mention a Dart now, I no longer picture the Mustang-eating beast of a car that's awesomeness was only surpassed by the Viper, but instead a half-functional piece of shit that everybody thinks is a Chevy Nova

@Choco: That looks like the car my mom wants

@bell: but volkswagens are so expensive when it comes time to replace a part. :\
@pentium: yay? :\
and it sucks that he cut corners. he might as well have skipped all the time and effort and just sold the dart for parts and bought you something newer, like a chevy nova. :\

i wish i had a car D:

then i could put all sorts of things in it >3>

'cutting corners' reminds me of a friend who repaired his Chrysler La Baron coupe by bolting the seats straight to the floor.

Nichi · May 11, 2011, 08:47:06 PM

@Choco: The only reason he didn't part it out is because apparently it being triple black (As in, painted black with a black stripe and black interior) is unusual; making it worth more than a plain Dart. If it wasn't for the fact he probably wouldn't accept, I'd see about trading it straight out for his Ramcharger; which runs a thousand times better, has a CD player, and has a working air conditioner and heater.

Chocofreak13 · May 11, 2011, 08:52:46 PM

@pentium: start saving? :\
@zen: cars are nice sometimes. i slept in a jeep filled to the brim with all sorts of stuff once. :3

@Choco: At one point last year, I did have the money in-hand to get a Plymouth Neon I found locally; which was running, but needed a few simple things done to it before it could pass inspection. Unfortunately, my dad was not interested in taking me over to get it because he saw it as a waste of money; instead insisting I wait because something better may turn up. Granted, I got that '94 Spirit a few days later for free, but he hasn't done anything to it.
