I arrived at BadYear this morning at a few minutes before 8am. I left there at 10:30. It turns out that my rear license plate light had burnt out. But, it's not just as simple as replacing the bulb. Nope, my Godfather Customs rollpan has a sealed light in it...so, when the bulb blows, you're screwed. So, the guy at BadYear jerry-rigged a little light up for me with duct tape so that I would pass inspection. That was a pretty nice thing to do, considering he could just have easily slapped a rejection sticker on it. It ended up being $10 for the inspection..and then another $9 to put that light in there. I feel violated. But, what's new? They really raped the lady that got her car inspected before me. "Ma'am, it looks like the rubber boot that covers your C-V joint is torn a little bit. You might want to replace that." Jeez.
On a happier note, it looks like we're getting out at 2pm today. YAY! So, my workday has been terribly hard: Come in at 11, leave at 2. I'll probably take an hour or so lunch here in a little bit. And then we've got tomorrow off, too. Not quite sure what I'll do tomorrow. Perhaps I'll install a new license plate light. Have a great day, everybody.

Posted by: jealous at April 12, 2001 04:25 PMNo, it wasn't crowded, but I still didn't expact that kind of courtesy around here. Listen to me. I sound old.
