Ughh, Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend

and I'm sitting at work and don't have the motivation to jump into anything. But I just know I'll get a request this afternoon for something that absolutely has to be done today since it's the last business day of the month.

And sure enough, the request just came in to fix a file that has to go out today! At least I was prepared and knew something just had to pop up.

That shouldn't be considered work for you, that's your everyday life

I ended up going in to work this morning for a few hours of unpaid OT. I guess it's not really OT when you're salaried. It was a wet morning so might as well get some work done. I made some good progress so it was worth it. Just got done mowing the back lawn so heading out in the boat soon.

Funny you mention that, I had some guy come in today looking for a bilge pump and or float switch... Um dude.. this is a CAR parts store... wtf would you do with a bilge pump in a car?

Unless its a 5th gen, in which case, being as it is a boat, a bilge pump would be needed for when the water comes in....

Actually, I need a new light pole. I shatter the housing last year with a stray cast. With all the rain last year, I didn't do much fishing and wasn't out on the water late so I never needed it.

I do love that, and they actually expect you to have it in stock.

My other favorite thing is when they say oh yeah its the same as a car 350/454/whatever piece of crap Mercruiser engine you have...NO IT ISNT, maybe the valve covers, but try to use a starter from a car 350, see how long it last with that sea spray all over it
