How do you feel today?

[Menolly]

*No, it's not actually fat. I know. But it IS large for my size. Shut up Jen. Or Cyndi. Or whoever else might try to correct me.

You go tell 'em! (Um, I'm not sure why I'm in this conversation.)

Jeeze! Even I'D wear that.

Egad. That is not the image I want in my head before bed.

Sheesh, I was gonna say, for a skinny white girl you gots some bod. I never fit in traditional sizes. I am wide waisted and I got's lots of booty, even when I was 120 pounds I still had ass for weeks. It's hard to fit girl bodies, they are all so very different. I wear men's jeans as I find that women's are too tiny in the waist and too roomy in the hip. If I get women's jeans to fit my butt, they have too much saddle bag room and they pinch in the waist. Mens jeans are usually a little loose in the waist but infinitely more comfortable.

i want to hear more. i love hips. frank black said - i think -
'hips like cinderella."

wrote hips as ash puddles because of that.

[Waddley]

Yeah, I can pretty much only buy jeans with stretch, because if they fit me booty, they're too big in the waist.

Thank God for the magic of stretchyness.

I love that all women have different bodies. We're all special.

Here Wadds, after our conversation about your skirt last night, I was inspired to change my avatar, so this one's for you:) Another girl with a little waist and enough booty to make her point:)

I feel very freaking annoyed and frustrated. Igor is being a dick today. My friend Paul brought his vw in for a check engine light. I wrote it up, listed the symptoms for diagnosis. Igor starts in on me about whether he should actually diagnose or just reset the light. I'm like, Igor, there's two hours worth of diagnostic time on the invoice, I need to know what's wrong with the car, we need to fix it and he needs to pass smog. THEN, my friend Tadd brought his tacoma in for a squealing noise in fifth gear. I assign the car to Yevgeniy and then they both come in the office and Igor is all upset about the brakes making the tiniest teeniest squeaking noise and launches into this diatribe about how he doesn't want Yevgeniy to drive the truck with brake noise. He's WAY WAY WAY overreacting and Yevgeniy and I are both rolling our eyes at one another but Igor is not letting it go and keeps being an asshole so finally I say, "F--k it, Fine, let him do a brake check and I'll get to call the customer and HAVE NO CLUE what is the cause of their complaint but have an estimate for something completely unrelated. That makes my job easy and makes me look professional to the customers." and stomp back to the office. I know he and his wife have been fighting and he's miserable especially because he feels like he has no control over things but seriously, leave it at home. Please Please, leave it at home.

Sorry to hear your having a bad day Jenn. I hope it gets better for you

[Cameraman Jenn]

Well, this is all on top of him second guessing EVERY car I have assigned out this morning so far. Anyway, thanks for the sympathy. I'll survive it but right at this moment I want to throttle him.

[thefirst]

Understandable, sometimes it's impossible not to let work get to you, especially when others bring their personal crap with them.


"Stress is when you wake up screaming, and realize, you haven't fallen asleep yet"

This too, shall pass......I know that probably doesn't help, but I had to try

[sgt.null]

i just spent close to 700 freaking $$$ for our car. needed a tow, alternator and some other damned things. it was money i was planning on fixing the plumbing with.

[Cameraman Jenn]

That sucks Sarge. Igor just came back in the office to tell me that one of the brake sensors was just beginning to touch the rotor, which means NOT a safety issue yet. Then he wanted to know if I would sell the brakes first and then could we diagnose the other noise complaint. I said, "NO, I want to have an answer for the customer when I call him. An answer that has to do with the customer's ORIGINAL complaint. The complaint he is paying us MONEY to diagnose. Have Yevgeniy put the wheels back on and test drive it." He started in on me about making extra work and I said, "And you demanded we do the extra work." He finally realized something cuz I almost saw a light turn on in his head because he stopped arguing and just went out and had Yevgeniy put the wheels back on.

you work with only russians? and maybe i should have had you pick up my car?

[Cameraman Jenn]

Yes, all my guys are Russians. I have picked up a few phrases and words since I started working here. They always laugh when I use them.

[Damelon]

Watch out what words they teach you, Jenn.

[sgt.null]

cool. when i worked at the chinese restaurant i picked up a few phrses. one day i had to translate between the cook - who spoke no english - and the supplier - who spoke a different dialect of chinese. it was strange but we managed to get the order out.

One of our first experiences in Manassas was going out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. We were highly entertained by listening to the woman at the counter speak pidgin Spanish in her Chinese accent to a group of Hispanic customers....

Jenn, if the guys laugh at you when you cuss in Russian, maybe this would be a good time to cuss at Igor in Russian...

Oh -- and sorry about the car trouble, Sarge. I hate it when I have to throw multiple hundreds of dollars at an inanimate object.

[Cameraman Jenn]

They don't teach me the good stuff.

[Wyldewode]

I only know goodbye in Russian. . . not much help.

I work with a Russian translator. . . I could have her call and give your guys a piece of your mind in Russian--for a fee. She's from Russia, so she'd say all the naughty words too.
