Dad's Toy, kids get it when I die.

She's stuck with the mini van for the first year, after that maybe her own car.
I know its cruel, hey, vans were cool when I was a teen. This one does have all windows, no privacy.

Duh, they don't know how to refill the blinker fluid. I bet their muffler bearings are shot too.

I had something do both - one of my troublesome sales reps decided to light some candles in her cubicle...yeah. Our office uses a water system for most of the office, but several rooms have FM200 systems. Yeah brilliant idea.

So why does this make me smile? Well one more screwup and she gets the boot.

Two days ago, the company I worked for went boom! I'm not unemployed. First time in my life I've been laid-off, so thought, "What the hell? Let's go get some unemployment." Met up with a few other friends who got laid off for some good cuban food, and went to the Dept. of Labor.

Despite a huge line, I think we were all pleasantly surprised that the experience was rather fast, the people working there were friendly and helpful, and none of the usual dread one faces with bureaucracy were present.

Amongst the group, I'm probably the leftist -- I'm all for government that provides a valuable service and is accountable to the people. The experience, much to my surprise, tempered some of my friends' views. I was prepared to leave with a renewed anarchist spirit. But, similing in retrospect, it was all good.

Wouldn't a discharge of the system cost a crapload of money, not to mention disrupting work for a decent amount of time?

But seriously, candles in a business environment? Who would think that's ok?

Reminds me of the car commercial where they put scented, relaxing candles in a car and the camera showed each passenger sleeping. Then the camera showed the driver sleeping.
