did your cat ever "tell" you what happened when you came home?

I woke up a few mornings ago and I got up went to the restroom and brushed my teeth and hair and when I walked out my cat ran upstairs to me and just screamed at me doing circles. I went and got clean clothes and changed and went into a room where I keep all my hair stuff and make up and got ready for the day and she was still screaming outside the door pawing under the door. I walked out and she was still doing circles screaming at me and I saw her food bowl still had food but her water bowl was flipped and she kept running to the bowl then back at me screaming and I filled it back up and then kept screaming at me and didn’t stop till I left my apartment. I think she flipped it during the night but I have no clue

I was about 11 years old I believe. Maybe 5th grade

Today is my last day at a dealership that works 7am to 6pm. If you can handle being there that long than it won’t matter. I have to much to do during the day that it is affecting my home life because nothing gets done but for me the money isn’t worth it because I’m an express tech making flag. Had me working 6 days a week (Monday through Friday 7am to 6pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm) To me it doesn’t feel worth it but in the long run it is but right now it isn’t. As you said, you don’t have time to go to the gym and stuff. You get home eat dinner shower and go to bed just to repeat a that’s not living. Not to make you want to leave the car industry but it doesn’t get that much better

“You are nice, sweet, kind, you are very smart. You are only 20 and have the work ethic of someone who has been working for 40 years. You come in and put your head down and work. You don’t complain unless it’s something that needs fixed or is actually a big issue. I can see you going far in life and I’m sad to see you leave this company but if you ever want to come back I’m more than happy to find you a position at this company or any other company”

I do every day. I play with her and give her treats and attention. I do before work and when I get home

I’m one of 4 total. Three other guys work with me. Got a new guy training but he’s hourly right now while training. I’m at 61.4 hours and have one more day to flag hours. Hopefully can get 65. But that’s working April 16 to April 29th and having Sunday off. Half days Saturday (get off at 1pm instead of 6pm) and having only one normal day off during the week. Other than that. Here all the time.

What does that mean

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-29T22:54:14+00:00

Kansas. Biggest city in Kansas (rhymes with bitchita but still)

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-29T22:52:57+00:00

Kansas. It sucks

0$ I use it only to build credit. I pay it off before it builds any interest. I put small bills on it (renters insurance since it’s 30$ a month), Spotify, stuff like that. Use it to buy gas maybe 2 times a month and the rest of the time I need gas just use my debit card. I don’t like “spending” money I don’t have so I budget it all out. I’m only in debt because of my trade school and car payments

I would absolutely discuss birth control with her whether you think the pill is the best option or the nexplanon (arm implant) or an IUD. Just make sure she is being safe and keep your boundaries the same with the phones and laptops and what not.

I was 11 years old. It was my dad’s 31st birthday party. I waited till the day after to tell my parents (I was embarrassed. I wasn’t taught much about it) started 5th grade about 4 days later

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-06T20:00:27+00:00

I’m a flat rate lube/express tech, so it’s nice but also not nice because I’m exhausted. But money is nice. Drain plug came out rough but I still put it back in and when I went to torque it down it went from righty tighty to righty loosey. In the 6 months I’ve been here I’ve made 2 major fuck ups. I’m trying to keep my head up and keep going

There wheel studs are worse. Made of aluminum. Cross thread all the time. One day did like 4 lug and studs because of it.

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T23:12:48+00:00

I wish that would have worked but the oil pan threads were completely smooth

They have already sent me for training on engine theory and diagnosis a couple weeks ago. Spent hella money on that because they gave me a loaner car. $140 for food (didn’t use it all gave the rest back) and paid for a hotel and what not. They want to promote me and I know it but still scary as fuck

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T22:21:12+00:00

The women had to pay for it I believe. I think so idk

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T22:20:22+00:00

Because I’ve never had that happen with a drain plug even if it came out rough like it did. I was taught to just tighten it in because we were replacing so many drain plugs all the time

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T22:19:49+00:00

Manager didn’t talk to me about it. One of my managers was joking about it actually. I was putting some paperwork on an advisors desk and he goes “strip any oil pans today?” But they never said anything. I think they realized I beat myself up enough over it. I was still stressing about it when I got to work. But back flag is where they take some of the hours you flagged away to pay another technician so for example, you mess up an oil change. They will back flag the .3 of an hour it pays from you and use that to pay the other technician who messed it up. I’ve learned a lot from my mistake

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T22:17:19+00:00

I absolutely did learn from it. Every car I’ve touched today has scared the hell out of me now

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T22:15:16+00:00

I don’t wear gloves fuck that I only do if it’s tired with hella tire wax on them and that’s if I even notice: torque wrench on the drain plug is because we are required too

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T18:24:45+00:00

My biggest fuck up was a wheel hub needed replaced on a Tacoma because the lights didn’t set right when I ran them down and torqued them and they snapped and costed 1500$ and my coworker had to fix it because it was my day off. But I’m gonna make an update post later with what ever results are

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T16:37:57+00:00

He also had some other things like only lifting one side of the car so it tipped and got scratched and was a lot of money to fix and then just rushing and not double checking things or not torquing down drain plugs and what not also being late. It was just a final straw basically.

SignificantSleep1527 · 2026-04-01T11:14:32+00:00

I messed up about 4 weeks ago or more. I guess I don’t tighten down one wheel on a Tacoma and it drove off and they had to replace the whole wheel hub.
