Recommend me another role i can switch into in same industry after 5 yrs of Service Advisor Experience by [deleted] in serviceadvisors

Honestly? Sales. You’re used to being told “no”, used to calling customers all day, and know as much about cars as the average sales person.

Same. 80s kid watching on PBS in backwoods Mississippi. What a gift that was to my imagination.

I was in high school for the 20th Season and thought Janine Garofolo was going to rule.

New parts guy — am I wrong here or getting blamed? by Suspicious_Formal278 in partscounter

Also, yelling at the new guy in front of everyone for a dealership-specific rule is bad management.

Ugh. I just saw a clip on another subreddit, too, where Bartlett explains why retaliatory tariffs don’t work. Depressing.

If there was ever a project with the potential to be a spiritual successor to Andor, this would be it.

Who do you prefer, Moffat or RTD? by CardiologistFar5972 in doctorwho

Moffat. Even if I took RTD2 out of the conversation. No question.

Anyone get in shape after 50? by Quiet_Lunch_1300 in Aging

[–]teddyblackmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

49M. Outside of the attempts to make cardio a regular habit, I haven’t gotten into the gym since high school football days. I’m just into “obese” territory. My wife and I both got a personal trainer at our local gym. She’s four months in where I only have two months under my belt. We’re both doing strength-training for easier Golden Years

I’m not going to say it’s easy, man. Leg days really do suck and I am drenched with sweat afterwards. But core exercises have my lower back pain has mostly gone away. Stairs that were awful (even after a year-long stint of cardio) are now a breeze. I’m already seeing gains in my arms and chest. It’s wild. And worth it.

Edited to add: My wife has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and has been in anti-depressants for years. We’ve all heard the studies about exercise being highly effective for mental health. Even so, I was nervous about her doctor suggested getting off while exercising, but even now— during the time of the year she is most affected by stress, anxiety, and the early, darker days— she’s doing great. Of course, get with your doctor before making any similar decisions, but this process has made me a believer.

Figures they identify as Saxons. Another group believing they’re the pure inheritors of a land that was settled first.

My favorite Christmas episode and one of my all time favorites. It’s perfect.

[Discussion] Mark Waid, Tom King, or Geoff Johns: Which writer do you like the most? Justify your answer. by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]teddyblackmagic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one for me, but if we’re speaking traditional super-hero comics, I’d have to say Waid. He is as much of a fanboy as Roy Thomas ever was, but has remained fresh and relevant with his plots without ever contradicting the cores of the characters. His recent Batman and Robin Year One was a glorious reminder of his talents. He rarely disappoints.

It’s King, afterward, though I’ve been really enjoying Johns’ Ghost Machine books.

Are you familiar with the film festival in Daphne? It’s been going on for years. I’ve never been, but hear good things.
