Jerbs.... Ugh. Mine has blown ass this week. Next week should be though.

I've had several instances this week where my boss emailed me asking why projects weren't done and I had to forward his own emails from last week back to him where he'd stated that he was going to take care of those projects. Each time he's come back with "oh yeah... well I need you to get that done today" :eyeroll: I don't mind doing it, but I don't want to be rushing and half-assing a project because you sat on it for a week without working on it like you said you would.
Where are these mangos?

I don't understand anything anymore.
More work ... just got an email with pictures so I could see from our fab house.. a part that is supposed to go on this board is twice as wide as it should be. Check the BOM from our customer that we're building the for. It's the right part number. Do some research on my own, and find out that they left out an "N" at the end of the part number on their BOM, which denotes the narrow version of this integrated circuit... Idiots.
On top of that, it's an obsolete part and there's hardly any stock out on the market for it. Luckily the place that I bought the non "N" version has the "N" in stock, but now I have to try to sweet talk them into doing a straight swap for the parts, which is unlikely since most obsolete parts are ordered as Non-Cancleable/Non-Refundable..

How is living in DC an upgrade?
The job will pay me $50k+ more than I make now 2 years from now. D.C. area is nicer than where I live now. I have lots of friends there.
I am in upstate NY, so the cost of living will be more in D.C., but the pay will be better as well as the advancement opportunities. Doesn't have to be forever.

Dat locality pay. $50k more in two years, but how much more right off the bat?

I need career change ideas to ponder.
suggested security sales.
The life is burning me up right now.
Get in at a department store? Friend tried to get me in at Nordstrom before she moved away. Start in a random department and work up to men's shoes or suits. Then become department manager. She's already the department manager for one of the Nordstroms in Portland now at 27.

Do you have a degree? If so your experience + degree might be good for a team lead salaried position with Target or the like.

I've been pondering the same thing.
I shall continue tomorrow, where I'll be driving 46 miles to work for my one scheduled service appointment: a tire repair.
I'll probably take a three hour lunch, feign interest in what's going on around me, drink about ten cups of coffee and go take a trip to the McLaren store to check out the P1 GTR they have.

$9k more right off the bat. After year 1 is done then another 17k or something like that. After year 2, another 17k+. Basically, this is a job doing stuff I have always wanted to do and the promotion potential is awesome. I want it so baddddd.
Today, I had two fantastic customers. One was the ex owner/CEO of Dogfish Head brewing company. I thanked him profusely for Sea Quench and we talked beer for a few minutes.
The second customer was an older guy named Jim, and we got talking a little and he asked about where I was before I started at Porsche. I told him about my Toyota background, and that moving to Porsche after so long was a big challenge but it was nice to have to have the drive to prove myself again.
He told me that he ran a construction company, and joked that it's fun to try to prove yourself "when your brother was also the vice president"... I laughed, and said "well, you can always make sure he never takes over and becomes president".
"Well, we'll see what happens" he said. Gave the guy his loaner car keys, and his license back. I took a quick look at his name because I missed his last name, and just about shit.

Shop tried two different downpipes with a combination of four different O2 sensors and nothing worked. Traced all the wiring back and everything looks normal. They’re putting everything back tomorrow and I’m gonna take it to a dealer to diagnose. Need to come up with a limit for what I’ll spend on a new ECM vs just dumping the car and using that money as part of my down payment on something else.
though. 
with NYC as the experience over the past two weeks has been awful. 
out and tell them NYC and 
don't mix and not come here.
