I work at a lube shop a mile from my house now... its as slow as a legless oldwoman clawing her way up a vertical wall.
I get $400 a week to watch movies, basically.
I did 7 cars today...
I watched meet the fockers, the blues brothers, some of the blue collar comedy tour, and lord of war.
yesterday was beowulf, rambo, star wars, and some of romeo and juliet.
ha ha. I love it.
And yes, I still drive to work.
I'm fat. |

I hate slow days at work. As soon as I arrive to work I want to go home, so the busier it is the faster time flies, the sooner it seems that I get to leave.
Sorry, I hate my job. |

On the off day that it isn't busy we are all scramblin to try to find something to do.
Funny thing is we had a few drivers that used to work at a Jiffy Lube and they said the same thing about basically just standing around twiddlin their thumbs. I've seen guys standing with signs trying to get people to come in at those grease monkey places.

Not that I'm complaining. My job pays me to take s*** apart all day, and that suits me just fine.  Congrats on the cushy gig, sir.
