Still no car

04/27/05 @ 11:36 am · By Steve Hoffman · Comments (0) · Leave one
Well, our car is still out of service...although if the stuff isn't in by tomorrow we're going to pick it up until the pin stripes come in then give it back for a day to have them done.  This has truly been a nightmare and I'll say now anyone that is considering taking a car to Capital City Auto Body, think again...there's a reason their estimate came in hundreds of dollars cheaper then anyone else...THEY SUCK!  Not that it's all their fault, but when I drop off a car for repair I don't expect to have to drive all over town trying to find a book of pinstripes myself...I expect to go to their shop...look at a few and make my decision.  I went there no less then twice (leaving work early I might add) and got some lame-ass excuse as to why they didn't have it so finally they give me a coffee stained business card of a graphics shop on the other side of town and make me go there to find pin stripes...then they asked me to buy 'em for them and they'll reimburse me...I almost had it at that point but we went and got our stripes picked out and they're now a week late, but if we didn't call we'd have never known...it's like they don't care.  Consider yourself warned. 

Joni still hasn't heard back from that job she interviewed for, but it's only been two days so I guess there's no point in worrying yet.  This one sounds much more promising then the last one, as far as the job is concerned.  Not to mention she was up front about what she wants as far as salary so no bullshit offers, hopefully. 

I think Sunday, time permitting, I'm going to start that wiring project in the garage.  We want to put a motion sensing light over the garage, but there's no existing circuit so I'll have to run one.   That means I can pickup a few more tools!  I still haven't been able to find the kind my grandmother has that when the light is tripped out front it turns on a light inside the house...they do exist, but the ones I have found send an RF signal and I don't know how I feel about that considering all the signals that are currently whizzing around our house.  Tonight or tomorrow I want to go to an actualy lighting store and see if they have anything better then the superstores.  I doubt it though...
