Never make any mention that you ever worked there in the future....ever. You want to keep this adventure to yourself.

Kids????? I'll never understand them.
Man I've work in some Hell holes (a Brass Foundry on Midnights) and hated work but I always stuck it out till something better came along. I guess you just have too much money falling out of your pockets to care.

Anyone heading to the Brenspeed dyno day at the end of May. I'm looking forward to getting the new Saleen on the dyno for the first time. I want to see what she does bone stock, and then on to adding some LTHs.

Well, I think I can explain now what happened with the bus I worked on. The left rear lug nuts worked loose and the wheels almost came off. The bus had to be towed from northern cook county right near the border of lake county and had passengers on board when it happened. I still don't know the actual cause, but the bus wasn't one of the newest ones, so it could have simply been due to the age of the parts. The company is firing me since they think I didn't torque the lugs properly, however I know for sure I did. The work I did to the bus was about a month ago, so the problem would have happened much sooner if it was my fault.
I do have a few leads on jobs, so it shouldn't take me long to find a new place to work. I'm taking this as a signal that I should go back to working on cars and vans instead of bigger vehicles like buses, however I do have a few leads from friends and coworkers about other bus companies to try to get in with. I was thinking of looking for another job anyway, the vehicles at the location I have been working at are complete junk and the drivers are just plain stupid and not watching carefully what they are doing. Every day I would have to turn off headlights or something that someone left on.

wow, a month later, yeah, no way you could be blamed. Assuming it was used in the months time.
Well, it's summer time, I think you could fight it and get unemployment and enjoy the summer, lol.
