that blows.


I'm involved in a project that is likely going to court at some point now. So this week has been lots of meetings, finger pointing, stress, and documentation.

so like the shit part of engineering work. Being a lawyer without being paid like one.
Sounds :disgust:
Does your company have in house council or do they farm out their legal work?
The larger corporation has staff council, but they don't live in our office / group.

The email I wish I could send:

Dear Upper Manglement,

Yes, of COURSE we overbought last year. Remember when you all said that because of the :thankstrump: tarriff :bs: we should not lose an opportunity to buy extra inventory, from any vendor, whenever the opportunity presents itself? You do? Good, then stop whining about our inventory being too big today. And, Sales, start selling the shit you whined to me and Purchasing about to buy more of. Kthx.

xoxo,

WAP

BMW’s xDrive is perfectly capable. I’ll bet his tires were summer tires or worn out.
Snow finally came to West Michigan and my snow tires are the balls.

I started looking around, all hypothetical at this point, for an AWD turbo car - hatch, sedan, mini-SUV - that could replace my MK7. The main factor is to get AWD for our ski trips and generic winter season driving.

I know basically any Audi hits the requirements, so I've checked those out. I've looked at the BMW 3 series, Benz C class, among others. Should anything else be on my radar (used, ideally CPO, market, preferably under $20k)? I'd work to getting ~$12.5k on trade-in, if possible, to minimize monthly payments as much as possible.
:manuel: necessary or no?

I write emails with no recipients all the time and end of deleting them. Only a couple of times have I decided there were ZFG and I added people and hit send. Luckily, the others on the email ack'd that they screwed up and agreed with me.

I cannot truly speak, other than it being a lease, therefore no mods, not a car guy. He’d probably rocked oem tires so all season? Or bmw puts summer. Even that said, as far as awd germans are concerned, it seems like the xdrive (from what i heard) doesn’t hold a candle to a quattro, 4 matic, haldex, etc

Just got the scores back for my last CLEP I took this week. Looks like I have all the credits needed to finish my two associates degrees. I just need to contact the college and have them apply the credits for me.

I guess this means I need to start work on my BA. Im only a few years behind my friends who went to college. But luckily student loan debt free. And never needed to sit in a classroom. CLEP and DANTES for two associates so far.

Good on you for no debt, but why two associates? My questioning comes in the sense that 2 associates in terms of time/classes/credits is almost 1 bachelor's.

Because 95% of the required credits apply. Why not get two degrees when it cost me absolutely nothing except an extra 2 hours of my time?

Makes sense, was asking only because it took you longer so I assumed they were two different programs.
