It's been a year at my current place of employment. For the most part it's gone well, but (there's always a "but" isn't there....) the last few months it's gone down hill. Really ever since we lost out teamlead. The dude was a bit crude (sense of humor), but the guy was a hell of a teamlead and an awesome worker all around. Of the teamleads on the other shifts, one tries to do a good job, but is the kind of person that manages to push peoples buttons, so nobody likes him and the other guy just doesn't give a damn. Anyways, some shit went down and they cut out lead loose after 9 years of service. Of course no one really knows why. I thought it was bullshit, but what can I do? Anyways, his replacement is a decent worker, but certainlly not teamlead material. I'm not gonna air out my dirty laundry about this person. After all it's not important to the subject of the post. Working with two other shifts is nothing but a pain in the ass! The previous shift does only what they have to (and sometimes less), and the following shift bitches about what they come into. I'm ready to go back to employment with a single shift. The only thing I'll miss about the current place is the optical and dental insurance. I get a fresh chunk of coverage at the first of the year, so I'm gonna see the dentist and optometrist after we come back from the christmas/new year shut down, get some work done and then I'M GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!! I can honestly say that I throw down harder than anyone else. Bar none. I've had it with the bitching, whining, and complaining (I'm a bit guilty about doing some of that....) We're grown-ups here! You know what you need to do. JUST DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!
On a lighter note, I made it to a couple of events with the new toy and had a blast! I made a few changes to the front suspension after the charity autocross in the last post (springs/shocks/perf. alignment) and it was a completely different animal. Lots of grip and almost no pushing. Weight transfer was controlled and minimal. However the rear was crap. The worst of it was severe brake hop, that on the last run was so bad it popped the tailgate of the hinges and my water bottle out of the cup holder.

Plans for over the winter include a new box, bumper/grille, paint, and a 3-link for the rear.
That out of the way. Time for some catgirl stuff. I feel I should state that I don't own any of these images, as I have no artistic talent whatsoever. I grab all of them from a couple of places of the web.
