Hi All!
It’s a cold Monday evening and I’m relaxing over at T’s after going to Lowe’s and WalMart for him. This was quite a day at work; I damn near walked out. The lot has this Mercury Mountaineer over at the shop; it’s been there for several months. It has the typical 4.0 liter E motor timing chain noise. It’ll need chains and guides on at least the front of the engine and I’d be willing to bet the rear chains and guides are bad too. Well, the service manager has kinda been putting this off because it’s such a big job. All at once this morning, they decide they need this thing fixed right away. What’s their idea of fixing it? Change the oil and load it up with oil additives. Fer Christ’s sake, who in their right mind would think that’s going to help broken chain guides and worn chains??? I’m so sick of being second-guessed at this job that I’m about ready to give up trying completely. I guess I’ll just start asking what they want done rather than actually diagnosing any problems.

I never thought I’d hear myself say this about my job, but now I’m just there to put my time in and that’s about it. I’m not the only one there that feels that way either. Oh well, I guess I’ll just keep blogging and keep my eye out for a new employer.

I’m not really in a bad mood, just kind of fed up I suppose. T is fixing dinner, so I’d better wrap this post up. I’ll write again tomorrow.

As Always,
Chris
