Granny's gone and done it again

Do you remember if you were scared at first? Or excited?

I was a bit worried about the cars in the lot I was driving around in. But I love learning new things!

Toyotas are amazing. I once had an '85 Toyota Corolla on its last legs, which I got for $1,000 in 2003, and that little car got 50 mpg!!!. I finally knocked the muffler off on a rock by accident and decided not to fix it but traded it in on a little Ford Focus. The dealer gave me $3,000 trade-in value on it. It's probably living a new life as a taxi in Mexico or somewhere.

The Toyotas I had went on and on. Very few repairs ever needed. My dream car is a Toyota Supra.

Horrible day at work. Marks the WORST day I have EVER had there. We have a horrible new hire who is a jerk to me. He wants to try and mock me and call me names instead of working. He will listen to the managers, but nobody else. BUT the managers are ALWAYS busy so I was tasked with teaching him things. He REFUSED to listen, GM left after we had a slow hour... it picked right back up after he left. Manager in charge was too busy to deal with him because we where slammed.. I ended up doing work for two people all night. I didn't get a second to breathe and have a drink until 5 hours into my shift. We had the WORST possible crew combination. Three horrible workers, three more who are GREAT workers but also GREAT friends so there where reminders to not get distracted every 5 mins. After it was all over I went to the back and called my GM in tears because we where busy, I was stressed, and one of the co-workers was treating me like garbage. I'm ready to completely break down crying again because today was really bad. I cant imagine how stressful it was for my managers. Before the night crew showed up, they where slammed and understaffed from open to 4pm. TWO people called in sick today. I can only hope tomorrow is better. New guy has the day off. I hate him so much. And if he has ANYTHING to say about my attitude towards him, I know my co-workers will back me up. I'm a great person. I can really say that and not sound full of myself. I am a great worker, I get a long with most people, even if I really don't like them. But I DO NOT allow people to walk all over me. I may seem quiet, and nice enough to walk over, but when I am MAD I am MAD. during my crying session with my gm, he told me to ignore new hire. and did I ignore him. Have a question? ignored. need help? ignored. Try that. Want to mock me and be a jerk? I just won't talk to you. Have fun walking around like a chicken with its head cut off because you made your help mad at you.


I needed to just let that all out. LOL

Sorry you had to endure that. Toxic people are the worst! Hopefully he leaves or gets fired.

I still dont understand why stick shift is better than automatic or maybe it isnt... Anyone care to explain?

Great for driving in snow, you can gear down without touching the brake to slow down. And it's kind of fun!

Was it like that for you guys or did you just jump in and take off? Maybe I'm overly cautious.

I already knew how to drive, so after 2 lessons I bought the car and drove it home.

anyone else watch homestead rescue? I like this program. They work on homesteads that are off grid and help people be able to stay in their homes .

Yes, we enjoy it. I can't believe some of these people buy real estate without a water source. And so many people use chicken wire with predators around. Dead chickens in their future!

Ah yes. Forgot about that definite perk.

though anyone (especially learning!) who lives where there’s ice and snow, invest in good winter tires. They truly are a game changer.
