Yeah, there's very little air flow throughout the shop. And the heat / humidity / heat index has just been making things miserable... I have a blow gun that I can use to shoot air at myself. If I had a mister like you mentioned, those two things together would probably help quite a bit.

Hello everyone. Why is is so quiet in the land of Menewsha tonight? What day is it?? Sunday night, I know you guys don't have anything better to be doing :P just kidding. Well... hot you say? Hot? Hmmm.... yeah, it's a little warm here as well. Was only up to96 degrees yesterday... in the shade :sweat: x100000000

Yeah, hot. It's like 110 - 120 (if not more) inside the shop with the heat index and all the vehicles that come in after driving from miles and miles away to get whatever it is they need done to them. There's no breeze except from a couple of fans that don't seem to push much air. And the air they do push is the same hot, sticky air lingering about the shop. :sweat: It's absolutely miserable... :XP

Dimi: What you need is a spray bottle full of water! You spray the air, then shoot it at you with the air gun!! It's like a super mister 3000... or hard rain shooting at your horizontally. Either way you'll most likely cool down!

Ooo, that'd be really nice. :yes: Of course, that might make people a little irritated when they go to get in their car and their seats are all wet. ;) Especially if they have leather interior. :sweat:

Lol. Well don't do it NEAR the cars, silly! Aim it away, away!!

Well, if I soak myself, then it'll get in the cars anyway when I go to move the cars. :P ;)

Hum.. well then... maybe like a smoker's break, you can taking a 5 minute misting break. XD Once 5 minutes are over I'm sure the heat would have you dry as a bone again!

Mmm, you've got a point there. Although the only legitimate breaks we get at the shop is our lunch break. :ninja:

Misting time for lunch! Wooo hooo, wet t-shirt contest and sammiches!

Pfft! A wet t-shirt contest might be nice IF we had any female employees at the shop. :stare:

Well it would be nice for ME if you had a lot of hot guys and took pictures. :heart: Hee hee hee.

Hey, hey, you're married now, remember? ;)

Besides, the only pictures I have on my phone of any of the guys at work is when we got bored one day and ended up stuffing a couple of the guys in the icebox in the breakroom fridge (not both of them at the same time, mind you). :XD :rofl:

I can still looooook, right? *puts on halo* Although... man stuffed in fridge, not so sexy sounding. :p

Well, yeah, I suppose looking doesn't hurt. After all, I still look at women all the time. :ninja:

No, no, not the fridge. The ice box. And it's one of those fridges that has the little ice box on top rather than a side-by-side. While it may not be sexy, it sure as hell is funny. :P

Anyway, I think I'm gonna head to bed. Gotta get some sleep for work tomorrow.

O_O You fit a guy in one of those small top freezer boxes!?!?!?!?! I just don't think I'm picturing this right, that or you work with really small people.

Anyways, I'm heading to bed too! Night and see ya later!

Aw, you guys are always online when I'm at work. xD *shakes fists at time zones*

Grah, I messed up my dominant hand's wrist. >_>;; I haven't used my left hand so much before. Maybe I'll become ambidextrous! *hopes*


@Miki: I finished watching Kuroshitsuji...I'm speechless. D:

@Ultima: o_o In the ice box...Seriously, how big is it?! O_O I'm not even sure you could stuff me in one!

@Zephi: GUH. It's that hot in Afghanistan too? Haha, we had a sergeant telling us about how it snowed where he was, and they had to stay there for a few months not doing anything since they couldn't travel.

Tori: I knoooooooooooow! The ending was like, super extremely crazy emotionally distraughtly depressing and sad!! And they're coming out with an anime sequel to it with a whole new boy and whole new butler!! I'm to terrified to watch it for fear it'll end the same way again!

Well, neither one of them would make any basketball teams, that's for sure. Hold on a sec and I'll try to DL the pics from my phone to my comp, then I'll show them to you.

--EDIT--

@TK: Oh, no! How did you mess up your wrist? I hope it gets better soon so you're not in pain when you try to use it. :yes: :hug:

Dimi: Hee hee hee! That sounds pretty funny!

Finally got the pics transferred to my comp, re-sized, and uploaded to photobucket.

Yeah, they're both pretty short. The second guy is the shortest (I think he's just a bit over 5 foot tall), but the first guy is pretty short, too. :P

And here's a couple of pics to give an example of the stupid shit we have to deal with from customers that know nothing about automobiles:

Might be kind of hard to tell what these pics are supposed to show at first (especially since the first pic is so bloody blurry because I was laughing my ass off while taking the pic). Basically, this is a car that came in with one of those "space-saver" spare tires, more commonly known as a "doughnut" spare. The problem in these pics is that the person who put the spare on, put it on BACKWARDS!! It's a wonder that the damn thing didn't come off the car while they were driving down the road. :roll:

:D Oh my god! That is so hilarious! How did those guys fit up in that tiny space?? They're so skinny, that's what!

And I must confess I don't know much about cars either. ^_^; I would have never guessed it was on backwards until you told me.

Yeah, they're both pretty much nothing more than skin and bones. :yes:

You might not know much about cars, but I doubt you'd put your spare tire on backwards. Those things are designed to only go on one way. That person must have fought with that thing horribly for quite a while just to get the lug nuts on it. They somehow managed to force it on, though. I'm still trying to figure that one out. :ninja:

the last time I needed to put a spare on I can't even remember how I put it on. I just remember I had to jump up and down on the cross wrench thingie to get some of the bolts off the tire. They were rusted on tight! >_<

And yes.. I'm aware 'cross wrench thingie' is not the right term. :p

Well, I'd think that having your spare tire sticking about 4 inches out of your wheel well would be a pretty good indication to most people that they might have put the tire on backwards. ;)

What kind of car is it that you drive again? Some kind of import, right? I don't know how much strength you have, but most domestic cars (and some of the smaller pickups) have their lug nuts tightened to about 100 foot-pounds of torque. Most imports are around 80 - 85 foot-pounds of torque. But, if you went to one of the tire shops that don't follow the manufacturer's guidelines, your lug nuts might have been tightened to roughly 150 foot-pounds of torque or more. And I know what you meant by 'cross wrench thingie', no worries. :P
