so my Friday just got fun. a motor I'm going to have to wire a switch on had its freshly rewound armature poop the bed. the fan broke loose and is wobble spinning freely. so the boss just took it back to the place that rewound it. don't know when it's coming back. or if it's coming back. but apparently its an urgent job that needs to ship today (?). so iv got a feeling between lunch and 4pm is going to be hectic.
i did just finish the small PITA coil with rectifier though, so hey, that's one headache down. and the coil with the weird mounting/centering (? hell idk what it does) thing sticking out of it with terminals that was a tedious AF.
and now i have nothing to do, so... ...yeah...

Left an entire container of tzatziki dip out unsupervised on accident. Needless to say my dog ate the whole tub and half a cucumber… I got two bites out of that whole container and I was really looking forward to eating that.

Best way to find something you lost is to buy it again. The moment it ships, you’ll find it. Works every time!

That is one of the ten hobby commandments.

If I'm being honest, the "little baggie" had my thought process going a different direction for you.

I'm a preload clip lover as well.

Mattress Shopping Questions

Instead of telling me he had customers he's working with and will call me back, the guy tries to hold conversation with me (on phone) while talking to customers. So rude. Five seconds of this mumbo jumbo me trying to talk over people at showroom... I saw red. Les won't be getting my business.

The computer is locked up. Didn't you read the sign on the door. Cash only.

No. I did not. I don't have my glasses on.

Well it's on the door, right when you come in.

Didn't see it. How much is the total?

I don't know. The computer is locked up.

I walk out. Leaving three items sitting there- no words.

Thank you - come back. (mumbles some derogatory remarks)

It's a wonderful world we live in, isn't it.

Customer service isn't what it used to be, that's for sure.

I had a problem with Paypal. Their AI answered back explaining that there was no problem and nothing to be done.
I'm glad the computer is happy.

I'm a little bit annoyed. Ordered some parts for my Nitro Sport restoration from a HS on ebay which I've been using a lot recently. They seem to stock a lot of old discontinued parts.

One of the orders was over a week ago but it still hasn't been posted. I have ordered more from them since then and they too haven't been posted. I gave them the benefit of the doubt even though it says they will ship within 1 business day.

I contacted them yesterday to see if there was an issue. He replied that they don't have one of the items in stock.

Why did it take over a week for them not to tell me and why did I have to contact them? Why did they hold all the other parts and other orders? The other parts would have arrived by now if they have of posted it on time.

Bad communication and business practices from the seller. I will still use them but it is disappointing.

2 weeks now. Still haven't been posted.

Nope, my trust only sretches so far. They don't deserve your business if they can't be bothered to communicate with you.

I want to like this seller as they stock discontinued parts and do 50% off sales, but yer, they're going to lose a customer soon.

Apparently they stock invisible parts too.

Invisible parts should be even cheaper too

As long as they don't accidentally ship you an invisible raptor.
