when their car needs repairs but they rely on their car to commute (30 minutes) to work, they are in a new area and don't know anybody to bum rides off of, and they work during normal business hours (8-6)? 6/20/2010 7:45:39 PM |

Get a rental
If you take your car to a dealership, they might give you a free rental while they work on your car. 6/20/2010 7:47:37 PM |

^^^^^I guess I'm gonna have to, just sucks to spend an extra $70-80 on it. ^^^^NORMAL people ^^^The place I've decided to take it only works until 3 on weekends, there is a decent bit of work that needs to be done, I doubt one half day can handle it ^^No buses run to the town I work in ^I refuse to go to dealerships, huge ripoff IMO

Its like Red Box. You can rent a car for only one dollar. And you can keep it as long as you want. For only one dollar!6/20/2010 7:59:10 PM |

edit: looks awesome, but apparently they aren't in my area. dammit enterprise seems to be the most expensive, but they are right beside the mechanic's shop, seems like it might be worth it for the lack of hassle. Gotta find out what the hours for the mechanic, but it looks like i can rush over from work, just make it to enterprise in time to get the car, drop my car off, then I guess I'll probably have to wait till saturday until I can pick up my car and pay for it and drop off the rental

That's only 3 hours shy of a normal business day. 7hrs vs 10 isn't half.6/20/2010 8:23:33 PM |

^^^Brakes, I can do. I don't really have access to a frame puller, I don't know shit about air conditioners, and from what I've heard you have to take out the entire transmission to get to the rear engine gasket seal(and my mom offered to pay for old times' sake, so I'm ok with it)
So I've not worked out the exact numbers, but they are also short by a 3rd of their workforce. I figure 2/3rd of their work force working 70% of the day is enough for me to call it half
Edit: 46.6 (repeating) percent. Less than half, but either way, you get the idea

use up some vacation time over a long weekend.
It sucks, but i know the feeling. I never use vacation time for real vacation, it always gets used for taking care of shit. In fact, I haven't had a vacation in the 10+ years since graduating from college.

I've only had the job for 3 weeks, so I don't really have the option to telecommute or to used vacation cause I don't have any. They said since it will be a while before I get any vacation days or personal days that they'll work with me if I need to, but if it is possible for me to work it out without taking time off, I'd like to 6/20/2010 8:59:08 PM |

^^I'm in management at a processing plant, so when the plant isn't running, I'm not really needed except for about an hour or two before and after. ^And its too long of a commute for a taxi, I don't even want to think what the fare would be daily
I think the rental car will work out well
