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)?

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!

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

I feel as if the message still got across.

6/20/2010 8:08:26 PM

I feel so old and full of responsibilities. I don't like this!!!!

6/20/2010 8:14:34 PM

i normally figure out what's wrong with it, buy the part and fix it myself.

6/20/2010 8:18:44 PM

The fart sound was dubbed in there. I actually have the original clip on my hard drive from back in the days before youtube when I would collect funny vids from the interwebs. The dude just screams as he runs by.

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

Work from home, or go to a dealership with shuttle service.

6/20/2010 8:47:35 PM

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.

6/20/2010 8:55:32 PM

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

What about flextime? Make up the time you miss by working late, through lunch, or on a weekend?

6/20/2010 8:59:56 PM

6/20/2010 9:00:30 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

A teacher at my school bikes the 15 miles to work regardless of weather, starting in April. He's ex-Army and is built like a brick shithouse.

Got my rental car, I was gonna get a full size, hopefully a dodge charger, but when it came time for pickup they owned me. Kia rio

6/22/2010 7:08:49 AM

They didn't just own you, they ripped your head off and skullfucked you through your throat...
