Hi, I am wondering if you guys are in the market to make some money. I know that sales are down so this is what I want, how much I will spend. I can be contacted on 123123123 today, tomorrow but will be in (city) to look at a car I am very interested in.)
Do this to the regional car yards and state ones. Wait 1 day for flood of calls and say no thank you I am looking else where but feel free to give me a call when you need the sale. Then do not call back. Wait a day and watch them squirm for your cash as they generally have quotas to reach by months end and will pretty much beg you to take a car.
Honestly every car I have got I have done this. Then when you get a good price offer the trade-in to get more off. Because at the end of the day they need your money and should work for it by making you happy with your purchase.

And it's only Tuesday.
Going to be one of those weeks, I think...

(My response, in contrast to yours.)
I'm just gonna go home if there's a big bottle of my coworkers piss waiting on my bench after lunch.
This whiny, existential crisis that comes with graduating. It annoys even -me-, let alone poor @Zarni. lol I can't wait until I hear back from grad schools so I can make a concrete plan. I also dislike just sitting on my hands until I have an answer to my multiple contingency plans. Being without a solid plan is not conducive to a
stress-freeless stressful environment for someone with a Type A personality, i.e. me. lol(Spinesreach): Xiuhcoatl says, "Oh man, grab the children-corn. This is gonna be good."
fewtwelve months has been a disaster with me being a real bitch to everyone. I think I need to go back to lab research again for a few years.Abhorash says, "Ve'kahi has proved that even bastards can earn their place."
Work in a call center. I have a giant backpack of doom. Accidentally nudged someone with it. Didn't notice, so did not immediately apologize. Person I tapped with backpack, gets all grumbly (understandably) and says '-excuse- me' and so I said, 'excuse me what?' And she's all, "You hit me with your bag." So I apologized. Immediately. And then I promptly tried to move the fuck on with life.
But apparently she didn't hear me. So she escalated the incident to a supervisor. So I told the supervisor what happened, and she said she'd handle it. Couple hours later, I'm being dragged into HR by Security along with said supervisor, who said she relayed what I had said to the other person and she said she'd accept that. But apparently not. Filed a two-page report with HR which is why I was called in. I'm not even sure how you get two pages out of what happened even if you file it in duplicate, and I'm good at excessively long description text. So I told HR what happened and it was decided that I'm not maliciously assaulting people with my backpack and they let me go back to the phones. So I thought that was done.
That was all friday. I got called into a meeting today with this person and our supervisor (not the same one as before) and we had a 36 minute meeting in which the sup requested we both just apologize and call it done, most of which was him trying to get her to understand why escalating past the first supervisor was excessive.
Seriously feels like I'm trapped in third grade here. Just. Ugh. On the upside, VTO today, so I'm done with it til tomorrow at least, and allegedly it's dropped and over now.
Other things: Sinuses. Ick. And also coughs of doom. And also being stupid sleepy all the time. These things are all grrr things.
Most of you know I have a service dog. My dog is not perfect, but he is well-behaved and does his job in public. He does not create any problems. Unfortunately, sometimes we have problems going into places. I haven't had anything major, just had to explain to people that he is a service dog, but I've heard a lot of frightful stories about people I've met explaining their predicaments and having to call the cops in and such. Situations like this are the reason managers and owners are hesitant about letting dogs in.
Walking through Walmart on the way out, following Ansnom and minding my own business with Nitro beside me like he's supposed to be when we passed one of those little side shops - it might have been a salon, returns, I have no idea, I was too mad by the end to even look. Evidently there was another service dog there. Now, sometimes Nitro sees other dogs and gets excited and wants to go be friends. That's why I have a leash and verbal commands - to keep him under control when he goes into dog-mode; after all, he's still just a puppy, and even well-trained service dogs make mistakes. In this scenario, I don't blame the dog. I blame the "handler".
The dog came OUT of the little side shop at Nitro, friendly as anything, wanting to make friends - the guy evidently had let go of his leash. I started making that ENNT noise so loud I had half the store looking at me and I'm kicking my leg out, trying to keep his dog away from mine. The guy comes running out, grabs the leash, and as soon as he had ahold of his dog, I turned and left. I -should- have stayed and got management, explained their rights, and had the guy kicked out for not controlling his dog. Because that's, you know, against federal law here in the US.
I have NEVER heard of a case like this before, and it absolutely BAFFLES me, to have a service dog and not keep ahold of the leash. I keep Nitro's over my neck so I still have control over him even when my hands are full, but damn, even if you don't know that trick, there's this well-known loop at the end where your wrist goes through. Man I left there so angry, I was -fuming- when I got home. This is the reason so many people who are responsible and have well-trained service dogs have such trouble taking their dogs out into public - because of people who are stupid. I mean, no matter how well-trained your dog is, they're ultimately still -animals-, and something small and unknown to us could still tick them and they could have ended in a dog fight in the middle of Walmart. Man, I'm still so angry about it.
Reason I say that, is because I've seen people claim pomeranians or chihuahuas that are carried in purses as a damned service dog. While its not right, I wish there was some sort of legal form that you had to carry that says your dog is an authorized service dog. Again, not sure if thats a thing or not, but if it isnt, it should be. It would give legitimate owners of service dogs abit more leeway with companies and going in public.
A bit silly.
I am glad you have such an awesome service dog though he sounds wonderful and well behaved, and you are a pretty awesome person for the dog to have as well. ...its one of those -sigh- walmart moments, but maybe write a letter to them explaining that service dogs must be on leashes and explain your scenario...they may be more understanding than not.
Sorry that a good day went kinda poopy
As for anything getting qualified as a service animal, that is partly true do to the ambiguity of what a disability can be. Need an animal to help deal with anxiety in public? Sure why not. I don't mind rules that make it easier for people who need the service. I know there will always be jackasses that take advantage of it, but it isn't them who suffer from stricter regulations
