No, I think the NFL picked top teams so casual fans would watch it instead of the WS.Are you saying you don't think there won't BE a game 5??!

When you said they were installed on the wrong sides I questioned what they meant. I don't know about your car but all the cars I've done brakes on it either doesn't matter which side or it is impossible to install incorrectly and get everything to fit back in.
Never underestimate the power of the government trying to make a buck off you!

how long did you have to take off work yesterday and now today to get this inspection done?

I'm part-time - 9:30 to 2:00 3 days a week and 9:30 to 5 the other 2. Yesterday was a 2pm day and I left at 12:30 and I'll probably be an hour and a half late today. I'll make up the time next week - but even so - I work late/come in early/work through lunch whenever needed so when I need to leave early my boss doesn't mind. We're a small office and it finds a way of evening itself out. I'm pretty fortunate to have a really cool office family.

Paid by the hour?I will say this though - if nothing was wrong, why is it taking so long?

You know what's funny?
Back in Belgium from DLP. Just a couple photos to share as the photos are mostly on our digital camera. When I get home I will share more about the trip with a bunch of photos.
These are pictures from the area where we stayed. The first is of our apartment building. The area was really nice. Only a 5 minute drive to the parks. There was also a really nice bakery a block away where we could have breakfast before going to the parks.
And one pic of their castle, which I thought looked pretty awesome.

Well to recap my car situation - there was nothing wrong with the brakes, the installed the tail light and license plate light and completed the inspection and charged me $0. The guy said he put it in the computer as a "recheck - client complaint" but he has no idea what Pep Boys could have seen that caused them to fail the safety check. Interesting to say the least. Well, since all it cost me was time and it could cost me MORE time to complain, I'm going to move on and just no go back to Pep Boys for anything service related. I will, however, write a letter of praise to the Mavis Discount Tire corporate offices (with a cc: to my local location) because I find praising someone for good is not done nearly as often as it should.
I know what I'll be watching.

Of course, you're watching The Walking Dead followed by The Affair on Showtime.

National Candy Corn Day
National Breadstick Day – Last Friday in October
National Speak Up For Service Day*
National Publicist Day*
National Frankenstien Friday – Last Friday in October
SPEAK UP FOR SERVICE DAY
Speak Up For Service Day was established to recognize the importance of telling others about the need for young people to be actively involved in community service. Too often, good deeds of service by young people go unnoticed by their communities. Speak Up For Service Day gives recognition to the unnoticed and serves as a reminder that people should tell others about the contributions of young people to their communities.
Sponsored by the Lions of North Dakota, the Speak Up For Service public speaking contest has become an annual event held in conjunction with the North Dakota State Lions Convention. Other Lions Clubs and Districts throughout North America sponsor similar public speaking contests where young people share their insight on issues of the day and the contributions of Lions to making the world a better place.
The Speak Up For Service Project’s history began in 2003, when the Fargo, ND Lions Club initiated a public speaking contest for area high school students in honor of Laura Christensen Espejo, a woman who devoted her life to improving the health care services available to the less fortunate in the Fargo community and in Peru, the country of her husband Lucho. Lion Robert Littlefield coordinated the contest on the local level before launching it as a statewide initiative while serving as District Governor in 2010-2011.
In 2010, the first annual Lions Speak Up For Service public speaking contest was held at the North Dakota State Lions Convention in Grand Forks. High school students who entered the competition spoke on topics related to young people and community service. Brent Johnson, a senior at Shanley High School, was the first state winner of the Speak Up For Service contest. Johnson and the other contestants received scholarships for their participation in the event.
NATIONAL PUBLICIST DAY
National Publicist Day is celebrated annually on October 30th. This is a day to appreciate publicists.
October 30th is the day that the New York Times printed verbatim the very first press release written by Ivy Lee, the “father of modern PR”. The Pennsylvania Railroad was a client of Ivy Lee, and on October 28th, 1906, 50 people lost their lives due to a three-car train jumping a trestle in New Jersey and plunging into a thoroughfare creek. In response to this, Ivy Lee created the first press release that afternoon. He not only convinced the railroad to distribute a public statement, he also convinced them to provide a special train to get reporters to the scene of the accident.
The New York Times was so impressed with this innovative approach to corporate communications that it printed the first press release—verbatim—on Oct. 30, 1906 as a “Statement from the Road.” (information obtained from SearchEngineWatch.com)
Public relations is such a love/hate relationship (you love to hate it and hate to love it). This industry isn’t an instant gratification one…and on some days a non-gratification. This is a day for publicists to come from behind the scenes where they are constantly working (even behind their eyelids) and be appreciated publicly for all they do to improve brand communications with the public.
OBSERVE
Call, email, or shout out to your publicist on social media and let them know you appreciate them. Don’t have a publicist? Well today’s the perfect day to research and contact one that suits your brand and show your appreciation for what they could contribute to your brand. Use #NationalPublicistDay to post on social media.
