Things that are "Dad type"

-being pissed for days because the A/C broke in the house and you had to pay some fool $99 to make a service call.

-being pissed at the way that Home Depot lays out their store entrances ("enter" door is too far away from the "exit" door, so no matter where you park, you're not close to one of the doors.) This is exacerbated because every trip to Home Depot is always an emergency one, and you need to get back to that project FAST.

-thinking that you've "beat the system" because you figured out that you can just park by the "exit" door at the Home Depot and walk in that way, completely avoiding the "enter" door.

edit- two effing typos

lol....I thought I beat the system by going into the "lumber yard" entrance

what I needed was not even close to the lumber

Home Depot=1 Wizzle=0

Then go to Lowes. Fixed.

Lowes is even dumber. You can't get in their exits, but their entrance is in the middle of the store, meaning you have to park in the middle where every soccer mom parks. I would rather park next to all the pickup trucks at the lumber section, avoiding all soccer moms.

- Scoping out the soccer moms at Lowes

- Explaining penalties in hockey to five year olds by calling them "time-outs".

Next time you could just shoot me a PM if you can wait til the evening (if it's a weekday). I can take a condenser, and a furnace apart and put it back together. Just saying, if you want to possibly save $99+ for a dumb fix.

^^ that may also be "dad type".

In my head, UxKa went over to Gl'enn's place, and UxKa says "there you go Gl'enn, you're all set." Dad-type Gl'enn replies, "alright, thanks U-X."

strange...

I think he meant that he could explain how I could do it, since he's in Chicago.

I'm Dad type, but I'm not a fixer, I'm a hirer.
