And I'm sure it will cost a stupid amount of money to fix, dammit.
Maybe you could get one from a junkyard? or have your mechanic search for a used one?
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, Theo, I would definitely go back and tell them that the problem they were asked to fix is still recurring and what can they do about it, gratis.

So, anybody else have tomorrow (Veteran's day) off?
No, but I do have 3 days off at Thanksgiving and 2 weeks off at Christmas!

All of Chez Zmayhem. We'll probably jaunt down to the Mission for Burritos and Bi-Rite, pirates and taxidermy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My question is... when they TOTALLY failed to repair it whatsoever, and in fact spent $250 of my money doing it... do I have reason to ask for my money back, or for them to try another chip insertion gratis (because there's always the possibility they may have put a faulty new chip in, or damaged it when they were inserting it)?
Yeah, absolutely.

Nope, no Veteran's day off, but that's because it is all crazy all the time work trying to get ready for our fundraising convention/family holiday visit Thanksgiving trip. I am kinda not looking forward to it at all, except for the train ride bits.

Scheiss, a lot of spam is getting through my filter in the last couple days.
Go away!

Oh, I know, me too.
And look how talky I am all of a sudden. A sure sign I need to log off and get back to work. Avoidance, hello, how are you?

Thanks, Liese! I've never before been in a position where a repair place so completely whiffs on a repair.

I have Veteran's Day off! Well, technically, the schools are closed and so therefore my services as a substitute will not be needed.
I didn't get called today either, which I half hate because I need the money, and half love because I was up way past my bedtime reading and I would have been a veritable zombie for the first few periods.
