'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For those without an owner's manual handy, the recommended intervals for oil change (and the routine maintenance that goes with it) can be found by plugging in your car's year/make/model info at CalRecycle's Check Your Number page: [link]
I'd crack out the manual or consult a professional for the more serious stuff though.
I have to post this [link] because it made me laugh SO HARD.
QQ: employee performance evaluation given at a restaurant, and in the same town as the place of employment. Unprofessional?
Unprofessional?
Highly.
Too bad that oil change calculator doesn't have cars before 2000.
Huh, it says I only need to change my oil every 7,500 miles! So I think the oil change/rotation now and wait till 30K for a full-scale maintenance seems good; maybe I'll do the 30K a little early but then continue on the 15Kish intervals, which seems to be working well for people.

It depends. Have other employees gotten evals at restaurants? Was it a place were you'd be easily overheard by other employees? was salary discussed? I have actually had reviews done in restaurants, because my boss wanted a MORE private place than my office plus he wanted to buy me lunch as part of a "good job" eval.
Nice day with the parents! Went with my father for a tour of the local chocolate factory -- it's small, so not really much to tour, but very interesting! And then helped make stuff for family Christmas tomorrow -- cookies, spiced nuts, and I think that's all I really did.
Mine was the only one done in a public place.
Again, it was in Summit, which is a large town/small city, and I work at a place that is very much a part of the community and I am a very public face associated with it. So talking about anything regarding internal workings is always a dangerous thing to do in town, no knowing what neighbor, boardmember, frequent visitor, or friend of any of those could overhear.
My eyes were bugging the fuck out of my head when she began. And it was a tiny restaurant that was packed full but not too loud to be private. Then she gave me my printed review to hold onto and I had nowhere to put it but under my dinner plate.
