Hot In The City

I brought my car to the garage in the early morning to have it checked for leakages in the airco. 4 weeks ago, when I had the inspection, they had filled in a dye to identify which part in the system was the culprit that let the cooling agent escape.

Around 10 am I got the dreaded call: replacing the faulty part would amount to 970 Euro...

&¿%$#*!!!

If I am nicely saving Euro by Euro throughout the coming months, I might be able to have this fixed next summer...

Memorable

"The thing that haunts a guy is the stuff he wasn't ordered to do." (from Gran Torinio)
"During the day, the cows would hang out in the pasture, chewing their cud. (Cud is the cow word for gum.) In the early evening, the cows had to be rounded up and taken to the barn for milking. I didn't work alone; I had a cow-worker: a highly trained farm dog named Ringo. The cows respected Ringo. He was a natural leader. When he barked, the cows would instantly line up at the barn door and offer to milk themselves." (from The Joy of Work)
"What would you do if you weren't afraid?" (from Who Moved My Cheese?)
"Most companies build their bureaucratic rules to manage the small percentage of wrong people on the bus, which in turn drives away the right people on the bus, which then increases the percentage of wrong people on the bus, which increases the need for more bureaucracy to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline, which then further drives the right people away, and so forth." (from Good to Great)
"Let's put a *smile* on that face!" (from The Dark Knight)
