So catching up with work. The bank took over brought in a new company so had to fill out new employment forms and hell ya we have Direct Deposit back again and we have finally moved to a much better every other Friday paycheck. So while I'll miss those 11 and 12 day pay periods I will definitely not miss those annoying as hell 9 day pay periods or I really really hate you end of the month February with it's 7 or 8 day pay periods. And then we have my actual job. I hated the last company for how wasteful they were with the absolutely absurd amount of paper they had to use every freaking day. With this new company the report is sent by e-mail. Cut down so much on the actual paper usage that I'm thrilled to have the new company.
And now that brings us to the weekend and I decided to replace the drive belts on the Jetta as I knew the alternator belt needed to be changed and to do that you have to take off the other two drive belts to replace the other belt. Looked like it would be an easy task. Boy was I wrong. Seriously wrong. What was supposed to be a two hour job took me close to 4 hours and I still forgot to tighten two bolts back up when I finished. So I'll do that tomorrow morning. I actually had to cut two of the belts off and drop the power steering pump in order to get the old belts off and the new ones on.
In the process of doing this I was using a dead weight hammer to get the power steering pump to move (later realized that I missed on bolt on it) and while hammering on it I smacked my wrist againts the cement floor and while it hurt a little I didn't think anything of it until my hand started getting really warm and I was like oh shit I remember that feeling. So I looked at my wrist and god damn the little nub bone on your wrist on your pinky side wasn't there. I felt around and it felt like it was moving around freely. FUCK! FUCK! Went in and told my roommate and was just a little freaked out. Put some ice on it and took some Advil and went back to re-read the instructions and found out that I had missed a bolt. Once I got that bolt out and ps pump dropped it was just a matter of getting the belts all back on with a bit of a nudge. I got everything put back together and damn now I know why people would rather just take the pulley off the ps pump instead of dropping it.
After that I took a shower and started doing laundry. Ended up watching the last pre-superbowl football game and it turned out to be pretty damn good. Great way to kill time waiting for laundry. Still not a huge fan of Football but I have to tell you I'm really excited for the Superbowl and not because of the game (a repeat game from a few years ago) no there are going to be some awesome commercials this year and VW will be back with another Star Wars tie in. Actually that's another thing I did this weekend. Finally took a look at the newly redesigned VW Bug and while the car looks good the rims are freaking ugly and there isn't a nice choice among the rims offered by VW. So with that the week was done.
So here's some more videos from this week.
I so need to catch up on this series
