Ate too much at lunch, that's why I am tired. I didn't feel well last night and didn't eat much for dinner so that's why I was so damn hungry.

Reviews!

Apparently, the thing doesn't work most of the time, because Viper servers keep crashing, or overloading during peak hours.

That makes the whole thing worthless.

Went with a couple of guys here at work -- one guy is going through a divorce (just starting; he found out she was cheating) and I had to hear those stories the whole time. People amaze me at how really mean they can be (referring to his wife).

Doing a remote start would be a royal pain in the ass with my car's keyless start. The next gen G would have it easier, because nothing physically moves.

To control it though... a Verizon pre-paid phone that receives texts?

I hope he ambushes her with the papers. Take the time to consult every decent lawyer in the area, and then surprise attack with the papers, after he gets all his pieces in position.

I hope he takes her to the cleaners but let's face it, the law is very much anti-male in these regards.

So a remote starter is pretty much a non-starter. I don't want to carry the extra remote, and besides, even a basic starter is going to be a bitch to set up. I'll just freeze, and to a lesser extent, boil.

I guess for the money it'd take to get a VSS, which apparently has significant problems, I could get myself some top quality cold gear.

Really the biggest time I'd want it is coming home from work at 9 PM, during winter, I often have to sit there for a few minutes while the car heats enough to defog the glass.

I'd offer to check them, but I don't have experience with cover letters and resumes.

Honestly, they probably aren't too critical since this is an internal position within our department.

As I've said, I think this is a formality and they have the person selected. I think I am more qualified than this person, so that's why I am applying.

Oh well. Besides, I'd probably get out there to sit and wait for a few minutes, because I don't move until the girls have their cars started, and if I get to the intersection and they still haven't moved, I'll circle back through to find out why.

Now, if I am wrong and get it, there are some major questions to answer:

1. Do I really want it?
2. Is there a pay increase? (doubt it)

The answer to #2 is problematic. I would want a pay increase but if they don't give one, should I take the position anyway just for the experience and then leave when I get the chance and after I vest?

I will be pissed if I get it and no additional money is involved, as I know the ridiculous salaries some people are getting paid here and it is a joke.
