Default Have You guys ever had one of those really ****ty weeks

Well ok guys I figure I just need to vent a bit my week has pretty much sucked for all but one thing. One I wrecked my RC airplane because one of the servos blew in mid air and locked it into a downward dive and well you get the rest. then I had to miss work yesterday because my jeep was at the detailer and the person that was supposed to switch shifts with my mom so I could have her car for the day. which we arranged the switch months ago. backed out at the last min leaving me vehicleless. Then to kick it off now i'm missing today because I obviously ate something bad and i've been up since 4 a.m. carrying around a nice little blue bucket to throw up in and some Immodium tablets to stop it from coming out the other end. I feel like such a friggin idiot cuz i'm lettin my boss down two days in arow. especially since in my total time of being in the workforce since i was 16 this will be only the 4th day i've ever missed let alone two in a row. welp gotta run suddenly not feeling too good again.

dang dood. . .all I can say is sometimes the wheels have to come off before you know whats wrong. . .also if you have enough of a reputation with your boss man he'll let it slide. sometimes things are just out of your controll.

R/C's can be addictive. . .I fortunately havent taken anything out with mine. . .however the servo batteries died so she did a 30mph head butt into the curb. . .busted two A-arms, a drive shaft, bent the steering control arms, and crack one bulkhead in half[:@]

I have bought on ebay so many spare parts for all of my cars that it is insane. The sad thig is I have not used them in about a year. they sit in my garage, I gave a 2.5 revo to my retired stepfather to fart around with in oregon. when it cools down I am going to get them all going again and have fun with them.

Default RE: Have You guys ever had one of those really ****ty weeks

I just rebuilt the engine on my tmaxx 2.5 and it's runnin pretty good. I do havea pretty good reputation with my boss but i've only been at this job since the start of summer so even tho i've been doing good since it's still you know early in the whole scheme of things. I dunno what it is I ate but I got up like every hour and was hopin to feel better and head to work but it seems like i'm on an every hour throw up schedule.

I had a AE RC10GT and it was the worst thing I ever owned, I never drove it for more than ten minutes without something beaking, first it came missing a crystal for the reciever in the car, then the driveshaft spacers fell out, causing the driveshaft to fall out, then I was driving it down the street when the front tire came clean off, lost my bearings and the nut, then the pull start broke, then my little brother ran the left front into a stop sign blowing out the A-arm, steering linkage, and rim, so then it was time to buy new rims and tires and front and rear performance a-arms....And so on. I ended up having 300 dollars into the car before I sold it on ebay for $190.
