i am a bar tender, we trade shifts pretty often, not big deal

there is one guy that i have covered his ass for multiple bullshit reasons, from IM sick to IM hungover, to im swamped at school, to i have a test to its a friends birthday...

i have covered for two days of his so i could have off MOnday this fucker txts me and tells me he cant, his gf already made plans and he is sorry...

i had to take my bike to a photog today and am getting prolly getting the best v-day gift ever and now i am fighting to just take the fucking night off...

Then quit and go somewhere else. Problem sovled. Apparently the guy who keeps taking off isn't making this gig his sole source of income or doesn't need the money.

i have already threatened to goto the other bar
problem is I make BANK here
i mean alot of cash, and i make the bar bank

as long as i am there i have no rules, keys to everything, can through a VIP party and it not cost anything for anyone, im well known and well liked by our regular clientele, i can do this while still in school and it doesnt interfere too much with life.

this job pays for my toys while i get a education. since my wrx engine blew up i needs this to make ends meet, if the cars engine didnt blow up i would of been fine, but that 9k cost and hurt deep for a grad student

If you're bringing in all the cash then tell them to fire the douche or you're gone. I'd rather make a little less then be stressed.

Just remember these two simple words the next time he "asks" a favor.

FUCK YOU

When he gives you that bullshit butt hurt look and wonders why, just tell him his word is worth shit ( or used toilet paper )

So... I'm not understanding why he's able to get off so much even if you're covering for him. Is he fucking the bar's owner?

Those are the joys of working in a bar. Bouncers, for the most part, arent the most reliable employees.

Did you direct some of that anger toward him to make him realize he needs to cover your shift, or did it all end up here?

Sucks he pulled that, but if this is a first-time scenario, you need to spell it out to him. If it's happened before... well, you know what they say.

Its a bar, its not like working in an office. A lot of part timers, students, etc etc.

I'm just not going to cover for his ass anymore, fuck him
This will bite him hard cause I'm not the only one pissed at his attitude and work ethic, I have a feeling his time at the bar is limited

I have a feeling he'll just call in and say that you said that you were suppose to cover for him and the bar will call you to come in.

See that's the thing though... When he works for the guy he makes his money. When I worked on a bar I was more than happy to cover other guys shifts, more money for me! The guy ain't hurting anyone but himself and you can have Valentine day anytime. Take your gf out tonight for V-day, go to.work tomorrow and use that money for something fun. Fuck that dude, cover all his shifts. He will have.empty pockets while yours will be full. If your gf has any sense she will understand.

At $9K I guess you bought that engine from a dealer? Seems like there could have been tons of subie forum members or import shops who could have sold you one for half that.

And I love how people these days txt bad news to someone, instead of calling them. Convenient. :lol:

Texting is so they dont have to man up and talk to the person so they dont have to hear the Disappointment/anger/whatever emotion it may be....And not feel like an ass.

I'd cover the shift to spite his ass and then when he asks again i'd say sure no problem...then an hour before i would text him and say your balls deep in your gf and you cant make it in.

Fuck him right back...And I also agree...9k for a new motor? theres such a Subie following out there...did you check forums and shit? Hell my old roomate has a WRX like yours and a 2010 STi he buys shit all the time for cheaper off of forums like this.

Most cars don't have the absolute piss run out of them like a scooby. I don't know anyone that's had one that didn't just molest it like a sheep at a Montana bachelor party :idk:

I've not heard about blown motors, but transmission going out in them. What I understand is that when they add "toys" to the engine for more HP they don't upgrade the tranny and it just can't handle it.

I think it's more like what Troy said in having the piss ran out of them and not being taken care of the way they should.

the issue is exactly what you pointed out...

but lets look a little closer:

the 02-03 tranny has the worst reputation, it was ment to hold 164whp and does it well
this is the first generation of the usdm wrx and in stock form it is fine, you start adding go fast goodies it reaches its limits fast and blows 2nd usually sometimes third, but adding a stage 2 which is just some pipe work and a Accessport tuner and your looking at adding 50hp and more torque. I more then doubled the hp and its holding it, i cant get wild and abuse it but i knew that going in. the rule of thumb is that the 02-03 can safetly hold 300hp at the crank, the sti which has thicker gears can hold 400hp at the crank which is still a little less ~ then i am making, needless to say i have never launched my car

as fas the engine is concerned a major issue is oil starvation at the #4 cylinder due to the oil sensor being set at ~3 psi and its just too damn low, once it hits that low the damage is done, which is what happened to me. when they rebuild the car they replaced it with a aftermarket unit that is set at 12 psi, which is well above the safetly margin, so if it dips i know i have a issue before we have reached the land of its already fucked up.

the main reason is its so stupid simple to just crank up the boost and disregard the reliability of the engine, if 14 psi is good, 25 psi is god! well it will make power, till it doesnt any more lol, to safely make power the supporting mods need to be in place and most ppl skimp on them unfortunately

:wtfru: Too much boost plus :naws: on the stock components just finds the weaknesses.

All that "extra" boost keeps my friend Kurt busy at the shop. :lol:
