The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies)

As a side note, my residual on my 2023 Rogue with 15,000 miles on it, is $36,000. I asked dealer what they can do on that number. Maybe I'll buy it. Dealer said "it is what it is". I said, OK, but I can buy a brand new 2023 with 14,950 miles LESS on it for $31,000. How does that make sense? Once again, was told "it is what it is".

I found a brand new 2023 Rogue that is still in transit. I realize it's coming from Japan, but WTF?? The 2024's have been out for 3 months already...

Anyway, I call to inquire... $11,000 off the sticker price. $42,000 down to $31,000. So far so good.

Ask dealer for lease payment. Looking for 0 down 36 month, 12000 miles a year and I'm pre-approved by Nissan credit for way more than what this should cost. I give the salesman my Nissan finance confirmation number so I don't get my credit dinged. Salesman says they will have their finance manager get me numbers...

Three hours later, get a text for FINANCING numbers. I explain once again that I want LEASE numbers. He apologizes and says he'll get back to me...

An hour later he sends over lease numbers starting with $2000 and going up to $6000 down... I explain again that im not putting anything down, it's a lease! He says he'll get back to me.

1.5 hours later he sends me lease numbers with 0 down... looks enticing until I notice the lease is for 10,000 miles a year ansld not the 12,000 I need... I text him back...

Finally get his number and it's $120 a month more than what their payment calculator says... I ask why...

Finally was told that "they take care of their own first" I ask what that means? Loyal Nissan buyer? Someone who has bought from your dealership before? My skin color? My religion?

He hung up...

Take care of their own? WTH

Been a month since starting the new job, and absolutely IN LOVE with it. The days go by fast and the weeks go by faster.

Left my previous job the same day of giving notice, and felt very liberating to just walk out.

Nothing worse than trudging off to a job you hate. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.

Worked for a huge printing company back in my yute. I think I was 23 YO... first day, I clock in 15 minutes early and get to my press and start prepping... everyone in the place was staring at me like I had three eyes.. manager comes up to me and says if I ever start that press before the buzzer goes off I was fired. I quit on the spot and left. 2 days later they called me back with almost double my pay. Lasted 6 more months before I went out to lunch and never went back. Worst 6 months of my life.

Life is too short to be doing bullsh!t you don't like or putting up with it.

Whoever said "you can't judge a book by its cover" was a dumb@$$. You ABSOLUTELY can:

1. I wish each person would come with a 30-second preview. That way, I know what I'm getting myself into.
2. If I had to choose between reading a food magazine or a nudie magazine, I would know which magazine is which by the cover. (And I would absolutely choose the nudie magazine.)

My former manager was an absolute piece of sh!t, and I made it very obvious that I did not like nor respect this individual as a manager or person.

PSA: Life is too short. If you hate your job and/or have to really try hard beyond a reasonable amount of effort to go into work, it's time to look elsewhere.
