I sit in a room that's kept at a very stable temp of 68 degrees for 8 hours, and I hate my job too. :loser:

 

There's a club for people like us, it's called "EVERYBODY". We meet at the bar.

Is it the cold that has you all assed up? You know there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear (clothing) choices. I would recommend trying an UnderArmor base layer (there may be a better brand but this one works for me) this will remove any sweat that you perspire prior to standing out in the cold, and finish up with some Carhartt Arctic Extreme bibs and a Jacket (C03) or a set of Coveralls. Add layers in between as necessary...

No...It's the job. :lol:

That question was more for the OP, but good to know LOL.

 

I would rather have the cold than working in the heat of summer at my job. I can't stand the feeling of sweat rolling down my butt crack at 8:00 in the morning.... It makes for a long day.

That sucks guys I love my job even when its super cold, I just throw on thermal gear and a nice warm toque! :lol:

 

The worst part of working for me is getting up in the morning I wish I could sleep until I naturally woke up and then go to work lol.

I work at a Walmart Distribution Center. I am very grateful to have to steady work. But it sure is rough. Getting up a little after 2:00 am every morning and working 12 hours shifts and sometimes working in the freezer which is 20 below!!

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.

      For as much hate as Ms. Barra receives on here, she sure is a shrewd businesswoman....
