I can check my oil level. Might have to look in the owner's
manual to do it. Sad (as Donnie Trump would say).

Not true Dave....You've a lifetime of experience in..Was it IT
stuff? Computer Programming? You haven't spoken much about your
former career much...

I was a COBOL programmer. I was going to lose my job back
around 2008 and I took a lesser job with a cut in pay for my
last 7 years. Glad I did, because now I'm retired. My last 7
years I worked at the DMV - doing tag renewals, car titles,
driver license renewals. It was a job I loved retiring from.

COBOL, so that was Linux stuff huh? Musta worked for a pretty
big corp I guess.
Everybody hates going to the DMV for anything down here because
they are so understaffed it takes forever to get anything done.
I usually go to an office about 50 miles west of here in a small
town called Columbus. While it's a small office, there's never a
line to contend with and the staff is country friendly. That's
where I took the Lad to get his driving license tests and all.

One big reason it takes so long is what I sometimes call the
"bureaucratic spider web". Procedures, statutes, multiple sets
of photocopies for offsite backup - just a whole lot of
horseshit created by the assholes who pull the strings up in
Tallahassee (our state capital). You had to be very careful
about your work, following "made up" convoluted, nit picky
procedures. Sometimes you'd make an error, and maybe a month
later it would come back to bite you in the ass - the manager
would come to you, asking "do you remember this situation a
month back ?". Hell no I don't remember it.
Somebody, with the proper expertise, needs to look at work flow
and process and come up with ways to reduce the bottlenecks. It
was a job with frustration built into it from the top. The
software sucked - it was old and had been patched and
re-patched. They may have improved that part of things by now.
But it's past history now.
