Default Fixing cars in the snow at work is fun >>>

So a coworker of mine who has a vw (vag content) had his battery die today (left his lights on). Tryed jumping with a booster pack and another car and nothing. So now I find myself helping to push his car out of the way and removing his battery in the parking lot at work while the snow is falling (I always have tools). And of course since it is a vag car, there were plastic covers that had to be removed. Another coworker took him to sears to buy a new one, I threw it in (luckily the snow stopped by then) and he was back in business.

This was my cure for boredom at work today.

Default I'm always doing stuff like that >>>

fixing flats, patching electrical issues, raising windows in the rain when the motor goes bad, changing spark plugs/fluids in the parking lot at work, checking for oil leaks in nightdweller's TT (in that cold a$$ garage), etc. My favorite was a long time ago, I get a page from my friend "I just got 2 flat tires can I borrow your spare", it didn't fit but we tried.
