things suck. to make a long story short, i currently have interlock on my car (yea it's terrible). and now i need to have a clean last 90 days (no fails=above .02). and now this thing decides to act like a total pain in the ass. it failed me on wed morning at .022. scrambled and got the roomie to give me a ride in. worked all day, got home, napped, decided i was gonna go out and get some food. the interlock failed me at .025. how in the hell does my BAC go up throughout the day without drinking. mind you i'm a very scheduled person, i eat the same thing for lunch everyday so there are really no changing variables that would make this out of the ordinary. got it re-calibrated yesterday afternoon, went home, napped, got up and failed it. ate dinner, tried again, fail. FUCK going back again today to see wtf they can do. the problem is going to the interlock place the guy can't really do anything besides re-calibrate it. i can write a letter to appeal my fails (which i will be doing0, but it's the government so who knows how long that will take and if they will even do anything
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
can they put a different one on your car? sounds like you got a lemon.
They gave me a new handset yesterday, so that should've fixed it really, but it didn't

I want to say my oldest sister had similar problems when she had one. I remember driving her to the place a couple of times and she finally just showed her ass (not literally) and they did something. I cant remember what though because it was a few years back and I was traumatized and thought we were going to get arrested.
Good luck though... that is a shitty situation to be in. Sorry

I've had it for about 9 months now and it had seemed to be working fine, all the sudden it's just acting up like this

i'm confused by this statemnt
Like, I think they put a new piece on her car... switched it out. Because they wanted her to keep calm and shut the fuck up.
Edit: my oldest sister is super unstable and proven medically. she has done some CRAZY shit that normal people would have been arrested for. Somehow she has managed to always walk away untouched. this is one of those times where the shop that serviced the piece on her car was like FUCK THE LAW AND PAPERWORK, GET THIS FIXED SO WE CAN GET THIS BITCH OUTTA HERE

Soooo.... I'm selling my house and a part of getting it ready to sell is fixing some minor cosmetic things, such as painting. Because of our crazy schedules, my current state and high walls/ceilings my mom enlisted her friend to come paint for us. She she said he "did this stuff on the side". I assumed this meant he was a professional painter or at least semi-professional where he did it frequently enough that he does a good job. He did one room yesterday and it looks like shit. He didn't tape off the baseboards or anything so there is paint all over them. Now he's doing my stairway and it's taking everything in me to keep my mouth shut. I appreciate him doing us this favor, but fuck. As soon as I can I'm going to have to go back and get on my hands and knees and fix all around the baseboards...
It's super frustrating because not only am I fairly good at interior painting, but I actually enjoy it a lot. So seeing someone just fuck it up so badly is really obnoxious....

oofda, that's gotta be tough to hold back, give him a beer? maybe it'll help him do better

ummm don't keep your mouth shut. if he's doing a terrible job you have every right to correct him. he's wasting his time and yours as well as materials if you're going to have to go back and fix his work.
just be polite about it and ask that he use tape. it's not big deal.

It what world do you paint and not tape things off?
Definitely a difficult situation. Is he doing it for free as a favor, or are you paying him? If it's for free, I'd find it hard to bring it up. If you're paying ANYTHING, fuck that, say something.

Pretty positive he's doing it for free. My mom kinda arranged all this. I was just told when he'd be showing up so I could be awake. But since I don't know for sure and he's her friend I feel like I can't say anything, which is why I'm not. If it was any other situation if definitely say something. 10goldbees he already did the trim, so there is really now use in saying something at this point.
The worst part too is that yesterday BEFORE he started we went around to all the rooms to discuss what I needed in each room, if anything, and we were talking about all the red paint along the ceiling in one of my bathrooms. I was telling him that on Christmas Eve one year I was tipsy and decided to paint the bathroom, DESPITE NOT HAVING TAPE and was shocked it came out as well as it did. BECAUSE WE DIDNT HAVE TAPE. Implying that tape is needed... So it's not like the topic never came up,,,
Also, I just went upstairs for something while he was in the garage and thank goodness I did because my loft is gray and the stairs are being painted tan and he got a ton of tan on the gray side of a corner. I was able to wipe most of it off, but a little bit of it dried already. Ugh. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist?

Whoa. That turned into a rant. Sorry.
That really sucks. I don't think you are a perfectionist, you are trying to sell your house. You are being a realist. If it looks like shit, you are going to have to redo it.

What he probably heard, "Nice, this is a down ass chick that's all for a tape-less paint job!"
Or he just doesn't give a fuck. No wonder he doesn't do this full time, he has no skill at it.
Fun painting tip: I found keeping some sand around to be very handy. If you get a drip on cement (or anything really), just throw some sand on it quickly and rub it around. The sand grains pick up the paint, and you get some abrasive action from the sand to make sure all of it comes up. At least that's what I did when I did alot of painting back in the day.

Man... I just disagree with you there. If he's actively messing up your house then you absolutely have to say something no matter how it came about. It's your house. If he does a terrible job it will affect your bottom line. Just be cool about it!
I'll drop it though. Sorry you have that to deal with on top of all the other craziness in your life.

Don't blame this on me! I will cutchu!
For real though, if anything this is making me appreciate the fact that I do actually have some skill at interior painting. Because holy crap I don't think I could've done this poorly if I tried. Like I said, I painted a bathroom half drunk and did a better job than this.
Oh! And I forgot the best part! He didn't even take off the plate covers around the switches and outlets of the room yesterday........ So there's that too.

Yes and no. He's messing up the trim, and that will need to be redone. But on the whole, re-doing the trim will be quicker and easier then having to paint EVERYTHING from scratch. At least that's how I look at it.

Ugh, I really want to. I wish I would've brought it up earlier or right when he got here today and mentioned it in a "hey, I looked at the room you did yesterday and..." Blah blah blah kind of way. The problem now though is that I think I've let it fester too much and I don't think it would come out polite at all. I also avoid conflict like the fucking plague.
