So i took it back and the little #$%*head behind the counter tested my battery with a freakin multi-meter! Said it was all good... he didnt even know what a hydrometer or a load tester was. Id never go to that place for any advice.

the only reason i went to them was because they were open at the time and all the good ones were closed

I get off at 4pm. I work 4 10hr shifts. So I always have a 3 day weekend Working Sunday through Wednesday off Thursday through Saturday. Sunday is a trade off for the schedule. I'm not complaining, actually kinda like it

Yes and no. The museum is busiest on weekends but where on a skeleton crew so we mostly just watch over the plant.
