I spent far too long looking into this and other distractions. I did go and tape a curtain liner from the dollar store over my Civic engine. I cut off bits for each bolt hole, put down some Gorilla Tape, and cut holes for each bolt hole.

I just do not know how well it will work. Sure, there is oil in an engine, but it does not seem like there is any there, yet not even the Gorilla Tape is sticking to the aluminum. I guess that I get to hold it down with one hand and drill with the other.

I really hope that it works!

One client is in a group home and had four no-shows last month. He was supposed to go on probation if he no-showed again within the next month, but Office Lady gave him one more chance--and then told me to confirm with the manager each and every week.

Seriously? Is that reasonable?

So, the manager confirmed, but apparently that was after he called up staff and had them pick up the kid from school. He was sent home early for behavior, so when I showed up the staff said that we shouldn't try.

You really think the manager should have mentioned this instead of confirming.
