Default Worst day ever

So i work at firestone, im a tech there and get a 95 dohc neon in my stall. Miscelleneous oil leak. So im like whatever, easy fix. My dumb ass suggests Valve cover gasket, and oil pan gasket. both lokked like they leaked so ya. My service manager sells the job pays 1.9 for the oil pan gasket, and .7 for the valve cover gasket. I get it all done like in 2.5 hours woohoo. i go on lucnch, as im puling back into firestone i see my boss looking around under the hood with the customer. I get out of my car i can here it rod knocking from the back parking lot. Dry dip stick oh wtf. so i find out it needs a camshaft timing seal. ok whatever, i start working gettting to the motor mount on the left side. Weld in the frame breaks and the nut spins freely ****. i think for a minute. then i get a jack and a block of wood and jack it by the oil pan up a couple inches. I pry up on the mount, while my buddy gets at the nut. Ya no dice. OIl pan cracks oil everywhere. worst day ever for me at firestone litterally worst!!!!

Sounds like a good reason never to take your car to Firestone.
