Tipping a Mechanic?

Asking because I want to know better for next time. Had spent 1500 on new suspension front end and wheel alignment. As I was leaving the lot, another mechanic knocked on my window and said “you’re not going to tip him?(the mechanic who worked on my car)” I felt terrible and gave him some cash. Are you supposed to tip your mechanic in general?

Degree Conferral - Hiring

Hello,

My school is delaying my degree being conferred until the end of the summer. I need my degree to be conferred so that I may receive my initial certification and accept the job offer which I recently acquired.

Has anybody encountered a similar situation? I’m fearing that my school would rescind their offer after hearing this. Just need some advice/reassurance

Guitar burnout from Long time player

Guitar Player here in mid 30's! Been playing since I was a kid and pursued jazz guitar in college, living on the west coast and actively gigging/teaching. I feel a sense of severe burnout and lack of interest in the guitar lately. I've tried taking up some other instruments and taking breaks, which has helped, but I still feel just stuck with the guitar and sort of disinterested in it sonically. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, and if so, how did you get out of it? I'm longing to find the love that I used to have for the instrument before it became my career.
