Thats one way to look at it. Its kind of fun to spend my lunchbreak in the car
fiddling around, then come back into work and declare I fixed something. Thats
more than some of my coworkers accomplish all day. Unfortunately considering
the blizzard we're having right now and my lack of a shop this shifter issue
will have to be tackled by a "real" mechanic.

Sounds like a sure-fire remedy for boredom, plenty to keep you from
suffering the idle mind/devil's playground syndrome

It may be good but OS X gives me all that and I use it. Threads are
highlighted in various colors, I'm happy to not need more passwords and
all that comes with it. Mac Mail works for me.
