It annoys me when I have a ticket that takes maybe 15 minutes to do and I get e-mail two days before the due date asking for the status. I have to interrupt what I’m doing to give an ETA on something that isn’t close to the due date yet. I could see if maybe […]
Read More People have no patienceOn Sunday afternoon, I dug my bike out of the basement and rode a few miles to Autozone. I plopped down on a jump start kit. (It’s heavy, so it wasn’t easy riding back from the store with that swinging from my handlebars.) I charged it up and the next morning…nothing. Damn thing didn’t work. […]
Read More The car works again…Called Saturn. The guy on the phone was less than helpful. “It sounds like you need a new battery.” I suggested it may just be the alternator instead. “Yeah, it could be that.” The earliest they could look at it was Tuesday at 3pm. Ugh. By that time, the battery will probably be dead anyway. […]
Read More Car updateIt took me over 2 1/2 hours to get home from work. It usually takes about 40 minutes. My car wouldn’t start in the Monster parking lot, so I called AAA. An hour later, some guy from Jack’s Towing in Maynard (which is only about 5 minutes away) shows up. He forgot his jumpstart kit. […]
Read More Cars suck…especially mine this week.I should stop going for oil changes. They always get REALLY expensive. This was my 90,000 mile maintenance thingie. There were a few problems I was aware of (like the fog light cable being disconnected, a low coolant warning light that was on, and a slow leak in my right rear tire) but they found […]
Read More My car…again…I forgot to mention it, but I went to court to fight that ticket I got for having an expired inspection sticker. (It expired in September and I was stopped on October 30th.) I presented the inspection test results taken less than three hours after I got the ticket where the car passed and simply […]

Read More Track this!I still intend to write about Katsucon, but I’ve been busy trying to catch up on stuff. (I finally caught up on Digimon Frontier tonight.) …but I just had to poke my nose in here to say that I bought a TiVo. It should be shipped to the office next Wednesday or so. I used […]
Read More Record this…We have a department meeting today about due dates. *rolls eyes* Great. It’s going to be one of those times when they talk generally about procedures and blah blah blah…but everyone’s eyes are on me. I’m going to be sinking low into my chair and wishing I was anyplace else. The dentist’s office, hitting my […]
Read More Due dates…For the record, it has now been FIVE HUNDRED DAYS since I was supposed to get a new kitchen floor. I think I’ll start including a note with the current count with my next rent check. 🙂 To recap, my current kitchen floor’s not BAD…but I moved in expecting a new kitchen floor. They wanted […]
