a note from my boss

I won't explain the circumstances; I like the idea of letting you all imagine them. So for some mysterious reason, I brought home this letter for goldbug (et al):

To whom it may concern:

Julia had the unpleasant duty of sweeping, mopping, and sanitizing during her time here @ Papa John's. Please have mercy on her and exclude her from her quite necessary duties of cleaning the cat litter for this one evening. Thank you for your consideration and time in this matter.

Sincerely,
R. Dale Martinez (signature)
Manager
Papa John's

I think maybe he should've written one to Pixel as well, saying "Please excuse the fact that your litterbox won't be clean until tomorrow, and don't punish Julia by using anything else as your restroom."

oh, yeah.

32.5

This is a count-up, not a count-down.

I know I'm being dumb here because I want people to see that number increase and feel properly appalled by its increase, but I don't want anyone to actually know what I'm counting. So just bear with me.

The number will quite definitely hit 40. Let's hope it doesn't go over 46.

As to other, happier, numbers... 13 days until I leave, 15 days until I see Jason!

oh, yeah.

car woes pt. II

Guess where I just came back from?

Ron's Automotive!

This morning I called Caleb and asked him to come in early so I could sleep in. I did so until 11:30, drove to Pad Thai, got my lunch special to go, returned to my car, turned the key in the ignition, and.... well, the fan and the radio and all the accessories turned on, but the engine didn't. Pooh.

Luckily I added the towing/etc coverage on my insurance last week. I called them up, got a tow truck (ate inside pad thai while I waited), and got to the mechanic. They can't look at it until morning, though.

I told the mechanic that I was going to bring the car in for a full inspection in 5 days anyway, so hey... at least it died here and not on the road to Boston. So now I'll get this fixed AND the complete inspection done.

Now, just how to pay for it...
