I did not get to see Mxpx and I am pissed. But my car hit 10000 miles right when I got home.

Saturday, September 22, 2007I arrived at the coffee shop a few minutes late. Sitting outside, I saw a redhead who looked like the woman I expected to meet, but to be safe I pretended not to notice and walked by her and into the coffee shop. Glancing around quickly, I saw no other likely persons who met the description I looked for.
I walked back out the door and introduced myself.
“Hi, I’m Me, are you The One I’m Waiting For?”
“Yes, I am, how are you?”
“I’m good, I’m good. Sorry, I’m a bit frazzled, I just backed my car into a light pole.”
I applied for a job yesterday. I attached a nice resume. If I get this job I’ll be making about two and a half times as much money as my current job and I’ll essentially be guaranteed what I’ll be doing for the next 2+ years of my life. I’ll find out in four to six weeks probably. So, if you’ve ever wanted me to get a great job, pray hard!
I really ought to start watching a certain TV show to get prepared.
In other news, things at Photo are going well. I’m getting down most of the processes and procedures and most of the problems I’m having result from a lack of training on cashiering. I need to ask Jarred if I can get the training for that.
Paycheck is in two weeks. I’m looking forward to that ’cause I’d like to go on a road trip. On Friday I fixed up my engine a bit. I don’t smell anything burning while I’m driving now and I generally consider that a good sign. The air filter was filthy likely as a result of the oil likely as a result of not changing it for a long time. In the words of Phil, “That’s baaad!” Seriously though, synthetic oil lasts longer.
I need to take my car in to get break-related parts checked. My rotors seem to be going bad again based on the feel of my car while driving and my pads might be getting low. It’s not squealing too much, but I need to check. I probably need to change another wheel to make the silly rotors stop wearing out. They’ve worn out (at least) twice in the last six years and that seems excessive.
I also cleaned a lot of acid off my battery. My mom looked at it and freaked out due to recent battery problems with her car. Baking soda water does the trick, apparently. Unfortunately, the sewer will get the acid once it washes away.
Well, I’m going to go do something productive. Goodbye.
