Last week I was up in Connecticut for work. It was a pretty good week despite a general lack of sleep, a pesky sinus badness and the craziness that comes from being around my coworkers. Well, the craziness isn’t exactly a drawback - that part is kind of fun. My boss was in town too and it was good to see her for a change. Things around/above me have just become rather fraught with politics, intrigue and all that lovely BS. Maybe I’m just noticing it now because I was onsite. I got back the first week of October to play more in the dark waters. For some reason, while I usually hate this, I’m vaguely amused and actually contemplating which cards to play when and to whom. This scares me.
I got home Thursday night. The flight actually arrived in PHL early. Freaky, I know! Friday I drove to an appointment and discovered that my car has completely lost all engine power and has become very very loud. I’ll be calling my mechanic back, haggling a bit probably, and also getting another quote on the repair. I also have a friend who could conceivably do the replacement for me, but if I can get it done nearby for cheaper, I don’t have to have him go out of his way. And if there’s something else wrong… well, I can re-evalute. For a while it looks like I am going to be without a vehicle. Handily, I don’t use my car much anyway so it’s only a minor pain.
I should go test drive new Subarus and Minis.
