I realized, looking at your list, that I could probably fix most of the things wrong with your car. Where is that teleporter, anyway?
Yeah, like you don't have enough to do! If you had a teleporter and came to Somerville, no way I'd let you touch our car! We'd have tea and scones instead. And giggle and watch DVDs. Boo-ya!
I'm used to the fact that I/we spend a lot of money on having someone conveniently located in Boston/Cambridge fix the car, usually within a business day or 2. I feel like I trust the mechanics we have now, and I'm OK with that, having had serious issues with family friends in CT fix my car (while I still lived in Somerville), take over a week or 2 to get it back, it not being done correctly, and having to deal with interpersonal bullshit with trying to get it done right. When I dumped my previous mechanic, it was like I'd broken an engagement.
Now I pay to get it done fast, right the first time, and near work, and it's all business. Heaven.
(bracing Deb lecture)
Heh, I got the party started on bracing lectures for you, Deb. you say it better anyway.
I think you have made a sane and rational decision that will ultimately increase your happiness, P-C. YOu have a little panic now, because change is scary, and yo have a lot to do. I can relate. I just figured out what I think I want to do about this whole career thing and it is suddenly up in the air if I am even going to work for a living. But the end result is going to be much more what you want than listlessly working in labs on projects you aren't that interested in for the rest of your life.
This this this.
Remember, P-C, I'm just now finally crawling out of the career I thought would be lifelong to pursue a dream I never thought I had a chance at. It's scary as hell, but it's also liberating and exciting. One. Hour. At. A. Time. You will get through this.
P-C, if you start getting to the point financially, where food, shelter, and bills are a problem, there's nothing shameful about getting a plain old job, while you work on your career.
Yeah, plain old jobs are pretty good things to have.
Nora, I like your plan so much better.
Deena, Nora is exactly right. If you were here, I don't think any of us would let you near anything that could be seen as work.
Then that's just where I want to be, because right now I have to go clean up the dirt. I don't think I can leave it any longer and pretend it's drying. Yay.
Love you guys, thanks for the hugs and snuggles.
Ok...I'm off for a day of psychiatric fun (shrink, then group). Don't talk so much while I'm gone. The last couple of days you guys have gotten all chatty. Hee!

How could we have fun without you, vw?
