I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

The term, the way it was explained to me, does not involve actual donuts.

And you'll notice I didn't go there, and I did that on purpose, because now there are all these mental images I'd rather not have. Pardon me while I hunt down a squeegee for my brain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dana, since it's an email, you could get away with opening with "Good Morning" or something like that, I think?

and I have no idea when I'll have time to get it replaced.

It should only take a couple of minutes to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Once I've found the bulb, and found the instructions (the manual says "see dealer") sure. But the prequisites take time, and I don't have much of that.

I don't much use greetings in email. Which, given that everyone else does, must make me seem abrupt and rude, but it's always seemed awkward and unnecessary. Also, my day is not going so hot at the moment.

Instructions, mastructions. You just unscrew the socket from behind the headlight, pull out the bulb, and pop in the new one.

ita and msbelle need to be given new days.

ita, bribe someone to take your car when you are in a meeting and drive it to the nearest autoparts store. Usually the store people will install the new bulb you've purchased if you ask and sometimes even if you don't (which I will do next time the driver's side bulb goes. Passenger's is easy. Driver's requires skinned knuckles, swearing and potential electrocution.)

Hahahaha. You have not met the hell contraption that is my driver's side headlight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Which, given that everyone else does, must make me seem abrupt and rude, but it's always seemed awkward and unnecessary.

Yeah, that's sort of how I feel. Funny how job-hunting turns me into a sulky child.

Is this Jetta-specific? Because my Accord was complicated enough that even though I started, I had to take it to the shop to finish. You had to take other stuff out to get behind the headlight. Under the hood of the Jetta looks even denser.
