vw, is the place just a little messy and could benefit from a five-minute pickup?
Yeah, pretty much. And I need to do dishes, which is another 15 minutes or so. I'm just feeling REALLY lazy.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But this is something we can work with. Go pick up all of the dirty dishes and put them in or near the sink. That is all. Then come back here.

move out and draw fire
Hey erika - Joss has said that he has an idea for a police procedural.
Other than that, I got nothing. I need to take the trash out.

Actually, I've taken care of a bunch of stuff. Now I'm gonna take a break for a little bit and then do dishes. I got season 4 Buffy from my brother this weekend, so maybe I'll watch a bit.

All done.Good! Now ...

But taking care of some things and then giving yourself a treat was exactly the direction I was going to go in. Watch an episode and then do dishes. Then take another break and do a five-minute pickup and take another break.
Someone nuked their lunch. This is not going to help me in my quest to stay at work.

In theory I'll get my car back tonight. I have a semi-irrational fear that getting the cracked cylinder head fixed ($1800-$2000) is just the start of a long slide toward, as erikaj so eloquently put it, buying a new car from the inside out.
I just started to pull my butt from the morass (so to speak) of car related debt. Now I'm sort of quietly freaking out that it's all gonna start again. Car-repair~ma, please? Or non-freakout~ma? Heartening stories of cars that had their cylinder heads repaired/replaced and went on to serve their owners glitch-free for another year or three? Pretty please?
ETA: Non-migraine~ma to Cass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Calli, do they know why the cylinder head cracked? If it was due to overheating then you should be sure to fix the cause of that overheating.

The thing is, the car hasn't overheated, at least not in the 3 years I've owned it. I'm really cautious about that, because my last car had all kindsa coolant issues. The engine temperature gauge hasn't cracked the half-way point. Of course, the gauge could be busted, but it does move between 0 and 1/4 (3/8ths at most) quite sensibly.
ETA: It just started going through a bit of oil a couple of weeks ago. When I checked the oil last Thursday I also glanced in the coolant reservoir and saw that it was tan colored and opaque. So I took it to my usual service station and said, essentially, wtf? They sent me to the dealer. Oy.
