So I get to the mechanic. The guy checks the computer to print out the record. "I'm sorry, it isn't ready yet. We didn't get the part until 4." WHAT?! "I called at 4:45, and was told it was ready." t do a couple iterations on this theme, offers me a loaner for the mixup & misinformation Guy goes to check in the garage, to check with the guy doing the work on "Miss Lastname's car ". Comes back "As you can see, they've still got it in there." "Uh, that's not my car. Mine's out front." "Oh crap, your name & car again?"

He'd clicked on the record of the other female Lastname whose car was being worked on by the same guy today, by accident.

So anyway, much laughter. He goes to get the keys. They aren't hanging on the hooks. Aren't on the desks. At this point I'm just sitting in a chair, laughing helplessly as three guys trash the office looking for the keys, apologize all over themselves and calling the mechanic who has just left. He pulls up. Main guy says "wait a minute" and runs to the back. He comes back "he left them in his vest!"

Not counting the return-call thing, they really aren't usually this crazy. I think it was just the curse of me. It's par for the course, lately.

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

I've been insanely sleepy all day. Fall asleep at the desk sleepy. And this after overlepopokg (that was supposed to be oversleeping). Having the head hurt isn't helping.

You don't want to know how many naps were taken in the composition of this post.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You aren't driving home I hope?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tired. What else is new?(It would be nice to have a night's sleep without waking up a bunch of times, I'm just saying)

Car's in the shop and I'm not picking it up today. About $700 worth of stuff done to it, which hurts. Something about oxygen and a catalytic converter. And a replaced windscreen.

Lord, my carstuff is contagious. I'm sorry you're so damned sleepy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ita, if you see DH on the bus, say "Hi."

My big accomplishment for today was mopping the kitchen floor. It was Dis.Gus.Ting. Seriously. And it took like an hour, which is a crack up if you know how small my kitchen is.

Wow, the temperature dropped 30° in an hour here and we're getting 45mph winds. Also, intermittent power outages at the office, so we all knocked off early.

I resisted the temptation to buy milk and bread at the grocery store since I don't drink the one and am stocked up with the other.

Toilet paper! You can go buy toilet paper!

Actually I did, though that was due to being down to my last roll rather than weather-induced hysteria.
