Mine goes off when the gas cap is loose.

me too. I went through a big hassle trying to get my car fixed only to find that it was the gas cap. I couldn't decide whether I was more annoyed or embarrassed.

Thrive to spite them

It's annoying because even when the gas cap is tightned my car can take awhile before it will stop doing that.

And I have a tendancy to ignore it thinking it's the gas cap. So far I'm right but one day I'll be wrong. Why can't they just have a stupid Gas Cap icon to light up whenit's loose?

I ignored it once, for much longer than I should have. My power steering hose sprung a leak and the pump seized up. Let me tell you, that was an expensive way to find out you can't ignore the bugger just because it has the propensity to be something insignificant.

What is WRONG with the youth today? I saw a woman wearing a wrinkled, faded, black, knee length, cap sleeve black dress over a long sleeved mulberry tshirt with a pair of olive green pants!!!

What. the. fuck. Not just the trend of short sleeve over long sleeve, but dresses with pants. Bitch, wait for summer if it's too cold to wear the dress by itself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like post-fashion.

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

I have to admit, although I've never done it, I do like some instances of short sleeves over long, and dresses over pants. It's totally not a weather thing. It's a contrast in fabrics thing. I like the dress to be simple, cut on the bias with a bit of a sheen to it, and the pants...usually jeans, but I could see it with cargo pants as long as they weren't too bulky.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok - I'm home frm school and work.

The interview went GREAT! I was in there for about an hour and laughing almost the whole time. I think...no, I *know* I would love working with them. The position s brand new - I'd get to make it my own.

I should here by end of next week, and if they offer it to me, I'm jumping all over it.

Thank you all so much for the ~~ma and the good thoughts!! Kepp your appendages crossed!!

sounds like HORROR.

so, I can't decide if I should make an effort to give my student assistant her graduation present. She was supposed to work this week after exams, I told her I was taking her out for a drink on her last day. I emailed her to find out when she was coming in, and she told me that she had decided to go home (45 minutes away), but might be in on Thursday. If she doesn't come in, I don't know if I want to chase her down to give her her present. And do I want to go through the effort of wrapping it?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's just great. I hope they do offer it to you, you've spent way too long working for the poster child for the self-absorbed.
