Woot! My dad may have a strong lead on a new old job. He must have gotten five emails/phonecalls from friends and former colleagues telling him about a tech writer position, and they're all raving about how they still use his manuals and he already knows the job and the tools, and the cranky person who was denying him re-entry is now gone.
My mother and brother will be so happy to see him employed again. Apparently he's driving them bonkers floundering around the house, being noodgy and pinching pennies tighter than usual (he was a Scrooge even when gainfully employed).
Happy birthday Sox!
It's nice to hear good news on the employment front, Juliebird.
OK, my friend just called to confirm because her other friend bailed. I'll go, I'll go!
So if my brake pad light went on just as I was getting to work this morning, and the first place I called for an appointment can't take me until Thursday (because they are supposed to be the best around), it's okay to wait until then to take it in, right? I won't die in a fiery brakeless death before then?
Do your brakes feel any different?
I am not an expert, but I don't know if I'd expect your brakes to fail with no warning. And if it's specifically a brake pad light, it probably just means your pads need to be replaced?
I am really not an expert.
It is just a brake pad light, and I've been told that they come on well before the pads really truly need to be replaced.
Just get nervous at the idea, I guess.

No, that's not what it means. Check your brake fluid level. Either it's low, or one of your two hydraulic brake systems is failing. (There are two for safety/redundancy.)
Unless you have some expensive luxury car, the brake light won't come on to tell you if your pads are worn.

To me this reads, "bring the car in on Thursday." Signed, I could learn how to fix/check things on my car, but I have no interest, and it would just become another chore.
