Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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

Allyson has the space hookups.

My dealership will drop me off at a fair range of places, but will not pick up, so I have to rent a car for a weekday oil change anyway. Really bumps up the cost.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Mine works basically the same way, so I was planning on taking a bus back to the dealership, but that doesn't work when there is no car to pick up.

They just called back and said they will give me a loaner, so now we are negotiating how to get it to me or me to it.

I am guessing I won't be staying at work until closing time, either way.

Yeah, I don't work anywhere that civilised anymore. Those were the days. I'm glad they're giving you a loaner--they frelled you here.

On the upside, I'll get to leave early!

Maybe.

I have to save my leaving early hours to pick my sister up from the airport Wednesday in a timely fashion. And I still have to tidy and clean. And replace my shredder. I burnt out the engine with my last flurry of shredding. I didn't realise that it had a per day max on it. Oops. I have a lot of electronics piling up to toss. I've been assuming it's not okay to just dump a busted printer/DVD player/computer/shredder--am I being over cautious?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, you should look for a place that does electronics recycling.

Nerd Neighbor Update

Guy: (very long, blissful stretch) Sam, have I ever told you that I love food?

Sam: Yes. I believe you have told me that you love food.

Guy: I do, I love food.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I made crab cakes for dinner. I'm highly recommending Zatarain's crab cake mix for a quick & easy recipe for the cakes.

And now they're comparing the contents of their desk drawers and debating the usefulness of each item in their upcoming stabbing rampage.

And talking about local Korean restaurants and explaining Korean food to the novices. And debating whether mutt or pedigree dog would taste better. something about pedigrees being stringy. I'm disturbed by the one guy's air of knowledge.

I have a faint yet hopeful feeling the Goodwill near me might accept electronics. But, man, the amount of tech crap I see dumped (but not in! They know they're being bad) our dumpster...and the pizza boxes in the recycling bin. Why can't people behave?
