What vintage is your Honda hybrid? My IMA is going as well (though two dealers have told me it's not, fuckos) and I think my starter is going. I have a 2004 Civic.

2003. The starter clutch problems are endemic to the the 2003 and 2004 Honda hybrids. The IMA is under warranty up to 150,000 for some of the batteries. You should take it to a Honda dealer to see if you're still covered.

Maria, great news!

Hec, sorry about the car. I hope you can find some way to manage it.

I picked the pit first try.

Catahoulas are pretty but apparently pretty difficult.

I am kinda fried. Long week. Came into the office this morning to learn that the managers made a hiring decision--they promoted into a senior position someone who has been seen to sleep at his desk. Also, he's less knowledgeable than several other people. Also, he didn't even make the list of qualified candidates on the first try. Also, he's not exactly a go-getter. Such a disappointment, and since my new boss is one of the folks who made the selection, I have had to downgrade my hopes for him.

After the last three days, I have to acknowledge that the organization I work for is severely messed up, organizationally. When good work gets done, it really does seem to be despite our best efforts. ::sigh::

And now I should lever myself off the couch and do laundry and so forth.

Ouch Consuela. Is your resume ready?

ita - I have been trying to kill time between now and SPN by cruising Provacateuse. Which has lead me to wish you had a weapons grouping. Oh, and there is a shot in Moneyball where Pitt is covering his face with one hand and that covers the whole screen. Want.

Enough of my shallow musings.

~ma to Daniel, Maria's DH, and everyone who is in need.

Took me and S. doing it together four tries to pick the pit, and my first try was the Bull Terrier.

Consuela, I hope you can find something excellent as soon as you're ready. Your office sounds just awful.

Skipped ahead for a quick question: Do I watch Supernatural or Fringe live? I have no recording capability so I have to catch up on the web. What would you watch?

Ugh, David. Suckola.

Also ugh, Consuela.

Tom, I deleted and reposted your Good Stuff so the picture will show up on people's dashboards.

How should I be submitting those?

When you go to submit, do you click where it says "Submit a text post"? There you can pick "Submit a photo," and I think that would do it.

That is a pile of suck, Hec. I'm sorry.

Likewise, I'm sorry things are screwed up at work, Consuela.

Successful dinner experiment: chorizo, potato, onion, red pepper, arugula, and apple. Yum.
