I have a teeny bottle of touch-up paint that I picked up at the auto-supply store. They had a reference book so I could get the correct shade (of white). Less than $5 if I remember correctly.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FTR, I'm slightly angry about working a full day today, but at least I'm not in the all-day meeting currently happening in the conference room with a bunch of higher-ups, so I may be here, but I'm not working much actually.
Related to not working, was it actually CSI where Kate Walsh played a translady? In my head it was definitely Law & Order, but apparently not!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sarameg, if it's to the metal, get it taken care of. Otherwise it will rust. If it's just a surface scratch, buffing should help. K's suggestion of a paint pen is also good. The dealership can also give you a small jar of touch-up paint too. But take care of it sooner rather than later, otherwise oxidation and sun damage will make the disparity in the new vs. old paint more apparent.
I'm sorry everyone is being nibbled to death by ducks today. I hope it improves quickly.

That's what the internet told me, Beverly! I have such a strong image of a courtroom scene, but that must be mixed up with when she was on L&O.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a regular doctor's appointment in 45 minutes. Couldn't get opthalmologist, and sticking within the UCLA network seems better than finding urgent care wherever. Ironically, a bit, I know where urgent care is near work, but I'm alternating between being headachey because one eye is teared up, or because it's covered up.
deviantArt is strict about IP, so I wasn't able to order what I wanted. In retaliation (that'll larn 'em), I've set up a redbubble account. They have the worst chat support to date, but a very wide range of print options. I've put up a few bits of fanart and some of my unending beach shots.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
After hanging out nearby for nearly 6 hours, the guy ran out of time to vet the car. He was VERY apologetic, and I could have simply walked home (it's a mile), but on the other hand, it's not like this is a hurry-up job.
Back on Tuesday....
