Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday, Sparky!

Happy travels, sarameg!

Happy shredding, Connie. Ugh. I don't think they should even send those; you shouldn't even have to see them.

Art Crawl!!!

So ridiculously tired today. At my counseling appointment I could barely string words together.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Sparky!

I don't know if all university students do this, but around campus, the wi-fi names are freaking hilarious. Today I saw "Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi" and "I Purrfurr Cats."

I got paid today, my account is already overdrawn. Gah!

Not helping with that: my failed attempt this morning to register my car apparently went through. So not only have I paid twice, but I wasted an hour and half of work time and panic going to the MVC.

And, I found out I didn't get another job for which I interviewed. The candidate who did get it had more experience in the field, and the person who told me pointed me at other jobs at the university, saying I was a strong candidate and it would be good for me to apply. Which I've done. Still, I'm a tad down about it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know that feel, Calli. I didn't even get a call/email (even after an interview? Bad form). Just an update on the applicant system.

ION, I literally just sold Hubby's car. A guy with a truck that says "We buy junk cars" knocked on the door, asked if I wanted to sell it, I said yes, the thing started up. I asked $300, he offered $150, I said 2, he said 175, I said 2. He gave me a doubtful look, I said "It runs," he frowned, I gazed back, he said OK.

I signed over the title, they drove it out of the driveway under its own power, put it on their truck, and it's gone.

I thought of mentioning the Mustang in the backyard, but this was a just sketchy enough transaction that I figured I'd wait for something a bit more legit.

Bummer, DebetEsse. I'm sorry.

Congrats, Connie. I'm glad you had a solution show up on your doorstep.

Hah--I'm spending my afternoon trying to figure out how to reformat my old netbook so I can get rid of it!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maybe someone will knock on your door and tell you they buy old netbooks! (MAJOR bonus points if they drive up in Connie's hubby's car.)
