I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not to make light of your predicament, Strix, but I am picturing you walking away in slow motion from your car as it explodes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm picturing the driver of an AT-AT blasting Strix's car with an ion cannon after being pissed off that Strix's car is blocking the way.

-t - you imagine that because Strix rocks.
But: I feel that there is more to this story, Strix. I am sorry for the loss: a giant pita to be sure.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm going to take a stand and declare that cars that basically explode are a bad thing.
I would like to expand that statement to include cars that completely, literally, figuratively, comprehensively, or partly explode.
Proposed: Cars that *ly explode are a bad thing.
Can I get seconds?

Strix, I'm reading between the lines that you are okay, yes? Any damage was to the car?
Side note: the reports I was waiting to be updated on Friday are still not available. The report I prepare that depends on those reports is supposed to go out today. Awesome. Not explodey car awesome, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Second.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm glad the explosion was one you could walk away from, Strix.
In other news, I may have a job. They're going to do a background check and, depending on how long that takes, I might be able to start work in a week or two. The pay's a big step down from my previous position, but it's a big step up from what I'm making now (diddly, with occasional squat). It'll be building Coursera courses for a nearby university. I interviewed for it last week, and I got to meet many of the people with whom I'll be working. They seem pretty nice and laid back.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sorry about the car, Strix, but glad to hear you were able to walk away from it.
And congratulations Calli!
