In which I get called “ma’am” four times.

While driving between the post office and work, I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was going totally apeshit, bouncing all over the place. I glanced up at the cling in the corner of my windshield and realized I was a year past due for an oil change, so I drove right past work and went up to Fesler’s.

The pressure gauge is back to normal, but now it appears I need all kinds of other maintenance: belts, tranny fluid, filters, and crap like that. I guess this is what happens when one drives a ’92.

In other news, two companies will be moving in to the building I work in. Because one will require a lock to their suite, a new wall has been built… Right. Next. To. My. Desk.

There’s superfine drywall dust all over my shit today, and it’s pissing me off. The mud on my computer cables is irritating too, but on the other hand I guess it might be fun working in the same building with the Obama Iowa campaign team. Young, fresh-faced idealists who think the political system actually works could be very inspiring!

    tranny fluid? does that mean hormone treatments? is your car going in for a sex change?

    Today’s crop of freshly scrubbed activists are largely surburbanite dipshits with little imagination and an overwhelmingly distorted sense of entitlement. I wish I could be there to watch their crestfallen faces when Obama finally caves to the Hilary train and the whole of the democratic party disappears up its collective asshole.

    Cheney in ’08. That’s not a promotion, it’s a prediction. And I shudder to think…

    “Inspiring” is slang for “eye-candy.” I don’t care if their little entitled heads are empty! *giggle* 😉 -m

    Ah, keef your imagination is running wild again. Cheney doesn’t want the lead role – that already belongs to another family. Jeb in ’08! 😉

    I’m starting to understand the formula for getting male readers to comment: the topic must be consumer electronics, operating systems, or politics. Note to self: write more about those things. -m

    Inspiring? Perhaps, more likely you will be gagging on the reality they can’t see in front of them.
