So, I have slight internet access now--I have a local library card! Apparently there are filtered and unfiltered terminals, and I had the bad luck to sit at a filtered one. This means that I can't view the "skip 15" page of my flist because of the excess of filtered content on it. I'm very curious as to what it says, now :-P I'm not allowed to chat on these computers, however, so...*pout*--no AIM here.
I just had around $600 worth of work done to my poor little car. The front brakes were out (which I knew I needed replaced from the terrible grinding when I break that started up three days ago and was the big reason I took the car in), and I needed my tumblers replaced in the ignition (which I also knew going in--not the main reason I took it in, as it really just needs to be re-keyed because of chipped teeth on the key or out-of-place threads for the key or something--it still works so long as the key is fitted in just perfectly or left in the ignition), but then my sway bar/stabilizer control links were torn, also, and I was just about due for an oil change :-P Long story shorter, it really wasn't even safe to be driving. Cars are so much trouble. Thank the gods that I have a job now that doesn't require selling my soul to have the money to pay for the work.
Anyway, I need to be off now. I've only 20 minutes left on this session, and I have things I should be getting back to the apartment to do anyway. Tomorrow I'm going up to Clio to visit my parents, and then I open on Saturday and work 12-9 or 10ish shifts Sunday and Monday. Exciting.
