I should have stayed in bed yesterday and today. Last night my car broke a belt in the engine, so I called the repair shop this morning. Of course I forgot to leave them a key, so I had to drop off the key in my lunch hour. Turns out that the belt broke because the water pump seized up, the same one that has been replace twice in that car. Well, I decided to go ahead and get the oil changed while it is in the shop and replace that tire that had been worn down to the threads (little wires sticking out everywhere). And you know who much it is gonna cost to replace that water pump. And I had to get i towed as well, you can’t run a car without power steering (it doesn’t work when the belt is broken… figure that). At first I was looking at maybe $75 dollars worth of work…. now it is at around $300.

Of course I have managed to get nothing done today. And I’m still waiting on users to get their testing done for the software I had to modify to comply with changes that should have taken place years ago.

I could use a really stiff drink now… or a wild orgy full of beautiful East Indian women… or both. Yeah, like I’d get anything like that.
