Work is back with the mandatory overtime shit again so there goes any small amount of time I have for things. And just when I’m starting a new “give me freedom from the corporate world” venture. I am determined to break out of this mold that requires me to bow and scrape to others for a paycheck. More details on my new thing soon – like when everyone else has decided I can have a minute for me.

In my usual “never happy always looking for something different” way, I’m trying a new style here at our little site. When this style was started it was called Sadness but at some point was changed to Echoes. I’ll live with it a while and see how I feel.

Edit: I’ve gone back to the original style. Not sure why.

So I ventured out to the mechanic yesterday and got some things taken care of with my car. I made sure I was at the place before it opened and got in pretty quick. Of course I was still there for 3 hours, luckily I was the only smoker there so I was alone outside at the smoking bench. That made it a little easier.

And I had good news regarding the car. All I needed to have done was to replace the air filter, do an oil change and the front brakes, everything else was good. Now this is a big deal because the last time the car was in for service (besides new tires a couple years ago) was back in New Jersey to have it looked at before making the drive out here to Hell. And then they didn’t need to do anything to it. So I lucked out with my little car, in the almost 7 years that I’ve owned it this is the first time it needed anything. I think it’s a keeper!

So then today, to reward my lovely little car, I vacuumed it out real good and washed all it’s windows both inside and out. All it really needs now to have undergone a complete beauty treatment would be to get washed. But that’s just a bit too much for me right now.
