ENGAGE BULLET POINTS

[invisiblemoose]

Our car has been causing no ends of the drama lately. Stopping, jerking around, needing multiple jumpstarts, and then stopping dead flat with less than 30 minutes till my next appointment. There is a rainbow at the end of the storm though, some much-needed repairs are being carried out under warranty. And in this case, it's a brand new gearbox. Normally this would cost $4k. Dayum. We managed to overcome most of the things we needed a car for, but we'll be better at it this week. Forewarned is forearmed, and all that. And thank god for the in-laws and their loan of a car for the weekend work that I will discuss in bullet point number 3. OMG FORESHADOWING!!

Because of this my posts have started to fall to the wayside on Deadzone. Sorry to everyone who is waiting for me to post--skip me if you can. But today was full-on, and I needed all of the night to get my paperwork and stuff sorted. I will be posting by this time tomorrow night. Can someone link to this post in chat so they know what's going on with me?

Hey, remember this guy?? well I bumped into him this week, whilst we were both working. He seemed to have forgiven the last few things that've happened between us, or has a flawed/skewed memory of the matter, or has just decided to forgive and forget. He's in a customer-service-ish role, so I guess some of his more colourful words have been suppressed. It was damn weird.

Thanks to car woes, my work performance has not been great this week. I was lucky to make up for it by working a 6th day this week, where I caught up with (and exceeded) my weekly quota. I have a pretty good crew with my current job. After working in Tauranga, we went to Mt Maunganui for a while. They are intelligent and thoughtful, and I always enjoy discussions with them. There are some very good jokers, we always crack each other up.

Speaking about cracking other people up, I got a pleasant ego-boost from beckyh2112 with her recent (and very in-jokey) post quoting some of the stuff I've bantered at various times. Thanks, Becca.

At 7:28pm today, in the dark, whilst I was driving back home on the other side of Cambridge, I saw a shooting star for the first time today. It was beautiful. I wish someone was with me to share it with.

'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' must be played at my funeral. Must. And sung along to by the attendees. And I am serious about this. Don't make me haunt you.
