another day, another dollar
It was a good kind of week at work - the kind where I mostly knew exactly what I had to do, and was able to just sit down and do it. Sadly, it was mostly computer work. But I more than made up for that with my personal persuits of the evening - I changed the oil in my car for the first time. I realize that there are not many gear heads that read this, so I won't go on a diatribe about how Mazda located the oil filter exactly between the clutch slave cylinder and the brake line block.
It was a quiet sort of week. Monday night I went out unicycling with my brother and friend Nick. I forget what I did Tuesday. Wednesday was spent assembling boats for the forthcoming sailing trip. Last night was a band concert of my just-graduated-high-school-friend, followed by a failed first attempt at the oil change. And tonight was the successful culmination of both the oil change and assembling the boats. Car grime is just no match for diesel engine grime. Car grime comes off with soap and water - I just have to wear the diesel grime until the skin underneath it falls off. But again, that was one of the criteron of my dream job . . .
Probably the high point of the week was that
gaudium_et_spes missed his flight sunday night, so got to crash on my floor and go to mass with me monday morning. It is so very seldom that I get to go to mass with anyone specifically. Yes, yes, I know you're all there as part of the Ecclesial community - but its nice to have the corporal helps sometimes.
When I post again it will be after I've been sailing, so I will be sore and happy.
