I iz waaaaiiiittttttiiiiinnnngggggg
...for them to fix my car. New transmission cable. Supposed to take an hour/hour and a half. And, well, brakes.
"But we turned the rotors and put on new pads before you got it."
"Well, good. But it sounds worse now than when I test drove it."
"Really? You said a clunking sound?"
"Uh huh."
Supposed to take an hour and a half. I dropped it off at 8 AM. It's not done yet. Supposed to call at 3:30. Hmmmm. Did someone say "brakes"?
Had to cancel rehearsal with pianist. Not happy.
Do not have car. Not happy.
Am not going to Concordia Saturday. Not happy.
On the other hand, these are all every day not happies. The minor annoyances of everyday life. In the grand scheme of things, being not happy about these things is...diverting.
And, as a little ray of sunshine, the Babylon 5 Quote Store opens Friday (Cafe Press). The Joe Store is closed (so my "Faith Manages" cup is now a collector's item I guess), but the new stuff is pretty fine. So many quotes, so little time. I mean, really, I hardly wear the shirts I already own (stop smirking); how can I justify buying more?
Must. Rationalize. Must. Rationalize.
