- We got the computers back last night. Mine had not one but eight viruses. Rebecca's had 68 viruses. For serious. They installed new virus-protection software for both of us. (I had a program but it was out of date. I'm not sure if Rebecca had any protection ( Read more... )

Since it's so hard to type a proper entry on my phone, I didn't mention the other major thing (or rather, one major and one sorta-major thing) going on ( Read more... )

So, I had the day off from work. Catette and I got together for some ice cream and discussed going to the park to wade in the river or maybe shopping as we drove to Rebecca's place of work to pick her up. Across from Rebecca's workplace, there's a bridge, and the last time we went to pick her up, Catette said she really wanted to go over the bridge ( Read more... )

So I had two days at Trexlertown before my vacation (which was scheduled months in advance and has nothing to do with the layoffs) started yesterday. I really like the location so far. It's a good team, and I know a lot of the people from previous stores. I'm working under the same store manager that I had in Quakertown. He gave me my review on ( Read more... )

It will take $865 to make my car pass inspection, with more repairs looming on the horizon. There's a problem with the transmission that I can't let go for too much longer, but I want to try to stretch it out until I get my bonus check. My bushings don't need to be replaced quite yet, but they'll need it soon enough ( Read more... )

Pep Boys is estimating that it will take $900 worth of work for my car to pass inspection. (And I spent $130 just so they could fail me and tell me I had a fuel leak ( Read more... )

I am not pleased with my insurance company (ERIE). Rebecca crashed my car in May of this year. MAY. About a month ago, I received a call from my agency asking if Rebecca had her license yet. I said no, that she was taking lessons with a professional driving instructor and no longer driving my car. They asked when she'd have her license, I said I ( Read more... )

1. Now that they have repealed the law prohibiting out-of-state marriages, Rebecca and I can get married in Massachusetts! We don't have to settle for some half-assed NJ "civil union." Our marriage license still won't be valid in PA, but progress is progress. We want to go next year, just get the ceremony done in court with a witness, then have a ( Read more... )

So, I guess it's time for an update. My car has been in for repair for a few days now. I have a deductible of $1000 which Rebecca and I worked out between us and my insurance company is paying the rest. They are also paying for my rental, a Toyota Camry which drives like butter. I should have the yellow neon back as good as new in a few days. I am ( Read more... )

On Christmas Eve, sometime between 7:30 and 8 AM, the rear windshield of my car was broken in the parking lot of my workplace. This was very odd because none of the stores were open yet. The parking lot was empty. And I don't really have any enemies. There were no foreign objects in the car, but the break pattern was right in the center of the ( Read more... )
