Acck! I forgot my lunch today, left it on the counter...DOH!
Yesterday I stayed home, we're re-indexing the library catalog and there's a virtual DO NOT USE banner across the monitor (lol). That means no work for Siobhan, since everything I do is in the library catalog...
And no work today or tomorrow....I wish I had unlimited annual leave.
And now the WHINE... I noticed my brakes were a bit iffy on Thursday, and on Friday they went out entirely. I could still stop, but I felt like Fred Flintstone: had my foot all the way to the floor on the brake pedal before I could stop.
So, on Monday we went to Lentz....$600 for front brakes and a new serpentine belt. If that belt breaks, my car doesn't move. Period. Plus there's about a thousand dollars of front end work to do (including power steering) and my engine is vibrating a lot when I get over 65mph, and I have a front headlamp out....(easy enough to fix that, I think..) Plus my ABS don't work anymore.
I guess I can do without ABS, I drove just fine in the times before anti-lock brakes. But still....crap! 2001 car, almost 85K on it.... now the big things start to go wrong, wear out, need replacing. Ugh.
