But I was asked to work tomorrow.

I should call in.

But we need the money and its only for three hours.

But I'm sick.

Decisions, decisions.

So after I did some research I found I could take public transit to work. Not sure why it never occurred to me to do that before, I vaguely remember my wife looking it up and deciding it wasn't worth it. I guess the routes and times have changed quite considerably since then. Anyways, after I figured out I could have my transit costs covered...

For some reason as I realized that our transportation costs were getting out of hand I never bothered to look into Public Transit. Public transit is actually pretty cool, its how I've gotten to my last three jobs over the course of five years. All except for Tesla of course which my wife has been forced to drive me to. Now that I am an...

In From Dusk Till Dawn Harvey Keitel asks George Clooney; "Are you such a looser that you can't tell when you've won?" I kind of feel that way right now.

You see I've been belly aching so much about not being able to fix my car I've completely ignored the fact that I was able to get any work done on her at all. I'm

Well I've done all I can do at any rate. It turns out the front end is in serious need of a pair of ball joints which I was quoted at $09 plus alignment to fix. I don't have that much so I'm forced to call it quits for the time being. There is some good news in that my paycheck was over $100 more...

My car goes back to the shop tomorrow fora couple more jobs, an alignment as well as a possible smog check. It all really depends on what happens really. The alignment is the priority because that's all that is really needed for the car to truly become roadworthy. As long as that goes without any problems (so far no repair on this car done by...

Well two storms actually. The first is the government shutdown which inspired me to create what I like to call the Quantum Party. Details on my blog here.

The second storm is my car. I've pretty much decided that because I am so close I'm just going to drive the thing expired tags and all. With any luck I won't get pulled over but at...

Why do I beat myself up so much over temporary situations?

I finally got my car back from the shop after four days. What was supposed to be a $365 job after discount inflated to $585 after discount. I only had $540 something in my bank account so I had to use my credit card to fill the gap. Its just over a week till...

But my car still resides in the shop. I'm still waiting to hear from the mechanic but it looks like one of the two broken bolts would not come out. From what he tells me it can still be done but it's looking like a much tougher job right now which of course means a shit ton more $$$ that I of course don't have....

I'm sure most of you don't know that I am in love, love, love with online racing. Not the smash em up public racing mind you but the online sanctioned racing you get at websites like Race2play or iRacing. It really gets the blood pumping but up until recently I've been pretty scared to race online.

What kept getting in my way was the feeling...

Dropped my car off at the shop today. They said they might be able to do it today but they had a back log of work so it was looking like Monday would be the target date. I told them that was fine, the car isn't registered anyway so we could afford to wait. I'm suddenly feeling quite impatient though. I've waited over a year...

Well I finally found a place that will fix my car but its going to cost me. $465 approximately. The shop has an online coupon for $100 off so I'm going to bring that in tomorrow when i drop the car off. Hopefully it'll be done by the end of the day and I can get her smogged.

As a result we are going to...
