Too bad that oil change calculator doesn't have cars before 2000.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh, it says I only need to change my oil every 7,500 miles! So I think the oil change/rotation now and wait till 30K for a full-scale maintenance seems good; maybe I'll do the 30K a little early but then continue on the 15Kish intervals, which seems to be working well for people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
QQ: employee performance evaluation given at a restaurant, and in the same town as the place of employment. Unprofessional?
It depends. Have other employees gotten evals at restaurants? Was it a place were you'd be easily overheard by other employees? was salary discussed? I have actually had reviews done in restaurants, because my boss wanted a MORE private place than my office plus he wanted to buy me lunch as part of a "good job" eval.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice day with the parents! Went with my father for a tour of the local chocolate factory -- it's small, so not really much to tour, but very interesting! And then helped make stuff for family Christmas tomorrow -- cookies, spiced nuts, and I think that's all I really did.

Mine was the only one done in a public place.
Again, it was in Summit, which is a large town/small city, and I work at a place that is very much a part of the community and I am a very public face associated with it. So talking about anything regarding internal workings is always a dangerous thing to do in town, no knowing what neighbor, boardmember, frequent visitor, or friend of any of those could overhear.
My eyes were bugging the fuck out of my head when she began. And it was a tiny restaurant that was packed full but not too loud to be private. Then she gave me my printed review to hold onto and I had nowhere to put it but under my dinner plate.

I am home. I am exhausted.
Our flight from Allentown got pushed back an hour, which meant we had to rebook all the flights home for today, because the delay meant we would have arrived at Detroit 10 minutes after the last flight from Detroit to KCI left, and that was the last connecting flight that would have gotten us to KC in less than 12 hours.
So I had to stay another night. It was ok, but...DRAMA LLAMA. Our household styles and personalities are so different. Everything rubbed along well, but she thrives on chaos and they bicker and argue so much over little things, it really made me uncomfortable. They undeniably love M, but...just diametrically different. But it was ok.
M called me his mom for the first time. Um. Allergies.
And now I am SO behind and we leave for Iowa tomorrow morning, and I am SO going to sleep early tonight; the insomnia monster bit me hard last night,despite meds, mostly because of travel worries. I got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep and got up at 4:45 to make the flight.
Oh! M and I got through the first 2 1/2 chapters of the first Skulduggery Pleasant book, and he is digging it so far. Woo and hoo.
Ok. Brane is dead now. Fall down, go boom.

Yay! I just started it as well!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Last minute shopping. All day. Five stores. Exhausted. Still have to wrap it all. And get it in the car. My own fault for procrastinating. I want to nap.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sherlock Holmes is an excellent good time. Not that anyone should doubt that.
So I met the brother's Olympic gold-medalist girlfriend. She seems cool. She's invited us to her Christmas Eve gathering and she and her kids will be at our house for Christmas. It's all very new and exciting.
