Odds and Ends
Apr 15th 2009
Just a lot of odds and ends to report today.
First off, my car. I can't recall if I mentioned this or not but the airbag light turned on again on my Rogue, so I took it in for service last week. They had to order a couple parts which came in yesterday. So tomorrow morning I'm going to go sit at the dealership again so they can finish the repair. I do really like my car a lot, but I'm not sure I'd buy another new car the first year the model was out. There's a lot of little hitches and bumps along the way. Thankfully it's all related to stuff that's not essential for making the car move so far, but it is a little annoying to have to take it in for service so often. Really happy with it otherwise.
Second, my room at the new place is in desperate need of a nightstand which has been finished and I'll be picking that up this evening. Hopefully it'll help me tame the random bits that are sort of floating around in my room looking for a place to rest.
Third, it seems I have a 32 dollar credit on my account at time warner because, apparently, I wasn't supposed to pay my entire bill last month since I canceled my account. So now I need to figure out how the heck I can get that money back. Moving is such a hassle…
We Have A Second Floor?
Oct 19th 2006
I was walking across the street to the Pharmacy just a few minutes ago and I went to look back at the building that houses the place where I work and something odd occurred to me.
We have a second floor.
It’s not something I think about very much, considering I can’t ever recall seeing a set of stairs that leads up there. It’s not an attic because it’s got a full number of windows running all the way around. So I’ve worked here for around 5 years or so part time and full time, and still I have no idea what’s on the second floor. Why aren’t we using it? We certainly could use the space…
Could it be a secret staging point for a plan of telecommunications world domination? Is it just not finished? Haunted? Does some sort of mythological beast live up there, a grue perhaps?
Somehow I get the feeling I’ll never know. Or if I do learn what it’s for, they’ll have to kill me.
