R.I.P. M.R. :(

Some things come out of nowhere like a slap across the face. Today, I’ve gotten a really loud, skin-smacking slap across the cheek.

Majel Roddenberry has died of leukemia.

Bad luck comes in threes.

1. Ruin car.

2. Laid off from work.

3. Chiropractor cancels my appointment on the only day I could see him before work-insurance ran out.

WTF.

Love & Hate (in a snowdrift)

Okay, I said I wasn’t going to write about my car anymore. I’m not, not really. I’m writing about my Mom’s car. Before any of you ‘tards comment: No, I did not crash it. I didn’t end up in the ditch or anything horrible. I got to work fine, with a small mishap.

It’s called “Getting out of the driveway.” Shut up and don’t laugh. I’m a perfectly capable driver, but right now I’m a capable driver who has nerves of spaghetti and I knew today was going to be all sorts of problems!

Super Sensitive Dick Heads

Okay, enough about my car. I can’t change what happened there, and really, there’s more important things to consider. For example: Political Correctness. I think that people should have tolerance for each other, definitely. I don’t think we should do things deliberately to offend people, certainly. I also don’t think I should be forced to hide my beliefs in order to not offend someone, either.

I work in customer service, and I hate that I can’t wish people a Merry Christmas because it may offend someone. I also can’t wish them a Happy Hanukah (spelling check pls?) or anything else. I’m not even allowed to say “Happy Holidays” in case the person might not have a holiday. What next? Will I be denied the right to say “Have a nice weekend” to someone in case it’s not their weekend?

!#@%!!!!

I remember being so excited about this car. The AC worked, it smelled brand new, was clean as clean can be, was in perfect condition. It even had a nice little thingie on the keychain so I never had to worry about frozen locks ever again.

I will miss you, car
