Upshot of this, I now have to find a new way in to work. But not till next Saturday at the earliest. Carpooling all this week.

Amazing the things you can find on the internet. Remember that ultra-hokey Morris Albert song "Feelings"? Found a version where he's doing the song in spanish.

This is what Napster and Kazaa were for. Not for downloading new songs so you don't have to buy the album. It's for getting the super-rare stuff.

While picking up Birthday Girl for work I looked down and noticed that my fly was broken. One of those kind where the zipper can't be fixed. (Guess that's why they were such cheap pants.) So for the entire day at work I had to wear the sweater I keep at work tied to my waist, main part in front. Usually for a man that either means a] I peed my pants, or b] I have an embarassing erection. Neither one of those this time, just a broken fly.

Someone else overseeing the Launch Pod found my headset. It was at a desk I was nowhere near on Friday, so somebody had taken it & put it there.

Have already been told I won't be back in Launch Pod next week. Some nonsense about giving other people a shot. Bad news: working nine days straight, today through a week from tomorrow. Good news: it will be my last weekend working for quite a while.

• Car wouldn't start this morning. Had to humbly apologize to the person I was taking in to work this week, because she had to find another way in. Was just able to find a ride of my own and get to work just in time.
• Didn't get the payroll job.
• Still up for the Buddy post, but still haven't heard for sure whether I got it, who my coach is gonna be, or which shift I'll be on.

Car has since been fixed (out $148 that I can't afford). Thought at first it was the alternator, but turned out it was a severely-corroded cable, which caused a fuse to overload.
