Think I dodged a bullet at work. Talking to Chef yesterday, lots of cooks gonna be moved around to positions they may not want to be in. Running the luau, I’m kind in my own enclave. Just do my thing and no one bothers me. If I had stayed on the line who knows.

In other news. Someone just a getting a new transmission.


Auto dealers keep reminding us why we don’t like them. They needed to take a photo of my leaking front struts for the warranty company. The mechanic and service desk said be here when they open at 8 and they’ll get me in first and out quick. Didn’t take my car till 8:40.


Science is amazing. The incision didn’t seem big enough to fit all of this hardware into my shoulder.
