This morning did not start of well. My yellow car was acting sick, so I had to take my blue car to breakfast. Breakfast was wonderful, as usual, though both Bery and I have colds. This is my third sickness in 31 days! How annoying! Yesterday, I had drugged myself up pretty good to get through all those interviews. Today, I would try to cut down a bit on the drugs. Sudafed really dries me out!
The morning was spent talking to my mom. She thought it was funny that I was absolutely unenthused about the possibility of landing my dream job. At this point, any “dream job” would start in January of next year no matter how ideal. She called to tell me that she was buying plane tickets to come out in late February/early March. I guess my folks are coming to California because I’m off and we could spend more time together. Also, it’s snowing in New York and they’d like to get away from that for a while. I am really enthused about that (my parents coming, not that they are waist-deep in snow)!
I also watched “Groundhog Day” during lunch… since it is Groundhog Day today.
I was supposed to go to lunch with a friend today, but the only car appointment I could get at the dealership was at 1PM (hopefully all my issues are covered under warranty!). I’ll have lunch with my friend tomorrow… and also coffee with another friend who called me up today. Well, my yellow car will be in the shop overnight so I now have a loaner car; a Mercedes C300. Not too shabby as far as loaner cars go – impressive actually – but I was hoping for a Porsche 911 Turbo 4S or anything else they had handy on the lot. Why don’t they loan those out? The Porsche dealership had a Mercedes SLS AMG 6.3L on the floor and a couple of Porsche GT3s – I’d take any of those as well! I sure hope I get my car back tomorrow before my 10AM coffee appointment. It seems unlikely though. Sigh… I kind of wanted to drive my little yellow car tomorrow.
Day 31 mood: I miss my yellow car. The loaner is nice, but sterile. It’s a car my wife would like.
