Yuck. My car on Sunday decided it did want to have steering anymore. So I have it towed in to the shop. They found out yesterday that the bolts that hold the tie rods to the steering rack snapped off. So the rack has to be replaced and bolts have to be ordered. They're hoping to have get everything and have it done by Friday. At an estimate ( Read more... )

I figure it was time to finally get an Irish/St Patrick's Day icon. This should work, and I can use it for spring since it nice and pretty and green. Plus I'm sure my dearly departed grandmother (who was a Catholic, blue-eyed red-head with a maiden name of O'Brien...hint hint) would approve since it doesn't highlight getting drunk ( Read more... )

Just got back from shopping in Chicago, again. I should just plan to go to Body Worlds by myself cause otherwise I'll just end up having it canceled or sold out, leaving me to shop in Chicago. Which is very nice, but I should put the credit cards away for a while ( Read more... )

I should not be awake right now. So far I've only had four hours of sleep after working 12 hours cause of software training. I guess that's what happens after you drink a quad-shot, venti, cafe mocha, skim milk from Starbucks and two cups of coffee just before training. And I still don't know much about the new program. But at least it's ( Read more... )

After working last weekend and then the fiasco at work to the last snow store to hit the Midwest, I'm ready for time off. I hope everyone else's week has been better then mine ( Read more... )

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes I saw in various journals and boards and whatnot last Friday. Turning a quarter century old (and being half way to thirty) was not too painful. Though I always thought I would have accomplished more in my life by now. C'est la vie. It did not help that I worked through the weekend. But I wanted this ( Read more... )

...someone on LJ was surprised by some the Nsync acapella and live performances. So I uploaded these and though I'd share. I'm sure most of you already have them, but if you don't want to go looking for them then here. And now unfortunately I realize I don't really have many mp3 of the boys singing live/acapella (save for bad concert recordings ( Read more... )

Mine's mediocre. I'm not enjoying being on days (versus 3rd shift) due the the production shutdown. Too many managers and supervisors and not enough stuff to do to keep busy. But at least we had this silly 'team building day' where we all went out after lunch and bowled for two hours. Now I'm not the greatest bowler, but at least I can break ( Read more... )

Does anyone know where I can get a NYE icon for LJ? Cause if my butt is gonna be at home sick, I damn well need to find something to do. So replacing out dated XMAS icons it is.
