josilverdragonWorking from home today as my SUV is in the shop. I have had issues with the AC and finally took it in to have it fixed and I needed a temperature actuator for the passenger side, a evaporator was cracked and needed replaced, new serpentine belt, an oil change (which is originally why I took it in lol) and the cabin and engine filters replaced. So, I was like "I can work from home" and avoid commuting by using Uber or Lyft or the grace of my mother. So, my boss approved and voila. It's been nice. However it's tainted by the fact that I'll be paying a $3300 bill when I pick my Acadia up and then have to spend another $3k for wheels and tires lol.
In regards to current events, I've been watching and seeing posts regarding the recent big name shooting victim (as much as I detest him and neutral regarding his status of existence, it's horrible and tragic and not good for the country overall) and it's wild how almost within the hour, there were already conspiracy theorists. Both for "he's not really dead", to "the government took out a hit", to whatever else is out there. I was looking at it while it was fresh and now, day 1 post incident (and September 11th to boot), I'm just "meh" as well as wondering what the government under the current administration will be doing about it. Funny how they focus on someone who supported them but have completely ignored the people who are dying in mass shootings every day, as well as the political assassinations of those two state senators. But to be honest, that doesn't surprise me. The current commander in chief doesn't surprise me with his narcissism.
Back to other topics, there is hardly any work to do right now. My part in a recent system update is done and I'm waiting for additional info for another update so yeah. Just waiting. Always hurry up and wait, and then hurry up and submit. But that's the nature of the beast.
I'm not exactly happy with my new dresser but it'll work and we're going to utilize the old one as DVD storage but I want to get it painted black as it's currently a white color that's possibly the originally color. Mom found it at a garage sale years ago and it's worked well but falling apart now, which is why I bought a new one. Maybe I should have just asked Dad to fix it, like Mom did, but it always feels like such an imposition. Sometimes from his response and sometimes from my guilt, I guess. Guilt from cutting into his off work time. Alas, tis too late. However, we'll get it fixed up for storage and it should work well. I hope.
Going to have lunch with Mom now, so have a good day you all.
