2nd chance

Mom, if you're reading this, I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to email you back yet, but this car stuff is driving me crazy. Not to mention I've been doing more work than usual at work and haven't had much time, lol.

I've been given a second chance offer on a car that I bid on two days ago; the auction that I lost by $1. It's a 97 Camry and has 100k miles on it. It's only had one owner. BUT it's in Philly, and the only day that we would be able to get it is tomorrow; for the next two weekends we have plans. I'm thinking about trying Carmax and just see what kind of financing they can offer me. Maybe even a Honda or Toyota dealership. Kurtis is going to some guitar stores tomorrow, maybe I'll try a couple of car dealerships. I know there are a couple Honda and Toyota dealerships in the area, in Glen Burnie and Annapolis.

Kathy and I have an assistant of sorts at work. He works too damn fast, we're actually running out of work to give him and he's been here for less than a week. Maybe now people can understand why I procrastinated filing, because it doesn't take that long once you get started. He even updated those enormous county code books in less than half a day -- and we were a whole year behind!!! Maybe it's because his dad works for the county that he was good at it. I told him that he's too efficient and that he needs to slow down. I mean, he does make my job a lot easier, but my job is pretty easy to begin with. My job is more annoying than anything else. The hardest part is just dealing with the people here... I won't name any names.

Blah.

We tried the Rainforest Cafe last night; not quite as tacky as I thought it would be, but the food was awful, especially for the prices that they were charging. I paid as much for dinner there as I paid for dinner at a nice restaurant in DC last Sunday. Crazy. Forgot to mention that Kurt grilled me steak Wednesday night, 7 inches of snow and ice on the deck, too. Damn tasty, too. I tried to convince him not to, but he did it anyway.

Well, I still have work to do, so back to it!
