OK, that is kind of annoying

After the accident with the pothole and getting the axle replaced, I had been experiencing steering issues with the car (not lack of response, but I had to drive with the wheel at a slight turn to get the car to go straight), so I took it in to get the alignment corrected this morning before work. Well, they found that some of the hardware was bent, not just out of true, and were fixing things when, apparently, something that was supposed to twist snapped off! It's not a part that's manufactured anymore, they tell me, so they're having to hunt up an existing one which will take several hours. They did take the trouble to drive me home (I'm about a mile away), which was nice, but I called work to say I was just going to not come in. Bummer.

OTOH, I only got about 5 hours' sleep last night, so I'd vastly prefer napping on my couch to napping in their waiting room.
