Today I was supposed to (a) get my windscreen replaced and (b) write an exam (my last work for my last class--only comps to go now). I was going to do (b) while the workmen were doing (a).
Instead, the morons at Safelite sent *another* repairman out (I knew it was going to be bad news when a pick-up truck rolled up with nothing in the bed). So no new windscreen. I've called Geico and told them that because their trained monkeys can't find their arse with two hands, I'm getting it done myself and sending them the bill. (Translation: I called Geico and expressed my displeasure; they apologised profusely; I said "I'm going to invoke my right under my plan to have this done by a shop I choose"; they said, "That's fine, just be sure it's a shop that works at our rates and will be willing to bill us directly--for everything over your $100 deductible"; I said I would.)
Then, frustrated and in need of activity, I started clearing all the gravel and sand out of the road that the floods a few weeks ago left there (god forbid the county ever do it), and my housemate helped me after he finished cutting the grass. Then I came in and vacuumed four rooms, cleaned the cat boxes, took the mat from under the bedroom boxes out to wash off, and decided I had had enough work for today. Right now I'm admiring the beautiful way the light looks in the afternoon in the living room. In a moment I'm going to go take a shower, then make dinner. I may do the exam after dinner, or I may leave it for tomorrow.
I'm not terribly thrilled with OK Cupid right now. There are lots of nice, interesting-seeming people, but I find that they seem to (1) have some sort of tragic flaw (like "dislikes cats"--I mean, really, who dislikes cats?), (2) don't respond to my honeyed words (my computer suggested, when I misspelled "honeyed" that maybe I meant "Hohenlohe"--what does that say?), (3) respond only to say "No thanks", or (4) prove to be not as interesting as I had hoped. I've been rewatching "As Time Goes By" and enjoying it a great deal; I'd be quite happy to be dating Jean Pargeter! :-)
Shower time!
