I'd like to point out I didn't miss a day per se, I just missed updating by 9 hours or so. Not especially bad, and it did generate comments. But i will try to be more effective in the future.

so i finally got the car back from getting the blower fixed, which happily seems to work. of course as i turned out of the dealership i realized the turn signals didn't work. then after leaving the mall with mitch, i realize none of the lights work. I fortunately have daytime running lights, but i couldn't see how fast i was going since the gauges were dark, and i drove by a cop with my foot lightly on the brake so i had some lights on in the back... i got a call at 9:30 that i missed from the dealer, i sure hope it was them saying oops we broke this and need to order the part, since it was so obvious.

i did get the rubber floor mats, they worked nicely, and i think they should be very happy when it snows again. i'll switch back to cloth in the spring.

dave called while i was out at panini's (at about 2..) he said he saw 5 minis running around san francisco. how sad, but hey there's not very many around here, and the dealer said they only expected 30-40 per month from now on, so that's at least good, now if only mine was working 100%... or i could get loaner cars...

i need to compile and write my section for the paper due monday afternoon. so much work. such a pain, even though it won't take very long. i also have all the reading for the semester in manufaturing to do. do'h, such things happen. i'm sure it will be a most exciting sunday, once i bother to wakeup that is.
