lessee, where’ve i been? hm, the six day work week is killing me, but i still enjoy working at the library. i’ve even scored a paint job from one of the librarians. every day i work at the ‘brary i see someone i know from church (vineyard and lutheran). i also see people i know but i can’t remember how i would know them. probably from GSCC. like maybe i had a class when them or something.

anyway, friday was maintenance day. it started out with an 8:15am dental check-up. the lady hurt me. she poked SOMETHING on the top row that hurt and THEN she squirted COLD WATER on it. i jumped in the seat and my leg actually came up. “oh, is that sensitive?” it asked?

after the dentist i went home to change my shirt before heading off to work at HCH, and Uncle Dante pulled into the driveway! yay! he came by to check out my red jeep because i was having a gas leak of sorts, and he’s a three-time jeep owner so he’s seen his share and more of jeep engine problems. i knew where it was leaking from but i didn’t know what on earth the part was called. i don’t feel like a “stupid girl” though because dante didn’t know what it was called either. he did say, however, that i should get it fixed pretty quick seeing as how the gas would start dripping on the very hot part of the engine (manifold schmanifold).

so i took it to my mechanic (if you have a jeep you have a mechanic) and he opened the smallish metal thing and replaced two measely o-rings and that fixed it, and it’s dry as a bone now, and bonus! it doesn’t reek of gasoline when i park the car. while i was there i had him check out my compressor ‘cos SOMETHING has been making a hell of a noise when i turn the AC on. so he oiled the compressor and topped off my freon (or whatever they use now) and he said that the racket wasn’t my compressor but some kind of fan. so probably sometime before summer i should get that fixed. unless i want to ride with the windows down again. i didn’t use the AC much over the summer because of the hellish noise, but it didn’t matter so much since the red jeep is my work jeep. but now that i’m not JUST a paint monkey, but also office monkey and library monkey…it wouldn’t hurt to have the AC in the summer so i don’t show up as a giant sweat ball of doom.

anyway to complete my maintenance trifecta i got moxed that afternoon. kriscakehole ask what i wanted to do with my hair and i said, “make me the Rock ‘n Roll Librarian.”
and he did.

on saturday at work, one of the ‘brarians asked me if i was going to show up sometime with punk colored hair to surprise them. i told her i was going to wait a while on anything too surprising as i didn’t want to get fired right away. she said that was a good idea.

i figure maybe this summer i might try to get away with bleaching out my hair. we’ll start them off easy.
