to burn or not to burn
i’m testing out scribefire, because i’m always willing to try something that promises to make my activities more convenient. and while i’m on the subject of convenience, it really sucks when something that is normally convenient becomes very much not so:
activity: getting to work
made difficult by:
- broken car
- not enough money
- boyfriend’s car is a manual transmission (shut up shut up SHUT UP)
- boyfriend entered group health’s “bike to work month” challenge next month and therefore cannot drive me
solution?
be the huge princess that i am laughing manically as i borrow my parents extraneous jag while standing on the knuckles of drowning polar bears.
let me take a moment to bask in the fact that i can make my parents appear to be billionaires.
if i could travel back in time and tell the 12 year old version of my father who went to school and worked full time that i would someday get to tell people about his second car, maybe he would have felt a little better about working outside in the sun and the rain for the next 38 years of his life.
my parents asked us to recommend an all terrain vehicle that would allow them to make trips across the passes a lot easier. we said subaru.
then dad found a smashing deal on an all wheel drive passenger car: a used jaguar. as an all-terrain vehicle. and, sure enough, they use it to go to over the passes. it was actually cheap, it handles nicely, performs under pressure, but they still prefer their cadillac.
in my defense, i’m going to see how a trial run of biking to my office will go this weekend. if it’s feasible (despite my work clothes wrinkling terribly in a bag) i might try to go with this option. it would make me feel better. still, it’s very nice of my parents to bail me out.
but i’m still having a hard time picturing myself in the jag.
EDIT: no longer having trouble picturing myself in the jag.
