I've had a horrid day and need pets and cuddles

We decided to take the other car, as we did already have an appointment with the garage for tomorrow for its yearly checkup. I really want that auris hybrid on days like these!

2. I left my keyboard and mouse in my car. You know, that one that is sitting home on my drive way. Now I have to use the keyboard and mousepad on my laptop...

It will turn out one of these days, I'm sure...

It was in the low 20s (F) the other night and our work truck wouldn't start. I mentioned that I was going to pull it into the building to charge it, and a recently graduated apprentice boy said that spot was already taken, as he had opened the roll-up door and driven right into the building to park his personal vehicle there to keep it warm. I asked him if he would move it and this little creep said to just charge the work truck up outside the building. So, rather than raise a fuss, I did as he suggested. I left it on trickle charge all night, and it was still on charge when my co-worker and I left the next morning. We left as soon as we could, and made sure we left before him, because we were certain that he would be none too pleased when he opened to roll-up door to leave only to discover I had left the truck on charge right in front of the roll-up door.

I only wish upon reflection that I had hidden the truck key.

The house we went and looked at is in approximately the same neighborhood we live in now, only a few blocks away. Good location, and everything we wanted: garage, basement, rooms big enough to swing a cat in (not literally, of course). Well, 1: the people were nearly impossible to get hold of to make an appt. to see the place. 2: Once I finally did get hold of someone, she was about half rude on the phone. 3: Made the appointment, she sent her son to show the house, and he was late. 4: Even though the previous tenants had pets, now they're disallowing them.
The inside of the house was nice too. Original woodwork, nice almost finished basement, good sized bathroom, and closets!! Coat closet, linen closet, pantry. But the no pets and their really bad attitudes was a deal breaker for us.

Hope something comes your way soon.

They seem to gather all the information they can on a particular subject(as in person) and then try to build an essay including all that information. Did they learn their journalism technique in grade three?

A similar comment was made in The Times newspaper earlier this week (was that you) - valid point, though ....

@KK, I hope you feel better now!!! I could offer you CD39-knock-out mice (really small, really cute, probable really tasty for your cats) and a lot of hugs!

I wouldn't have made a hurry to be away... And taken the keys home: "oeps forgot to put them in their usual spot"....

But today did start a lot better. Even had a laugh-aloud-at-driver's-stupidities today. Always hate it when people are constantly overtaking, in a row (single file) that's very long. So overtaking doesn't really help.

But if you reach a traffic light (two lanes) where you decide to go to the left lane, and they stay in the right and you then proceed to skip ahead about half a dozen cars (because a. the left lane is completely empty and/or b. the traffic light turns green before you even start to brake...) and, that's when I always laugh aloud!
