Oh Mondays...

This has absolutely nothing to do with it being a Monday but it all happened on a Monday so there.

Got to work to find a young seagull dead behind the fenced area at work. Kind of sad. My new supervisor's kid (who sometimes comes over to waste her summer time away) visited and made it a paper plaque and tapped it on the fence edge. She named it Mimi. Then again, we've been getting a few trapped baby seagulls in the fenced area as of late. Seems like they fall right off the roof where their nests are (thus why I always have so much birdSHIT! on my car) and being unable to fly out, they get stuck. We've been releasing them as fast as we see them and yet...

A new lady showed up today who's apparently going to be taking my place when I leave. How come I'm not surprised they picked an old lady as opposed to all the young'uns who applied. (btw, it's because it's less likely the old ones will jump ship) Anyway, she's a pretty nice lady who's Mandarin fluent and has pretty decent English... but because work's been dead the past few days, there was absolutely nothing to do. I tried to talk about work stuff for a bit but she probably can't retain all that information without actually having some hands-on experience. It was prolly boring as hell for her to sit beside me while I tried not to surf on the net (but there was nothing else...!). Uh should I have offered my computer? I'm not sure what I should've done. What is to happen tomorrow?!

Before speaking of tomorrow, on my drive home from work I felt my car do a little "tug" and then soon after I noticed my engine light on. ?! I ripped out my car manual then tried to flip to the right section on the rest of my way back but didn't get to the right page until I got into the garage. It's either related to a connection to the electricity or gas. I got out of the car and the garage reeked of gasoline. Bad sign. Really bad. Don't blow up on me, please. I called the service and found out they were busy all week. Well, I'm too scared to drive my car and busing to work will probably require me to leave home by 6:30am so I think I'll want this fixed asap. I'm going to take some hours off tomorrow morning to see if there are any well timed cancellations. Don't blow up on my way there, please. I promise I won't speed, I swear.
