Done This Week

So, I guess I’ll go with the option of being grateful, as is appropriate for the gods’ luckiest fool. Apparently, it had been longer than I realized since I checked the oil in my car. Which is weird, because I have a distinct memory of doing so, but I guess that was in a bygone age??? And because it’s not enough for one thing to go wrong, the level sensor must be busted, because it never gave me a low warning, despite the light on the dash being technically functional. My “warning” was the engine smoking.

Long story short, I had a rather harrowing experience of thinking I might have murdered my car. It’s fine. Everything’s fine. No need to panic. ⊙﹏⊙

Though we had our misgivings, the holiday meal that our manager set up for my team ended up being spectacular. I still think he’s a ninny about professional matters, but I can hardly find fault with an entirely homemade prime rib lunch. Yum!
