to clean
March 04, 2006 - 1:12 pm

so.. last night after work i tried to get gas. a rather normal and routine thing to do.. however, the metal (plastic?) flap that covers the gas cap.. wouldn't open. it would move about a half in or so, but that's it. i tried to use my keys as leverage, but no luck.

either it was somehow internally iced shut or something had gone horribly wrong.

i had a 1/4 tank, so no big deal.

this morning i get some water to boiling.. fill a water bottle and dose the thing -- getting as much inside the flap as i could without burning msyelf. no burns were incurred. the darn thing still wouldn't open.

so i decided to go to the saturn store... and i'd ask for an oil change too. why not? needed something "worth" going there for..

in the parking lot, before going inside, i decide to try it one more time.. you know, to avoid the whole "i swear it was jammed" dork sputtering.

it opened. it seems ice takes a bit longer to melt than i'd allowed before.

yeah, so.. that was my morning.

my work week was.. interesting. bossman was out all week with a wicked case of the flu. my desire to be anywhere but there as nearly boiled over.

thursday i came up with a plan that just might work.. i was nearly giddy with the idea of it.

regardless, i'm nearly to the point where i don't much care if i've got a job lined up or not. i've some credit i can live on for a bit.

i do need to take my suits to the cleaners.

in fact, cleaning in general needs to be done. that's the goal for today -- to clean.
