Day 10

Shit-tastic. 

So, my temperature gauge has been flashing at me for a few days now, but only at start up.  It’s happened in the past and was just low fluid.  I scheduled an appointment last week to take it in tomorrow, but wouldn’t you figure…while taking Max to school this morning, the damn thing went off every 5 to 10 minutes.  Just flashing and beeping at me like crazy.  

I had 2 options to get to work because, I don’t know about you, but getting stranded somewhere between Indiana and Chicago just doesn’t strike me as wise. 

I could either take the South Shore into the city, then hop the red line to the stop near work –OR—I could telecommute.  The first option wouldn’t have put me into the office until noon at the earliest, so I had to take the second option.  It was nice because I was still able to get done what I needed to finish, but it really would have been nicer to be in the actual office.

C’est la vie, right?
