My roommate wants to meet everybody. Because I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm making Dwight up.

Update on the car sitch:

Well, it looks to be the fuel pump. However, due to the positioning on the particular make and model of car, we'd have to move the fuel tank. Not something that the average home mechanic can really do, in addition to it not being allowed in the parking lot of our apartment complex.

So, we have to wait at least a couple of weeks to take one of the two cars (whichever one is the less expensive fix) to the mechanic, so we're bumming rides off of people to get to and from work. Mom said she was going to call someone she knows who knows about cars to come and try to pinpoint the specific problem. I doubt she's going to do it. She has a tendency to "forget" to do such stuff and I can only remind her so many times...

Also, some friends of ours had some professional pictures of thier new baby taken and posted them on Facebook. They're very nice. Mom is a little discouraged because she'd done a photo shoot as well and hers look... different. They're good, just of a different caliber than the others. I sent her a message saying that while the other pictures were nice, she's still an awesome photographer and that she didn't have a formal "sit-down" with the subject to present her ideas. Starting up a new business from scratch isn't an easy prospect, but it can be done.

Then yesterday I found out that my youngest cousin ran away from her group home/school. She has severe emotional problems and can no longer live at home, so she was sent to a special school for emotionally damaged kids in St. Petersburg. She has no social skills whatsoever. She'd never survive on the streets. But, it turned out good and she was found, unharmed and is back home. Temporarily at least.

Sorry if I seemed a little pissed at people. Given the circumstances, I think it's somewhat understandable... Still, I apologize to everyone.

So my weekend has pretty much sucked. How was yours?
