New Car

This afternoon ended much better than this morning.

After the postman finally came to the door and declared that he would deliver my package tomorrow!, I decided, "screw that, I'm going to the freakin' post office." So I did. And I got my package.

The FL bad boy said he would send a check for my credit card payments (he owes me about$15k still), and he did, but instead of the nice $5k I was anticipating (although euphemistically), it was a mere $500. Which will be fine, I suppose. It'll pay my credit card bill and hep get me into the apartment.

Anyway, I finally got down to work about 3:00pm to give HR my passport. Instead of sticking around 2 hours of untrained work, I drove down to CarMax... and got a car!

Yes, I got the Mazda 3 which I posted previously. And I didn't even pay a dime. Granted, my monthly payment is over $400 (about the same as my rent), but hey, it's doable. And I have 3 days to shop around for better financing.

I met up with my friends for happy hour and first friday, and we had fun. Now I'm back home with my little Parker baby, eating pringles, and am pretty generally happy.
