At Least I Had A Sandwich

Once again Herr Bus has gone kaput. Nothing major (I hope), probably only the points being cranky, but it sure is annoying to break down in the middle of a major arterial.

Thank goodness for AAA; once again the $45 a year pays for itself. Still, having to wait for over an hour for the tow truck to arrive while irate drivers honk at you (I guess pulling over to the side of the road and turning on your emergency flashers just doesn't mean what it used to) does get a bit annoying, but at least it gave me plenty of time to polish of the Peco's Pit pulled pork sandwich (medium-hot, gorilla and spike it) I'd just ordered.

So, now it's nearly three hours later, Herr Bus has been dropped off at one of his favorite garages, I'm back at my desk and only had one voice-mail and three emails to deal with -- not bad for a long lunch break, although I would have preferred at least one lunch-time cocktail for my trouble and aggravation. I suppose it's just as well, since I now have about 1 1/2 pounds of smoked pork & hot link nestling comfortably inside me, and my current inclination is to curl up underneath my desk sgnp-style for a mid-afternoon nap.

Except that now my phone won't stop ringing...
