I had my first ever departmental meeting today! I will say nothing of it besides that, if you have ever had a departmental meeting, you know what those three hours were like. We have an office wide meeting on Friday.

The radiator joint called today. Price quote is $150, which is a lot of money but it’s not horrible, considering what has to happen. See, my drain plug went missing on me. I’m not sure how, but I noticed that I was leaking coolant and I kept adding more and limping along until one day when I went to fill my empty radiator, the coolant went straight through and onto the ground. Well, the shop took a look at it and realized that somebody replaced my radiator with some nonstandard thing – which doesn’t take a standard drain plug, which is why the one from Autozone didn’t work. So they’re going to take the radiator out and rebore the drain plug hole so it’ll work with a standard drain plug. So $150 isn’t bad for what’s happening, IMO. Fortunately my roommate was awesome-sauce enough to find a ride to work today so that I could borrow his car. Thanks Dan.

Also: you know you’re a bachelor when you’re reduced to eating a fifty cent can of beans out of a mug with a plastic spoon for lunch.
