I Got My Baby Back

I think that ever since that damn semi hit my car I have been forbidden to have a happy car. In fact, I can think of about a half dozen times that I have had issues since that day. They include dropping a drive train on the beach, stressing about how my car would fair after the semi, and the brakes going out in my car.

You might say that is only three issues, so stop bitching.

Well my dad volunteered to fix my car since he is a mechanic. That means that I had to drive my mom’s car for about a week (we will add that to the list of car troubles). This last Monday, I went to drive to my fabulous job and her car wouldn’t start. None of the dash lights came on, so I knew it was the battery right off. After charging the battery, it was fine. I have my car back now though which makes me very happy. Turns out that the master cylinder was bad and the rear brakes needed fixing. Also the driver front wheel baring was going out too, so he fixed that.

Which brings me to my next point. Don’t do crack.

Jason has informed me that Microsoft Learning is offer a limited time offer on FREE M$ courses. I guess that’s one of the perks of dating a senior exec’s daughter.

One Month Free Netflix

My gf is currently a subscriber to Netflix. She has sent me a promotion for one month free (I guess it is normally two weeks). To get this deal all you really need to do is click the link in the email and open an account. It does not look like there is a limit to the amount of new accounts she can refer. In fact it would be rather idiotic of Netflix to do so. So if you are in the market to join Netflix, send me a line, and I will forward you the email. Do it quick though, the promotion ends on Oct. 5th.


Stupid PayPal

So, I am in the process of changing banks, and one step in doing so is to change my accounts on PayPal. So, I logged in and did so. This apparently cancels any subscription you may have such as mine with my web host, Zorgo.

Damn you PayPal.
