a little memery before sleepytime.

The trouble with this kind of tests is, in probably 30 or 40 of the 75 questions I was not comfortable with the options presented as a binary choice.  It's not even that they're not mutually exclusive; they're not exclusive at all.  I am, for example, soft-hearted and tough-minded, the one because of the other.

But anyway.  Here's my Meyers-Briggs profile, and that other thing -- which, in my experience I'm better at visual-spatial than it seems to suggest, but otherwise, sure.  Also, you can't see it on here, but I totally got a mere 5% for "naturalist", which is just funny.

annoying car things

So it turns out I nicked the paint on some teenager's brand-new Lexus in the parking lot this morning.  I looked when I got out of the car and didn't see any damage, so I didn't leave a note, but she apparently could see it when she emerged, and then couldn't find me, so there were police and gah.  No big deal now, because once I came out (she'd gone) and said yes, I own this car, what seems to be the trouble, they put us in touch and it's all going to be a pain in my ass but hey, that's why we have insurance, right?  (She's going to call me with the estimate, but who am I kidding, of course I'm going to let her insurance make a claim against my insurance -- I can't really afford to look at a Lexus, much less fix one.)

More crucially, before I realized the police wanted to talk to me I noticed that my front license plate was missing.  It was nowhere around, and it's not in my parking lot here at home, which pretty much maxes out the places I could expect to find it if it had fallen off there.  So I need to get a new one, obviously.  Trouble is, my registration expires in August, so I have to renew it to get a new plate at this point.  In order to renew the registration, I have to do the safety and emissions inspection.  I'm not worried about emissions, but until I get the windshield replaced, I won't be able to pass the safety.  In short:  at least using the online ordering system, I can't get new plates until I get the windshield fixed.  But I have to keep driving the car -- so tomorrow's first call is to the DMV to say hi, please can you send me a replacement plate, and also put me on a list of people not to give tickets for driving without one until it gets here?

God.  If I'd left work at five, only half of this would have happened.  :-P

update re: annoying car stuff

But I called my brother, mainly to say Yay no more bar exam!, and then ranted for a while about the car stuff and he listened well and said wise things because he's a good kid.

Sigh.  It'll all be fine.  Dammit.
