Quotidianities

The car had a flat yesterday. Spouse came to my office and changed the tire (yes, I am perfectly capable of changing my own tire; however, not when I'm wearing a skirt and heels) and pronounced the flat irreparable. The sidewall is cracked. Joy. So this morning I get to buy tires. Two of them, because one of the front tires is nearly bald. I so love spending time in the waiting room at automotive places. Well, at least I can get a little reading done, and release a book or two.

My boss had me sit in on an interview yesterday. He's interviewing for a new hire and needed a third person for a panel interview. Yep, if you want to get hired by my agency, you get grilled by three people in your interview. He said it was "development" for me as well, since he knows I want to move up. Luckily, he provided a list of standard questions because I was clueless. [grin] After the interview, I had to write an evaluation of the prospect. A little scary. I thought she did well, though, and wrote something vaguely coherent and positive on the eval sheet.

And now, off to the tire store. Whee.

Amazing.

The difference new tires makes in the way my car feels while driving, that is. New tires on the front, everything aligned and balanced and at one with the cosmos. No more squishy steering and cornering, no more drifting to the left if I take my hands off the wheel (you know, to answer the ringing cell phone), just true and straight and firm and right. Lovely.
