–and driving a Sherman Tank.
There’s this movie called Tank that we have at work, and the tagline is:
James Garner is at war–and driving a Sherman Tank.
For some reason, that really cracks me up. I’ve decided that that’s going to be my new tagline: Scooter Burch is at lunch–and driving a Sherman Tank. Scooter Burch is at work–and driving a Sherman Tank.
Aside from driving Sherman Tanks (OK, I’ll come clean– I’ve never actually driven one… YET.) Yesterday I forgot my wallet at work and had to scrape together $2 to get to work. That was exciting. Thank goodness I had remembered my change purse and had about $2.13 in it. Today I left my coat at work, which has my keys in the pocket. Luckily, the last time I thought I had lost my keys I made an extra house key which I hid outside my door. Now I can use that one!
All this flakiness and I forgot the real most exciting thing in my life: ALL MY PARKING TICKETS ARE PAID!!! I paid them ALL, including the ones in stupid stinky Cambridge. I’m going back to Ole NY on Friday, and because the airline company who screwed up my ticket in March doesn’t have any record of it, I was going to have to get a whole new ticket. Moth said she’d give me the money to get my car back on the road instead and I could drive. So… here I am, ticket-free! I plan on NEVER getting another ticket again as long as I live. Also, in the unlikely event that I do get some kind of ticket, I will pay it immediately and not wait for it to rack up a billion dollars in fees. They don’t mess around in Massachusetts– I had to pay the 3 tickets that were on my last car as well, even though that car has been totalled since about 2005.
Let that be a lesson to me. Or something.
It will be awesome having my car back, though. I kind of missed it. Carrying large bags of cat litter on a bike isn’t very much fun, especially now that one of the brakes on my bike is dead and it’s getting colder out. Besides, now I can one again travel the length and breadth of the state to be the Official Inventory Bitch again. Yay.
