when free, isn't

Today has been one adventure after another. And for a "Monday-after-a-three-day-weekend," I've rather enjoyed myself. Rather.

My two big lessons of the day: 1) Stopping is expensive and 2) I hate conference calls.

I had to run to work today to get on a conference call. Granted, as much as I enjoyed getting paid for sitting and doing nothing for an hour and a half and only speaking three sentences, it was pretty boring to just sit and scroll through my old emails.

Second, I took my car to the repair shop to get the brakes replaced. $48.90, or something like that, right?

WRONG.

After a "free" brake inspection, it was determined that I needed to get $209 in brake repair (so much for free). So, several hours, several sudokus, several crosswords, and several hundred dollars later, my car is now officially...umm...better.

And if I was in control of my life, I'd think that I should start worrying.
