Club Car vs Put-put

I'm doing an internship on the Paramount lot.  The company has a small club car that I can drive around should I need to make a run.  I had to make a mail run and was very excited about it so I emailed Brittany:

Me: I got to drive the club car again this morning.  Wahoo.

Brittany:  Does it feel like you are driving your car?  I would imagine it would feel identical.

Randomness

I got an email from a friend this week:

"So, I was looking through a friend’s photo album and saw her wedding picture, pictures of her little boy, and then what?

"Why was Jamie always between the two of you in pictures?"

Good question, T.  Thanks for the laugh :)

Commuting

Irony:

When I lived in New York I missed driving.  Living in SoCal, I now miss walking...

Car problems

It is always funny (not) when something so small creates such a big problem.  I had to take my car in because it was making weird sounds and started to act funny.  Apparently there was a problem with the thermostat.

Here is the thermostat:

You will have to look closely at the picture below.  If you notice the bottom of the thermostat, close to my thumb, there is a small gap where you can see the desk.  It is very small.  Let's just say that the gap isn't suppose to be there.  The black ring around it is rubber and is suppose to keep the gap tight so no air can get in.  Well, it didn't do its job and enough air got in that the thermometer wouldn't work to put my car in overdrive.

Hopefully the new thermostat will work correctly.

Sigh...

Frugality

I generally try to be aware of random fees or ways in which businesses try to get money out of people.  Parking is one of them.

At my internship, I had a parking pass I would use but I always had to leave it at the office.  So, I'd park, run to the office, grab the pass, drive my car out with using the 2-hour free pass and go back in with the parking pass.  At the end of the day I'd reverse it.  By doing this, I avoided having to pay for parking.

That is, until my last day.  I left the office around 6 pm to go move my car.  Little did I know (well, I'm sure I knew at some point but spaced it) that at 6 pm you no longer get 2-hours for free.  Sucks that I got the ticket at 6:02 pm...

$5 worth of frustration.

Disneyland

Sometimes you see cool people at Disneyland.  Yesterday, Chang from "Community".  Tomorrow: I'm excited to see who it will end up being...
