vanillafluffy: (Ruby slippers)

I'm on my way to work to find out whether or not I still have a job. Cranberry red shirt, black and white polka-dot skirt, sequinned ruby slippers. Colorful and brave, at least that's the idea.

I'm at the library, and I need to hit the road like, now, so I don't have time to answer any of y'all's encouraging emails. Thanks.

Wish me luck.

They like to torture me. (We all knew that, right?) Anyway, I STILL don't know, supposedly the Powers-That-Be will have a decision tomorrow. I'm trying to maintain calm in the face of it all, and my mantra is, "Hey, at least I get paid for Tuesday!"

That's a Good Thing, since on Tuesday, my muffler tried to fall off after I left the library. I managed to get it wired back up and was only 15 minutes late, but it stressed me more than I needed to be.

Still sending prayers to appropriate deities.

This seems oddly appropriate: (I have no idea where I ran across it; I'm as much of a packrat online as I am IRL.)


Prayer on a Morning My Car Wouldn't Start


I sit behind the wheel
And finger the keys like a rosary.
Surely there is some prayer
That can move pistons.
If spirits slaughter germs,
Or bring about a sudden burst
Of hope or courage, even love,
Why not something simple, something
Closer to expedience? Why not dispatch
One lonely angel to caress my carburetor,
Fix my fanbelt, or unclog my fuel line,
Just one greasy-winged mechanic,
Inept at saving souls, but damned
Good at getting me on my way.
