One-eyed truck

My route up to [livejournal.com profile] lady_curmudgeon's place involves a good portion of I-294. For those who don't live in the Chicago area and thus have no reason to know about this road, I-294 is a major loop for I-94. It is also currently undergoing major reconstruction in a number of places.

This is gonna hurt the Expy more than it hurts me. )
In the end I'm okay and the truck is more than okay to drive. It just needs some work done to it. Seeing as how I have nobody to blame but myself for this situation I can't be too angry about it. My only goal at this point is to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

[Edit at 1149 4/14: I have to wonder how much of this damage could have been minimized if I'd just given myself this really nice grill and brush guard for Christmas last year, eh?]

How much do I suck?

I overslept last night and missed a Blind Robins show last night that I had been invited to. I feel badly about it, because I was looking forward to it and several of my friends from work were also attending. This just goes to teach me that I don't mix with power-naps. I got home, fed Ra, changed clothes and then took a nap with the intent of leaving for the show afterward. When I woke up it was ten after one in the morning and the show was pretty much over. Maybe this was for the best, though. I got woken up at 7 this morning by our help desk and the tickets really haven't stopped coming down the pipe since.

The good news is that in a few weeks the Robins will be doing a show up in Rockford at Mary's Place. I should be able to make that, and I wager at least one of the coworkers who were at last night's show will be at Mary's for this one as well.

They've invented the telephone?!
