Daily Grin September 10
Life lesson #32751: never believe that the autobody shop can get the correct part for your slightly odd car on the first or second try.
The body shop called me this afternoon to tell me that the mirror they ordered had arrived, they matched it up to the photo they took of the mirror frame and it looks like a match. So... after a very hectic frustrating crazy day at work, I drove to this place and was not too happy to learn that the mirror doesn't fit. They have now taken a "tracing" of the mirror frame and will be certain that any subsequent mirrors will match the tracing before they call me to come back AGAIN! Actually, I think the next time they think they have the right mirror, they can drive to where I work and install it there. In the meantime, I am still waiting for my side mirror.
I'm glad the weekend is here, because I sure need a few days off!! Have fun!! J

Absolutely Vital Things to Know About Taking a Bath
When you leave a bath to run by itself, the plug jumps just as you leave the bathroom and you return to an empty bath just as the hot water runs out.
Spiders can run round the bath faster than you can.
If you run a bath too hot, you don't realize this until you sit in the other end and burn your rear end.
It is physically impossible to turn a tap on or off with your foot.
When you lie back in the bath, your right foot slips forward until it is positioned exactly beneath the dripping tap.
The odd flannel you are using to wash yourself is not a flannel at all; it is a sock which has fallen from above.
The dirt you wash off yourself gathers on the surface of the water and then re-attaches itself to you as you rise to leave.
Lost soap is ALWAYS behind you.
When you get out of the bath, the first bit you dry is the one bit you just realized you forgot to wash.
However hard you dry yourself, you are still wet when you put your clothes on.
