there are petty gods angry at me

There must be. Otherwise I cannot explain why everything must break at the same time.

This morning I took my car in for an overdue oil change and minor service. Finals are approaching, and I wanted to get it out of the way.

This afternoon, instead of picking up the car, it is staying another night. Brakes are almost gone, need to be replaced. My minor little service is going to cost at least $220 more than what I was expecting.

Stupid petty gods.

If that is all they are asking for, feel grateful. :) It could be much, much worse.

You could have pissed off the Major Gods, causing them to screw up your social security info, thus denying you the ability to renew your drivers license. And then have your transmission bearing go south, your steering rack leak big time, and the check from the sale of your house go astray.

Could be worse. :)

See, that's why I think I've only angered the petty gods. If I hadn't had a quickly recoverable iBook, perhaps I would have suspected a major god. But these are just nitpicky, annoying things. Stuff that I don't want to deal with approaching finals, but nothing that's really going to knock me out.
