But in other news, I've got a job as a security officer. It's just a temp thing, though. Stereotypically, the security office had donuts. I had one I hadn't had in a long time, Boston Creme. Unsurprisingly, these are difficult to get far away from Boston. They're pretty good, but don't feel like you're missing a whole lot if you've never had one.
Wow. Boring life, boring blog posts.
I'm also trying to get a feel for the Montero, which I will be assuming ownership of soon. It's making disturbing noises during turning at speed. After some consultation, I have reason to believe that it's a CV joint. Not a fun replacement, but not terribly difficult I don't think. It sounds like there's a gremlin hanging on under the car, smacking away at something with a hammer. It happens pretty rarely- only when making sudden or tight turns at decent speed. Not super-urgent, but kind of unnerving.
I'm trying to think of something else to write; that's usually a good indication that nothing you have to say is interesting, so I'll stop now.

Good news, bad news
Good news: I cleared the hurdle of packing up and departing LETU.
Bad news: Massachusetts is extremely boring.
Seriously boring. I just took a walk. Come on, that's totally AARP territory right there. I was so bored that I took a walk for no reason whatsoever. It's not that there's anything bad about walking, but I should have something better to do. I suppose the transition from the end-of-year hustle(e.g. bustle) to doing absolutely nothing is rather jarring.
When I'm bored at LETU, I just walk down the hall, and 80% of the time someone will need to talk to you, something interesting will be happening, something. Here in MA, though, all my high school friends/acquaintances are mostly drunks. What to do? I've looked for a job, but I'm only here 2.5 weeks so nobody wants to hire for that short, and there's no temp work in a town this small.
Bonus: I just remembered that my potato cannon is in storage here. I must acquire.
What else can I do? The Montero needs to have its brakes bled. However, anytime that I have access to the Montero I'm going to be out doing something. Video games? Perhaps. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of San Andreas. Hmm. Suggestions? (Seriously, leave a comment. I'm talking to myself here)
