So the Audi mothership called me back yesterday, and the nice woman I talked to didn’t believe any more than I did that the car had been built in Ireland. (The VIN was American.) The best she could figure was the part had been built in Ireland, not that she knew if there was an Irish Audi parts manufacturer. Anyway, *she* was told that the technician (technician, when did they become technicians? I thought they were mechanics) who was working on my car had been out sick for an entire…

*laugh* Ted’s working on a paper for school and was saying he guessed he was going to have to go back and add filler. I said, “What font are you using?” Times New Roman. “Change it to Courier.” The paper suddenly goes from 4 pages to 7 (it’s supposed to be 7). I come look at his screen and say,”That’s single-spaced.” He double-spaces it. Suddenly it’s 11 pages. He says, “Ack!’ I say, “Change it back to TNR, and here, you’re writing it like it’s a webpage, with double space…
not a whole heck of a lot
Not much to report today. We went and watched “Taxi” yesterday, which was generally pretty bad, but has Queen Latifah, which makes up for some of the badness. :) And we watched the first half of The Peacekeeper Wars, which made us happy, although I thought many of the characters were more…manic…than they’d been when last we saw them. It was a little odd. But Claudia Black has put the five important pounds she lost back on, and looks wonderful, and she and Ben Browder are *almost* as sexy together…
*beam*
*beam* I sent email to my cover artist to say thank you, because, I mean, *wow*, and I thought I might not hear back from him, but in fact I did and he seemed very pleased that an author had taken time out to send him some positive feedback. I’ve asked if it’s okay for me to link to him, which I wouldn’t usually do, but Luna doesn’t seem to make much acknowledgement of cover artists, and I want to make sure that’s an HQ decision, not the artist’s. (I…
audi update
Well, I just finally called the Audi mothership. After sitting on hold for a very long time (during which I attempted to compose an email which would fit into their 1200 character limit on their website) a very nice woman answered and listened to me rant about this incredibly frustrating situation. She took my complaint and the mothership will be contacting the Morrison Auto Group on Monday. I should hear from them (the mothership, although I expect to hear from the MAG, too) Monday or Tuesday. *Very* frustrating. :P
