I don't know how I always do this to myself. My oil light went on when I started my car but then it would turn off. This has been happening for about a week. Since I've blown 2 engines and I didn't check my oil for awhile I decided to just drive to Autozone at lunchtime where the salesman probably thought I was a sucker AND I am. He sold me the package deal they have going on now with a super big bottle of oil, bucket, funnel, towels, filter and some handcleaning stuff. My brother taught me how to check the oil so I did with some kleenex since I usually have a box in the car. My car had NOOO oil in it and I suppose I was ripe for blowing engine #3.

Instead I used the ENTIRE ENORMOUS BOTTLE of oil with my new funnel. I am VERY blessed. There is no way I can afford a new car now. I'd have to beg my brother to get me one AND use the bus system in town. He did buy me a car after I blew my first engine. He wouldn't have done it but the spirit told him to do that. Looove the spirit!!! I just might not survive suddenly having no car. Actually that is really not good. I need to have a nice healthy savings account. If I was suddenly left without a car it would take me a couple months to save for one. I should have at least $5000 in the bank so if I was desperate I could buy myself a crappy used car. Actually $4000 would probably do it. You are supposed to have enough money in the bank to live for 3 months if anything happened and you suddenly lose your job.

The computer dean wanted to meet with me about possibly getting us a new lrs-learning resource system. I made an unhealthy McDonalds run but that was all I had time for before the meeting AND I need to shop so although I had leftover fried rice for breakfast, I got hungry again. Now that I'm done with the thesis monster I have time and I should look into open source options so I can work WITH Dale and not just accept something he finds. Hopefully my chair emails me quickly so I can get my MBA conferred. I'm giving her a week before I email her again. I need to make sure I have copies of all my degrees so I can post them in my library and make my director happy.

I'm pretty sure I have my Master of Library Science degree in SLC but I think I need to order another BYU-Hawaii Degree for my BA in English. 

I can do that after I finish this blog entry. They have frames at the dollar store but I think I like the frames at family dollar better. I put MLS on my LinkedIn Profile. This librarian I know Britton Lund and my corporate boss have email signatures with their degrees. My corporate boss Jan La Bard, MBA and then Britton Lund, MLS, MPA-I'm going to do the equally obnoxious Puanani Mateaki, MLS, MBA when I FINALLY get it.What I love about my thesis is it allowed me to discover what an advantage my degree combination is. I don't have many years of experience BUT my education will compensate for a lot of that and let me demand a higher wage. That was THE POINT.

What I do like about my degree also is that there are libraries EVERYWHERE!!! It can be used anywhere.
