My office mate just chided me for being concerned with my car's rag top.
I came out this morning to find that the roof over my parking space had spewed some sort of water-based crap on my new car's convertible top. At first I thought it was just water but when I got out in the sunlight (extremely rare for Seattle, I know) I could see that it was a whitish deposit.
I quickly stopped at an Albertson's and picked up a gallon of spring water and brushed the top down with a microfibre cloth (thank goodness for having treated it last week). Seems to have taken the crud off.
As I was relating this to my office mate this morning she started to chuckle and then guffaw (she's talented). I was then chastised to the effect "you're obviously not going to find happiness, the woman of your dreams, nor advance your career" because of this incident. Very Zen of her. Yes, it puts things in perspective but I like having at least one thing in my life that is "very nice" and I definitely want to keep it that way.
It's a conflict. But resolving that in some graceful way will definitely advance me on the path, no?
Besides, it's a Porsche for God's sake.
Gotta have some perspective.
