This week is turning into a drudge. We’re still WFH officially until July 6th and likely longer but I’m on-call this week which means I can’t walk away from my phone for more than a few minutes and every time the damn thing goes bring I have to look at it. This is my second on-call during the pandemic and the first was not good for my mental health and I doubt this one will be either...
On other news I paid off my sportwagen last week!
I’ve had it for 18 months and about 25k miles, monthly driven has plummeted this year though. I’ve only put one tank of gas in it since mid-march, it does get 500 miles per tank but still that’s a long time between fillups!
I love the car and now that it’s paid off I have to keep stopping myself from saying ‘well now that there’s some extra room in the budget how about I buy one of these?’ I imagine this is a common problem here though...
The Sportwagen still has 6 months left on the CPO warranty - nothing has required any attention yet (knock on wood). I do have some postponed mods I plan on doing here in the next couple weeks and a few others I’m thinking about (head unit upgrade) but this car is both a great road trip beast and I love it for around town and home depot trips. I will definitely try to keep it for several more years.
On job hunting related news my call last week went great, they’re going to interview a few more candidates the next couple weeks with me maybe needing to do another interview or two. The boss said he hopes to have a decision by mid-June but that date seems optimistic as they gave me a similar goal last time and it took them 8 weeks to make a decision. The job would require relocation to the SF Bay area but they’re very flexible on that right now saying I could take a year to move, but he also mentioned that right now is the best time in years to get a deal on housing. I’m still optimistic about my chances and very excited about the opportunity - thanks for all the support for the last call Oppo - you guys and gals are awesome! I’ll let everyone know how it progresses from here.
