This morning, I dropped off my van at a local garage for some expensive but fairly routine repairs and maintenance. When I returned this afternoon to pick it up, I discovered that the sliding door and ramp were completely inoperable. The fact that it stopped working while in the shop may be a huge coincidence, but I’m skeptical. Of course, the staff pled ignorance, but they did agree to try to fix it tomorrow in consultation with the dealer’s mechanics. Perhaps it’s something as simple as a disconnected wire (at least, that’s what I’m hoping). I’ve had plenty of shops work on my van and never had a problem like this before. Typically, they leave the modifications alone. But after this incident, I can’t assume that will always be the case.

I thought I’d write something about my unreasonable level of excitement upon receiving my new work computer, but that just seems like a sad commentary on the state of my life. More tomorrow.
