The Occasional Solipsist

Though I might wish (only a little mind you) that the something going on in my backseat was more demonstrative of mine and my wife's uncanny ability to bend ourselves into all kinds of interesting positions, I'm talking about something totally different.

Well now that I think about that, maybe it's about as demonstrative as you can get.

I installed our baby's carseat this afternoon, with only a minimum of swearing and seat-punching. The swearing was due in large part to my spending 15 minutes looking for something called a UAS anchor bolt, which I found out later was added to vehicles made after 1998.

Fuck.

And the seat-punching stems completely from closing my hand in the back wall of the backseat after realizing that said UAS anchor bolt was narry to be found.

And it now seems that with each preparation for the upcoming baby, our animals are getting further relegated to obscurity.

One case in point would be the recent removal of Maya's bed from our bedroom to make way for the bassinet that I put together. (There's another MAJOR swearing story there, but you can fill in the dots on that one).

Another case in point would be the decree that once the carseat goes into the car, Maya stays out of it. Now the carseat is in, and I'm still not sure what to think about the whole Maya free-zone that the car has just become.

But Maya's issues notwithstanding, that carseat seems to be just screaming to take someone for a ride.

And btw, I have been inspired by a blog that I read regularly to add a disclaimer to my about page that I will herein repeat:

... I should probably tell you for the record, if you're someone I work with (or more importantly, for) we'll all be far better served if you just go ahead and leave.

I have no intention of getting dooced, that is, loosing my job because someone I work for read something they either didn't like or didn't agree with (or both) on my site.

So if you are someone I work for and you stay and you get offended, well, don't say I didn't warn you.
