Friday Afternoon Confessional: God speed all the bakers at dawn
I confess that the image in this post from the blog from which I stole today's image is also pretty funny. Or this one. Basically, just scroll through the blog and look for Jesus. (I found the original image -- helpfully pointed out by Anthony -- in a Google Image search for "friday afternoon.")
I confess that yesterday I was reading Kant (having realized, much to my delight, that one is expected to do some reading even before the first class of 20th Century), and every time he would mention non-European people, I would always tense up and think, "Oh shit, what now?" I confess that I need to go grocery shopping and I really, really don't want to. I confess that I similarly really, really don't want to go get an oil change. I confess that my radio has been messed up since August, almost certainly due to some minor error by the repair shop after my accident, but I haven't taken it back in to get the almost certainly absolutely free repairs because it just seemed like a pain in the ass.
I confess that I've had insurance for four months now and haven't yet gone in for a checkup (as I had in fact planned to do), again because it just seemed like a pain in the ass. I confess that I sometimes feel like a chump for having gotten the insurance plan in the first place, but I will definitely have to have insurance to enroll in that class at the Div School anyway, and the only cheaper option is to pay about half as much for basically no coverage whatsoever. At least my plan waives the deductible for the first few office visits, making a valuable token gesture toward preventive care.
I confess that I'm a cad.
