Got my first work performance review in 2 1/2 years yesterday. Needless to say, we have differences in perception of what's going on. Also, not really happy to be reminded that in the 9 years I've spent making high-end musical instruments for a living, my wages have gone up less than $2 an hour.

In addition to that, my car had a "check engine" light yesterday, as if I needed more to worry about. It turned out to be a loose gas cap, but still annoying.
