[Wednesday, April 9, 2003: Dream Sequence: Car Colonel.]

I heard on the radio that Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend, so we'll be losing an hour on Saturday. (Well, Sunday morning.)

We've got a winter storm warning as well today. Great, the day we decide to go on a trip to Vermont. Hopefully it won't be too bad a drive.

I still remember parts of last night's dream. I remember seeing Dangerman showing up at the house one day dressed up in some sort of military uniform cackling evilly for having infultrated the family and stealing all of our passwords. I was given a piece of paper that looked like a ticket with large words written on it:

"Get into car."

So I went outside and was about to step into the waiting limosine when I remembered that they can't do anything to you while you were still in the house so I quickly snuck back inside. While I was there, I saw Dangerman on one of our computers downloading all of our information..

I was going to register the car today, so I went by HW's place to pick up the papers and went to the ministry to get the car registered. When I arrived, I handed the lady the information and she told me that the back of the owner's certificate needed to be signed by the previous owner. *looks at slip* Doh! The bill of sale wasn't signed either. I wasn't going to be faking the signature right in front of her, so I decided to go. She then asked me if I had a Used Vehicle Information Package and I told her that I didn't.

While I was filling out the application form for the Used Vehicle Information Package, some Chinese guy came up to me and asked me in Cantonese,

"Do you know Chinese?"

To which I basically said no, so he asked in Cantonese,

"Do you know English?"

Apparently this guy was really in dire straits language-wise, so I decided to try helping him out. He showed me the form he was filling out and all of the forms that he had on hand so I was able to piece together what sort of things he needed to fill in. Then one thing that I couldn't translate was the odometer reading. Eventually, I just asked him for "milage" and fortunately he understood what I was asking for. Whew! My good deed for the day done!

Anyway, I got my Used Vehicle Information Package and I'll need to get that signed. *sigh* I went back to HW's place to drop off the paperwork and went back to work.
