Things I've been wanting to Share Pt1

These are old news now, but maybe they will be equally entertaining as they would have been had I posted them at the time of the haps.

Let me take you back to two Tuesdays ago. It was a cold November 18th. I was driving our crappy "in case of" car because mine was in the shop being worked on. I was driving to work in the morning when 10 miles away from my office it starts to act weird. I decide that I must have a tire going down, so I decide to pull over before it blows completely. I pull over to the side of the road and my car dies completely. --Weird-- So I start to checkout my gauges. To the far right, I see the problem. I RAN OUT OF GAS! This damn car didn't even have a light that turns on to alert me of the problem. Stupid thing! So here I am on a very cold windy morning, in an old rusty car. Broken down, 10 miles from my office.

Luckily, the car started again and I was able to make it another mile before it died on me again. I was able to coast up an exit ramp. Then I called a coworker and asked him what a person does in this sort of situation. He first laughed at me, then told me he had a gallon of gas in his garage because he runs out of gas more often then a person should. So he came to my rescue! Yippie. It was totally embarrassing because of the way my car looked. No one even stopped to ask if I needed help. I think it was because they saw my ugly car and thought that this must happen to me all the time.

Thank GOD for cell phones! and that I actually had mine with me that day!

Everybody thinks their a comedian at my office when it comes to my sport.

Crappy Car Days Continued

Well, my shitty car did it to me again. But this time, at least it was only two blocks away from my house, and at noon instead of middle of the night. I had just gotten gas, and when I tried to turn my car back on, it didn't want to start. Same frickin' thing as last time. Basically, my Security light comes on, and thinks I'm a thief so it won't let me start it.

So I had to get out, and ask the creep sex molester gas attendant to help me push my car out of the gas stall into a parking space until I could get it towed. Another thing that really sucked was that it was Sunday and nothing was open. So pretty much had to sit at home and do nothing. OK. I did some cleaning and some laundry.

So then this morning I called the dealership and they gave me some tips on how to get it started so I could drive it to them to get fixed. $460 later, I think it's fixed. If it's not then I'm leaving it where it dies and buying a new car. Piece of crap!

Perfect Day, Shitty Night

I had a very good day.  Not to crazy at work, nice weather, blah blah blah.  Then I went to my second job.  All was well there too.  I made my sales goal, and got out of their in good time. 

Headed to my car.

Got in car. 

Car no start.

"WTF?!" 

 

I was not a happy camper. After trying to start it five or six times, I decided to walk back into the building to try and call a cab. During my time of trying to start my car, I thought back to all the times Lilagirl and I had troubles with her car.  I swear, she had 3 cars in one year of high school and all of them died with starter issues.  We spent many an hour in parking lots pissed off at her cars.   So I sat there thinking of all the things that were wrong with her cars to try to figure out the problem with mine.  Then I decided, "Screw it.  I'm a girl.  I'm calling a taxi." 

 

Turns out, some lady gave me a ride home.  So my crappy car is sitting at the mall.  DJ said he'd bring me up one of the crappy cars he has and take my car home with him to work on or have worked on.  Which makes me happy even though it's a pain in the ass.  But at least he's not making me tow my car to some expensive dealer here in town.

 

I'm going to run over there at lunch and see if it miraculously starts.  DJ thinks it might be an issue with my computer going haywire.  Figures.  Damn computers!  Down with Computers!  Oh wait, I take that back because if that happened, I'd be out of a job....
