alexander and the terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad day
I tried to be ontime today. I knew how busy we would be. Stupid car. Wouldn't start. It's been threatening for days, I thought the battery was low. But, as I had to pay rent yesterday, I couldn't really go get a new battery. So, this morning, won't start at all. When I turn the key, stuff turns on, but the engine won't turn over. I guess I should have realized then that it wasn't the battery, but the battery light comes on when the engine doesn't start, so I assumed.
Anyway, mom had to come pick me up and take me to work. I was half an hour late, and already, things had hit the fan. Stuff didn't get printed because of printing issues, color issues - not my fault, but still. We're all...a lot on edge. I'm "at lunch" at the moment, meaning eating the cup of rice I happened to have in my desk and some crackers. :P
Oh and the car? Dad tried to jump it. It's not the battery. AAA is being called to come and get it. Grr.
