Right... so continuing on the bad week I was having, the weekend was also not fun. I was supposed to go to a friends wedding Saturday afternoon. In the interest of not missing work I did not leave for the wedding on Friday. Instead Saturday morning I started off around 10 am for a wedding that started at 2 pm (it was a three hour trip so...) About sixty miles out of Atlanta my car started making a freaky buzzing noise. I was truly weirded out so I pulled over and called triple A. I waited about 2 hours for a tow truck >.< Then the tow truck driver did show up and ... he was kind of scary. A true redneck... did not believe in evolution (how he got on that topic I'm not sure... must have been the CDC tags on my car) and he carried a GUN in the truck with him (I don't care if he was carrying a gun... I DON'T want to know about it). He did not tow me to the nearest station like I asked because although it was 2 pm he said I needed to go to one that would be open past dinner time (omg wtf? and then the one he did tow me to closed at 5 pm anyway). All of this ended up being irrelevant when the tow truck driver figured out what was wrong with my car in the parking lot of the repair place (they would not see me because they had too many cars already)... it was a dust cover in the wheel well that had come loose >.< Not life threatening or anything in fact it's still not fixed. Well needless to say the tow truck driver did not take credit card and I carry a check card, not a check book... We had to drive to a bank, the nearest one was another 6 miles away, which he charged me for even though he did not tow me there. The bill ended up being $100 and he tried to charge me $120 but I'm quite good at math and knew from the triple A people that he could only charge $2.50 a mile... so I corrected him on his error and told him what a jerk he was for trying to steal money from an unpaid intern. ^^;;
And as far as the wedding goes, I asked my friend who I would have given a ride home to to let my friends know why I wasn't at the wedding (so they wouldn't think I was a total flake or something) .. unfortunately she forget to let them know >.<
Then, or course, I had to move out of the apartment, as well as my house, this weekend. It was not fun at all (not even slightly) and I am so very sore I never want to move again. The place we are in now is a godawful mess and.. to make matters worse there is something up with the internet and I can't get my computer online ;_; Dad is of course blaming this on me for telling him what router to buy then again he's the one who asked me to do research on that shit and I find it highly suspicious that I can't get the software for the router to open up on his computer even though that was working when I last checked . Needless to say I don't think this is going to be a fun summer. I hope the FFXI people don't delete my account before I am able to get online again and pay them for next month!
