So, at 8:00 this morning I finally roll out of bed and go to my computer to start printing pictures to send off to the Daddy. At 8:30, I go outside and start my car because its freaking freezing outside and I don't want to enter a car and suddenly realize that I'm a popcycle stuck in the freezer burn of the freezer that is my car; no hope of thaw til someone starts chipping their way in. I got back into my nice, warm house, collected the pictures and went back out to my car...
...I locked it. RUNNING. So, I tried to break into the car. Nope. OH! THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS UNLOCKED! YAY! Put my stuff in the car-- purse complete with wallet, cell phone, my little scrap of papers with phone numbers on it... and close the door, not remembering to be SMART and TURN OFF MY AUTOMATIC LOCK-THE-DOOR IMPULSE. And lock myself out of my car... for a second time. Woo, yay.
I use the next-door neighbor's cell to call work and say, "OOPS!" but then I run back home to find a # to call a tow truck ... and the neighbor goes to work. Or goes somewhere. I dunno, he's not there, probably school or work. Anyway. So... I have to walk down to the store accross from the school. FYI, Its like 17 outside and that's about a mile away. So I walk. I call a tow, ta da, they say they'll be here in like 45 minutes, so I go home--- And guess what? I forgot to call work. Okay. Well. Fuck.
So... I SIT here. For OVER AN HOUR. They come, RIGHT BEFORE ALAN GETS HERE. Dude, if I knew it was going to take that long, I'd have freaking just waited for Alan to go on lunch. So, they come here at 11:21. I was supposed to go to work at 9 and work until 1. So I didn't go to work. I lost an after-tax total of 28 dollars today. Luckily, the tow guy was nice and let me not have to pay him the $35 odd bucks to break into my car.
THIS HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE MORNING.
