My automobile is a piece of crap
The car died yesterday, leaving me stranded at the gas station. It was weird - it started fine when I left work. I drove the mile to the gas station and filled up. Then it just would not start. Like, nothing. No grinding or even a click. The guys at the gas station attempted to give me a jump but nothing happened. I called AAA, who said the tow trucks were running behind and it would be 1-2 hours. Awesome.
The guy got there in a little less than an hour, so I felt a little better. He hooked the little portable jumper-thing to my battery and it started right up. We drove over to the Jeep dealership to test whether it would start again. If not, at least it would be in the right place.
Nothing. After I took the keys out the dome lights flashed for a while. Very odd. AAA called a cab for me and left. I described the problem and put the key in the drop box. Then I waited for AN HOUR for the taxi to come get me. Even more thrilling was the $30 fare. Why the heck are cabs so expensive?
So it's going to cost about $200 to fix the car. The estimate was closer to $350 but we're going to have to put one of those repairs off. :( Then they gave me a list of other junk wrong that they noticed. It was actually stuff we had noticed ourselves but will have to wait. Sheesh. Cars.
It's supposed to be fixed around noon. After that I'm going to take myself to the doctor because of the searing pain in my right armpit. I woke up this morning with a small clogged milk duct. No big deal, happens all the time. Over the past 4 hours it has grown a ton and hurts like a bitch, through to my back. I looked at it in the mirror. JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS THAT THING!? It's currently about 4 inches around, very hard, and very painful. Fuck.
