Ok, last entry? You all got the point that I'm really stressed right? Well after working all day at Cold Stone and dealing with my crazy mother I send the other girl working home and I finish up stuff, set the alarm, walk out the door and lock it. There's some chick fighting with her boyfriend in the parking lot and yelling at him, which I think is funny. There's this bar right by Cold Stone so it's always interesting around 10:30-11pm. So I hope in my car.
It doesnt fucking start.
I know I was low on gas, so I go to call my dad.
My phone is dead.
Just my luck. The worst day, just got worse. So I hop out and walk my ass to the gas station, wait in line and beg the clerk to let me barrow a gas container thing and promise to bring it back. He's the only one working, so get this.
He GIVES ME THE KEYS TO HIS CAR!!!
And just tells me there's an Altama around the corner with a gas container in the truck. I just kinda stare at him in amazment as I hold his keys in my hand. He then says, go on, go a head! So I find his car and the gas container in the back. Bring him his keys back and promise him I'll bring the container back.
Fill the thing with gas. Walk back to my car. Oh yeah. it's effing freezing out by the way. Put the gas in my car.
It doesnt start.
Well fuck me, says I.
I go BACK into Cold Stone, turn the alarm off, lock the doors and call my parents. Tell them what happened and of course my mother is freaking out and I'm practically in tears because it's been the WORST EFFING DAY EVER! and she's trying to tell me what all could be wrong with the car.
I politely explain that I dont care what's wrong with the car I just want to go home. So I get off the phone with her and call Ryan, who's out with Eric, which is good because Ryan almost died in an accident and doesnt have a car. So Ryan and Eric come to rescue me. My boss is picking me up in a few minutes to go to work today.
So they think that maybe it wasnt enough gas because it's so cold out. So we go back to the gas station get more gas and Eric puts it in the car.
It doesnt start.
I've given up at this point. I tell them we need to go back to Giant Eagle gas station so I can give the nicest gas station man ever his gas thingy back. We drive over and it's closed, but his car is still there. So, I can see him in the back and I knock on the window and he smiles and just tells me to leave it outside. I say thank you and he waves and smiles.
So then Eric, Ryan and I all go back to my place and watch some Cartoon Network. And I finally get to bed around 1 or 2.
So that was my day yesterday. I figure, it cant get worse, unless I cant find a ride to my other job today. That could be bad. But I guess we'll just have to see. I'm trying to deal with one thing at a time here.
So I guess wish me luck!
I hope everyone else is doing well.
