Well, it's official:
Yesterday was the worst day of the year so far. At least for me it was..
My roommate hasn't contacted me in over two weeks now about the apartment and moving in. Last I heard from her, she got "laid off" and she wasn't sure if she could afford moving in with me this soon. Despite my leaving her tons and TONS of messages on her voicemail and email, she still hasn't given me word that she can or cannot move in. Thus leaving me hanging because I'm supposed to move into my apartment on FRIDAY and I cannot afford to live in that place on my own. This means that over the summer I'm going to be living on campus again until I can find a suitable roommate who isn't so flakey.
9-Iron broke down on NW 12th St at NW 111th Ave yesterday at 2:22pm right across from the DOlphin Mall where my Borders is. Since I wasn't in the parking lot, nor was I able to get my car off the road given the giant barrier to keep people from driving into the deep retention pond, I had to sit on the side of the road (which was cooler than sitting inside my car) for 1½ hours waiting for the tow truck. Funny thing is that he actually arrived on the intersection an hour after I called, which was great response time, but for some reason the moron didn't stay on 12th Ave. and turned south on 111th and got lost in the Department of Transportation complex. After about a half an hour of speaking to a Hispanic guy in Portuguese because I was fed up with people in Miami not knowing how to speak ANY English, he finally was able to find me.
So now I'm in Aventura alone with nothing to do since I obviously cannot go to work. I'm hoping that my car gets out of the shop by Friday, because that's the day I have off to move back to my side of town. Even if they need a part or something, they can get it here because there are tons of VW dealerships in Miami and Ft Lauderdale (which is closer to me than Miami is, believe it or not). There shouldn't be a problem.
Someone please tell me about their life and how it's better than mine, because currently I'm out of my share of happiness for the week.
