Automotive woes
Oh woe is me! (I suppose being married, it is now "Oh woe are we!"). I got to take the day off work today not for something fun...not even for being sick...but to take care of a sick automobile.
Ever tried to drive a car that had its serpentine belt stop working (or break--I'm not sure, just know that it wasn't working, and had to be replaced). There were no working electrical systems in my car, save the starter. I managed to back the car out of a parking lot space and onto a tow truck. That was as much as I dared drive it.
Then, 5.5 hours and many dollar signs later...I have a car that behave exactly like it did yesterday. So I feel like I got nothing for my money...it's not like there's a new car smell, improved performance, or a flashy new paint job. The only thing I get for my money is what I had yesterday--but Fate took away.
Damn you Fate! You owe me this time! (yeah, I know--I owe you for letting me meet anjea...but I think the statute of limitations has run out on that debt. You owe me now!)
