(copy from journal - replaced alternator complete)
One Year Warrenties
All I can say is thank gods for one year warrenties. Managed to get Love into work this morning (less then an hour late which is not bad seeing as he works 40 minutes away and starts a half an hour before Rand does!) with thanks to our friend Rand lending us his vehicle, got home, had a chance to shower before Mom and Barry came over. Barry took the alternator out and they went to exchange it. It was covered 100% under the year warrenty.
Thank fucking gods.
I had to run at lunch and grab my friend Rand since his company (the one I used to temp for) closed at noon today, AND is closed Monday AND is closed Tuesday for the 4th. Bitches. (Meanwhile, poor Love ONLY gets off Tuesday itself. Bah. His company is ass about holidays. You work everything - xmas eve, day after thanksgiving - you name it.) Anyway, got back a few minutes before they got back from exchanging the part. Barry put it in for me and everything works again. Er, well, works as in the car turns on and has a functioning alternator again. The car doesn't exactly "work" in the standard meaning of the word.
I thanked Barry with a 12-pack of beer. I had stopped on my way back home - at like 9:15am - at the supermarket down the road. Bought myself some muffins and his beer. I couldn't help but feel quite absurd buying beer (and cheap beer at that; he drinks Bush
) at a NINE in the morning. I even laughed with the lady in front of me. "I swear," I joked. "I'm not a lush!"
Love's borrowing a company car to get home from work today so I don't have to go all the way back down there to get him. Which is good. I'm exhausted. I barely slept last night I was so stressed and angry at the situation, then of course, I've been running around like mad today. Mailed the replacement swap for Full Moon Swaps and got totally screwed on shipping. It was $20 to mail it.
Sadly, had I know it was going to be so much, I would have had to say no. That was way more then I really had to spend, you know?
Alright, as is the trend this week, my head and neck are killing me, so I'm going to relax for a few hours until Love gets home. Just so relieved that it was less then a year. If it would have gone July 14th, I'd have been out $200. Though there's no such thing as good timing when it comes to cars breaking down, this was the best possible timing it could have happened since it was still covered fully.
Out for now.
Note! I still have the new, unused bottle of Coconut Hut's Beach Baby Perfume in the scent Pineapple Buttercream Cupcake for sale ($15 + 2 shipping - less then it'd cost to get it from the site) or even exchange for the same thing in Pineapple Slices. I really need to sell or trade it, so if you know anyone interested, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.
