Day from H-E double hockey stick!
worst day of my life, I swear. Ok so this morning I wake up this morning at Pat's around 6:45 am - had to be at mom's by 7:20 in order to get ready for work and be there by 8:30 (it's up by Kings Island). It just so turns out that I get stuck at the end of his driveway because there was a big chunk of ice that Pat couldn't shovel through, and my axle gets caught up on it. I thought it was just be a 15 minute procedure or so, and everything was going to be fine, but no, everything was NOT fine!!! After shoveling, picking at the ice with my bear hands, poking at the ice with the end of the shovel and hitting myself in the face and knees continually with each stroke, and throwing hot water on the ice while spilling it all over my clothes trying to get from the water basin in the basement to the ice underneath my car in the end of the driveway, I decided to call triple A. "M'am, I can't give you an estimated time of arrival" - well shit, what do I do?!?!? So I call my mom, she's not too angry, she just said to meet her at work when I get everything taken care of. So then after waiting a couple hours, I get worried and call back. "Oh it should be another 2 hours or so from now". So I wait and wait and wait and wait and nothing happens. Then all of a sudden my phone makes a weird noise. It's a voice message - turns out "Bob and his crew" had come just 10 minutes before my voice message popped up, and I didn't see/hear them or their one phone call. They didn't knock/ring/try to call again!!! And my freaking car is blocking the road!!!!!!! I think Bob and his crew were on crack. So then I get so mad to the point where I take the shovel, poke at the ice vigorously for about 10 minutes straight, pour 309580 tons of hot water all over the driveway, and get underneath my car in puddles of water and stab at the ice with this icepick I found in Pat's house. Then after I think I've finally been set free, I go to start my car up and the battery's dead. God hates me, I swear. I bet this many unfortunate events has never happened to anyone else in the entire world. I call AAA back up and they say they are really backed up and won't get to it for another couple of hours. I call my mom, she comes and gets me all the way from MAson, Ohio, and we go to work around 2:00 pm while my car is blocking the road. Pat walks home from work an hour later because his car broke down last night (which was why i spent the night at his house in the first place) to find the cops staring at my car deciding what to do. He calls AAA, they say they'll be there in TEN minutes and he convinces the cops to leave without them putting a damper on my finances. Finally SOMETHING worked out!!! I just thought I'd let the world know what a bad day I had so I didn't have to tell the story 09238509834=58.2390580 times! So there ya go, hope your day was better than mine :-(
