grrr........
i am not a happy bunny...........
i wanted to beat my car until it was in little pieces....
last week i go change the battery cuz my car wont start.... yippie!!!
everything is cool for a few days... wednesday i didnt drive it at all tho.
thursday come around and low and behold my car wont start, my wonderful (and lazy) room mate chris says that he isnt going to work and that i can take his car. i take it to work and when i come home on my break i try and jump my car... hey what do you know it starts!!! i call kennesaw auto and they say sure we can have it ready this evening. i was ecstatic! i take it up there and chris drives me back to work so that he can go shopping. the car place calls me while i am at work to tell me that the alternator on my car is not the standard alternator and that no one in the local area has one. he also said that he found one but he wouldnt be able to get it that night cuz it would have to be shipped ups but he could have it by 12:30 friday. oh yeah and it also was gonna cost $307.37 to fix. i told him to go ahead and do it, i have to have a car and that i just needed it by 3 on friday so that i could go to my friends b-day party in gatlinburg. after that things started looking up. i got to see my kitty, we went and saw oceans 12... she even spent the night so she could take me to work at 6:30am!
today was not fun to say the least. we got up at dark 30 so i could go to work... it was freakin cold! i took a shower and the water was also freakin cold. after shivering thru that i cralled back into my nice heated waterbed to get warm.. about the time i was starting to get warm i had to get up again to get dressed and go to work. got to work, everything was hunky-dorrie. my boss comes in at 9 and tells me the one of our cashiers is going to be out... that sucks cuz we normally dont have enough help, much less can we spare anyone. 10:15 rolls around and the cashier that was supposed to be there at 10 calls and says he is at the doctor and that he is running late... no shit! he say that he will be no more than and hour. we said ok fine.... come 11:30 he calls back and says that he is still running late... man this guy is bright... my boss tells him that he needs to stop doing this crap and just not come in if he is gonna have an appointment. apparently he has done this several times in the past. so now we are out 2 cashiers when need all the help we can get.... but we survived... it sucked hardcore... but we survived. after work rachel came back to pick me up and take me to get my car... man she rocks. i got my car and again everything was lookin good. i get home, get stuff to together, run back by work, get gas and head south.... you may be asking yourself... if he is going to gatlinburg, tn, why is he going south?... cuz im a dumbass thats why... i get to chastain and turn around and everything is cool again. drivin down the road... hmm... my battery light is on...maybe they just didnt flip a switch when they fixed it, no worries..... hey my cd player keeps turning on and off..... this isnt good... man my lights are dim... i should turn around. i call my mom and she gets me the number for kennesaw auto... i call him and he doesnt know what the problem is but i definatly shouldnt be driving it.. he says that he is leaving in like 20 min and he wont be back all weekend but i can drop the car off and he will check it out first thing monday morning... at this point i am talking to people on the phone while sitting in at a truck stop mcdonalds just past cartersville. i get off the phone and look up and i see sam moppin the floor. i stop and say hi to her and kayla. i get a free mc chicken sandwich and i head back for home. driving home i cant see very well, my lights are very dim... i can hardly tell how fast i am going so i stay in the right lane the whole time... some guy flashed his lights at me cuz i guess he thought mine werent on... i wanted to punch him in the face... i finally get back to kennesaw auto and the guy was there waiting for me. wanted to make sure that i got there ok... this was very nice of him... but i still wasnt happy. he said that he would be up tommorrow to chop some wood and that he would stop by and try and fix whatever is wrong with my car....again very nice of him... i know it was not his fault that my car hates me so i let him off the hook. my mom came and picked me up and told me that i coudl take her car... at this point it is 7.... gatlinburg is 4hrs away at least. as i said when this story started i was up before the roosters were crowing. i decided that it would not be very smart to head up to gatlinburg in an unfamilliar car, at 7'o clock at night, after an exausting day at work. makin the calls thher me quite a bit tho cuz i promised her that i could be there.... oh well.. ive been saying it forever... karma hates me... im not sure what i ever did to it but it definatly has something out for me. now i am home...
moral of this story:
if at first you dont succeed, try again. if that doesnt work, kick it. if for some reason that doesnt work, say fuck it and go home and have a drink.
