Don't Stop Make It Pop
Cars are just plain EVIL! Last week the transmission died in my 5 year old Ford Focus. Apparently it happens a lot in those cars, cuz there are entire forums devoted to persuading Ford to recall them and just to bitch about what a crappily made car it is. So after a 20mph motorcade back to my house, I took it to the dealership Saturday because, thank the car lords out there, it's covered under warranty still. Ford is lame and they couldn't look at it til Monday, then they tell me all will be hunky dorky by Thursday, wooo! But it was not to be so; they called me later to say it'll be ready on Friday instead and my battery, that was bought maaaybe a year ago, is dead. That wasn't that big of a deal though, since Thursday I was busy with school and seeing Avatar again. Friday I pick it up and I feel like it drive kinda funny, but chalk it up to me being insane and I just haven't driven it in a week. I let the engine cool overnight and the battery works just fine, thanks for trying to make me buy a battery when I didn't need it, evil Ford mechanics. So while the battery has consistently proven itself to be awesome, the transmission, that thing they were supposed to fix, is acting up again, lurching and being a big pain-in-my-butt when I wanna shift into a higher gear (ie go faster that 30mph). So I call Ford and tell them they suck (but nicer) and now I have to bring it in on Monday, UGH! If they can't fix it within the day, I'm demanding a free rental, cuz this is some BS that is seriously pissing me off. I vow to never buy a Ford again! If I had the money, I'd trade it in right now. In other, less-angry news, schools pretty cool. However some stupid manager at my work is mad at me or something cuz my hours have been cut, but whatever, I'll scrounge up some hours somewhere. Something weird's been going on with my heart lately. It just randomly starts beating really fast and it's gotten to the point where it lasts for longer periods of time and interrupts my sleep. At first I assumed it was just my crappy eating habits, but then I started to think it may be psychological, from stress and those anxiety attacks I seem to get every now and then. I'm not sure what I should do about it as I am lacking in the health insurance department....
