fire and ice
you know that thing, where when everything in your life seems to be going well and things are good, something bad happens, just to even things out?
I was trying to leave for work this morning and noticed ice crystals on the inside of my windshield. lots of them. and...my defroster made no sound. No air whoosing through the vents, nothing. I scraped, and I tried, I came back inside and googled around to troubleshoot....but the bottom line is that I can't drive when I can't see anything, and it's cold today, so every time I scraped or cleaned, condensation immediately freezes or clouds back up with the cold and no heat to combat it.
I just got a brand new windshield last week, too. So I don't want to smudge it all up or do anything dumb....
so I called out from work, which I don't take lightly. I had a full schedule today with back-to-back clients, and now they'll have to scramble to find staff to fill in, and it's a huge headache whenever that happens. But since I might've died on the drive in, I guess it's justifiable...even though it also means I lose 8 hours pay. In a crappy economy. At Christmas time. Right before a weekend of a couple more snow storms. When I've got places to go and people to see, man! Geeeeeeezzz....
VIP will look at it tomorrow morning...probably financially rape me since I'm a girl.
Okay, I'm done complaining/venting now.
I could actually get a lot done around here today....and let's face it, I didn't really want to go to work anyway.
