...So it all started yesterday (Wednesday). I get out of work early (around noonish) and decide to get some lunch and wash my car... I head do the strip close to my place, and grab some food from McDonalds. (I know, yuck... I was getting shaky.) From there I head to the next block to the newer car wash. Wait 20 min in line for the 2 cars in front of me to go through. FINALLY my turn, and there is a line behind me... I get in, get my wash on and then its time to dry... I already have a pounding headache from being hungry. The dryer turns on, and its the kind that you have to dry through. I start to roll through slowly (to get the most dry for my buck...) I get 1/4 way through, and the doors start closing in on me... I slam the car in reverse, and gun it back in to the bay... so now I am trapped in the bay...
The people in the bay behind me get out of line and make it so I can back out of the bay... I start to roll back, and then the front doors close... I am trapped... On top of it all the car wash turns on... I am getting the person's car wash that is behind me... so I wait for it to finish, gun it out of the wash so my max doesnt get eaten by the evil doors, and park... I run over to the person behind me and told him that I want to pay for his wash. He declines and says "Don't worry about it, It's not your fault." He was on the phone with the owner of the wash and was getting his money back. So we chat for a few min (all while i cannot see straight because now i have a full migraine) and head for home...
I get home, go to my room... and lay in bed... head starts to feel a little better... Figured that my day is going to get back to normal...
This morning (Thursday) i wake up to the pilot light being out, and not having heat. Light the pilot, and get ready for work... doing this and that, now I am late for work... whatever.... I start my car with the remote starter, let it run for 10 min to warm up, and head out to it... Press the unlock button, car beeps twice, and i try to open the door... nothing.. FROZEN SHUT... no biggie, I open the door carefully and get in. close the door, and it opens on its own... try again, and again it opens... The latch is stuck open.
I break out the heat gun and warm it up (figured there was some water that froze in there) and finally got the door to work. I get in the car, then get a phone call that there is an accident at the end of my road, and take the back roads to work...
Whatever, so I go towards the back roads. I am rolling down the hill by my house (speed limit 30, I am doingd 20-25). I get within 100 feet of the end of the road, and then all of a sudden, i see flashing lights and then they are in front of me... A cop going to the accident takes the turn too fast, cannot stay in his lane, and is driving head on with me... I swerve off the road and he keeps going... Right then and there, I wanted to turn around and go home, and back to bed...
So I called work and told them that I will get there when i get there... My boss said thats cool... I putzed along to work, getting there 25 minutes late... its still all good, because I still beat my boss to the office... thats where I am now... At work just sitting here, trying not to move... with my luck, this laptop i am typing on is going to burst into flames.
BAH, i want this to be over....
