I don't know if I want to scream or cry. Seriously, this day has sucked.
First, I manage to knock the driver's side mirror nearly off my car. My new, haven't-even-had-it-a-week car. Yeah. I've been driving for ten years, and I've never hit anything or done damage to a car...so of course, this is the time to start, right? Argh! I was backing out of the driveway, to head to work. Dad had parked the truck on the gravel next to the driveway, but the back end was sticking out into the driveway. I didn't notice when I got in the car, and I had my head turned the other way as I was backing out. Then I hear a crunch. Ugh. I hit the very end of the truck, or maybe the ginormous antenna that Dad has there. And the mirror was just hanging by the wiring, so I was afraid to drive to work with it like that. I started out, but when I saw how much it was rattling around just at 20mph, I figured it wasn't a good idea to try for highway speed. =P So I took the truck instead.
And, of course, Dad's mad at me. Because obviously he's never done anything stupid, or made a mistake, or broken something by accident before. Grr. I swear, if he gives me any more crap about it, I'm gonna go postal on his ass. After the monumentally stupid shit that he's pulled lately, he has absolutely no fucking right to yell at me over some minor car damage.
After this mess, I was a little late to work. So I have to stay late to make up for it. Lovely. =P Then, maybe an hour after I got to work, it stormed. Like, really loud wind/hail/rain/what-the-hell-ever. And you know how I feel about storms, period. I was not happy.
And, since I had to come in the truck, of course, there was almost no gas in it. I looked at the gage before I left town and thought I could make it to work and back. But by the time I got here, I wasn't so sure. So now I'm thinking I'm going to have to stop for gas on the way home. Which is a little annoying in and of itself, but not that big a deal, right? Well, I won't be leaving until nearly 2am. Yeah. So, for one, I don't fancy standing around that late, by myself, while I get gas. And for another...I'm not even sure if the gas stations around here are open that late. I've never really noticed. So, I'm either going to have to take a chance, or make an extra trip out earlier in the night. Yuck.
And that's not even all. I'm sitting here, running the Import and vegging. Then I look over and see that stupid log file error. So, I call tech support. The connection sucks, and I either get hung up on, or the call dropped. I try again, and finally get someone to talk to me. We go over the info, then he says he'll have a tech call me. A while later, the dude calls, but says that it'll be an hour or more before he can remote in. Yeah. And it's after 8:00 at this point. So who knows when this thing'll get going again. Luckily, I'm going to be here late, anyway, but still.
It's just one thing after another today, I swear. And now I'm fretting because I can't take my car to the dealership to get fixed until Monday, at the earliest. Why the fuck are so many things closed on the weekends? A lot of people get weekends off, therefore, that's when they have time to run errands. Geez. But either way, I guess I'll just have to call them on Monday, and hope I can come down then. I need the mirror fixed, obviously, but I also need the alarm looked at. And I was going to get another key or two, but now I may not. I've heard those programmable keys are expensive, so I don't know if I'll have the money to spare, after everything else. I'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
I swear, it never fails. Just when I feel like I may be done with huge expenses, and like maybe I can finally start putting money back into my savings, or that my finances are otherwise settling down, something like this happens. Now I'm just praying that it doesn't cost that much to fix those things, and that the keys aren't as high as I've heard. The keys can wait if necessary, but at the very least, I need the mirror fixed now. And I'll probably get them to do the alarm, too, while they're at it. It's mostly just annoying, but this way I won't have to come back later. Better to get it all done at once, assuming I can afford it. I don't think the mirror would be that big of a deal, but I have no idea about the alarm. I don't have the faintest idea of how easy or complicated that might be to fix. =/
...I need some tea, damn it. Or chocolate...like, good chocolate. Or hell, maybe both.
