So last night a friend and I were headed downtown for some dinner and drinks. I was driving. I was in the fast lane as I always am and cannot for the life of me understand why some people stay in that lane when they have no business. I could complain about this on a daily basis but last night really tweaked me. This out of stater was in front of me first and he/she moved into the middle lane and I moved on down the road when they went all the way to the right lane to come clear across back into the fast lane in front of me and then slow up. Really?? He moves back over to the far right lane to get back off.

I move down the road again. Then I’m behind somebody in an SUV who thought it would be cute to keep slamming on the brakes because they did not want to move into the middle lane. So be it, I moved into the middle lane to go around them. It was an effin girl on the phone. What a freaking moron.

Back into the left lane moving down the road when I end up behind somebody in a Honda I believe, don’t really remember but they were jackasses. They stayed in the left lane, I went into the middle lane to get around them when they keep speeding up to match me so I could not get back into the left lane. WHAT THE EFF?? Why are people such jackasses?? This went on until the interstate ended downtown.

New Year, new problems? Was driving to a friends house and I had cracked the window to let one of my stray hairs fly out and the damned thing would not go back up. WTF right? What exactly else could go wrong? I sure as heck did not want the window left down, it’s effin cold down her if you hadn’t guessed. They are talking snow this Thursday/Friday. So the down low on what is wrong with my vehicle in no particular order. Anybody got a clue how much this could cost? I’ve researched part prices but I can only imagine the mechanic fees for all of this. Now mind you the cars not under warranty anymore.

- Horn replaced/fixed? Horn does not work on steering column but will work off of the remote. I’ve had this replaced via warranty about 3-4 times previously already.
- A/C-Heat motor? Not sure what it is exactly called but have had that replaced under warranty once already too. It’s rattling again. It’s right underneath the glove box.
- Reverse lights don’t work. Have had fused checked – that’s working.
- Speedometer sensor needs replaced.
- Fuel gauge sensor needs replaced.
- Possibly just drivers window motor needs replaced? I’ve been very careful about opening this because I really don’t want to get it stuck and seems to be working okay now as I will test to see if it works with baby steps and then halfway down to let myself in and out of the garage using my key card. This actually makes me wonder if the other window and sunroof will get stuck sometimes now or if they are on different motors.

I figure that’s way more wrong than I want but the suckers almost paid for and I love this car lol I just have bad luck. There is nothing wrong with the body.

I have to clock in and out each and everyday I work. Should I be out, I have to turn in my leave slips whether it is for sick leave, administrative leave, or vacation time. Now ever since October I have been taking anywhere from 1-3 days off a week to use up the excess vacation time I have racked up during the year since I’m not known for taking vacation days since #1 I have no where to go and #2 no money to go anywhere. Well, I should not have been surprised when I was checking the amount of my paycheck this week when it was shorted a days pay. Yep, the person who does the payroll conveniently “misplaced” my leave slip. My opinion? She trashed it. This isn’t the first time it has happened either. Now what ticks me off the most is the fact that she didn’t bother to call to see why I didn’t have my full hours. I mean really, what sort of person in this time of financial crisis honestly thinks I’m not going to need my entire paycheck? You can bet your ass she has her full paycheck as well as all her faction.

It just confounds me. When I worked on the floor and did the payroll up there and if anybody was short some hours I always, ALWAYS called them to find out what happened because I KNOW what its like not to get your full paycheck especially when you depend on it.

I mean its around effin Christmas. What the hail am I supposed to do about buying gifts AND trying to pay my bills since I’m still down a job.

You know it seems, to me anyways, that when hurricane season ends at the end of November, we end up getting more tornado watches than during the hurricane season in December. Could be due to the warm weather I guess. We are supposed to get to 75 degrees today, probably hotter knowing this place which is fine with me but I wish all the leaves were not wet so I could bag them up and get them out of my backyard, side yard, front yard *sigh*

Anybody want to clean my yard for me?

I have proof really. These are my pants after walking into work today. So much for fixing the storm drains so it would not flood after building an effin brand new building in one of the more notorious flood sections. I was lucky enough to get into the garage without my car stalling from the water on the roads. I took the picture myself so I wasn’t able to bend over enough to get my feet in the shot. Why would you want to see my feet you ask? Good question. This is why.

Yep, my shoes and socks aren’t on me. I have them set up on the trashcan with one of our heater/fans blowing air on them while I can only hope will dry out somewhat before I have to leave this place this afternoon. When I took my shoes off I had water standing in them and when I turned them over in the trash can water came pouring out of them. Almost as much water came out from my socks when I wringed them to get as much water off as possible too. As for my pants, well, at least they are not wet on the back side so I can at least sit down but this really is uncomfortable and I am frackin cold.

Every time it rains down here it frackin floods. People know this. We should be allowed to stay home until the water recedes so we don’t have to go through this every single time. And to make it even worse, damn high tide was at 7 AM.

Finally have the fuel pump fixed and gonna get a whole new set of tires tomorrow as well as an alignment so I can speed again. Now I wonder what else will break next. I just have that luck people. Oh, the fuel filter was clogged too which got replaced. At least he didn’t find anything else that was pressing that I need to fix but as stated before, only a matter of time lol I know the timing belt might be next but that won’t happen for a few months if not a year I would think.
