i haven't been at work much this week, thus the lack of posting.
hopefully this fixes my car. i think it is going to be expensive though :/ we'll see by the end of the day, hopefully. i might even have it back before the weekend, who knows. already, i have spent more than i wanted to on it, lol, just replacing the battery. i would much rather pay nothing, and just have it work ;)
it did make for a rather funny scene. i enlisted tripats help to try and get it started. so, he pushed in the back, and i pushed with the door open, and i would jump in and try to pop the clutch. so, we do this all the way down the street, with him pausing, and it not working, so he has to race down to help again. at one point this other car came, and we were just like bwaaaahhhh!!!!!! and had to push the car to the side of the road. the old dude was laughing at us. it had to be pretty funny. unfortunately, it didn't work, and all we succeeded in doing was getting my car to the bottom of the hill one street over. but still, the hilarity.
of course, this makes for a rather slim paycheck, what with taking time off for vegas, and now missing 2 days because my car died at various places. i don't think i get pto, but i'm going to put it down and say, if i have any, use it all up to pay me!!!! maybe they will feel sorry for me and be like, ok, i guess we will give you pto. thats the hope anyways. otherwise, this car fixin isn't getting paid off for a while, and all hopes of a new computer anytime soon are dashed. right now they are hanging by a thread, and just about to drop anyways. we will see how much the car fixing costs :/
crap nevermind, the thread just dropped. insurance payment coming up... (sigh)
in any event, it has been a slightly annoying week, but not as bad as i thought it was going to be. i missed some work, which can never REALLY be thought of as a bad thing. i mean, we all know how much i absolutely love work....
whats on tap for this weekend you say? i really don't know. i imagine i'll get drunk tonight and go see a movie with matt and b and such. there are so many damn movies out, or coming out that i want to see. it is getting kind of annoying, because i don't have the time or movie to see basically any of them. also, i don't really rent videos or dvds anymore, so i still haven't seen the whole batch of movies that have come out in the past year that i missed and told myself i was going to see when they came to dvd. so much entertainment, so little time.
as for the rest of the weekend? who knows. they are all way too short anyways. i'm just going to end up at work on monday. i used to make a big deal of weekends. now its just, blah. even when i have 3 day weekends, or take 2 days off in the middle of the week, its just like, meh. the weekend flys by, and monday and tuesday just kill me. by the end of monday, i have completely forgotten about the fact that i just had a weekend, and it already feels like the next one should be on us. this makes tuesday the worst day of the week. by wednesday, you have given in to the fact that weekend will never come. thursday is the day before friday, and friday, well, is friday. when you think about it, its only 5 days. but god damn, these 5 days take forever...
i always bitch to myself about how work is a waste of a perfectly good life. i mean, i'm stiving towards nothing, just going for the sake of going, to get my paycheck, just to live for the sake of living. but really, what else would i be doing? sure it would be great to win the lottery and sit on my ass all day, but that isn't going to happen.
ok, i'm losing my train of thought.... GOOD GOD. my coworkers are the most cold-blooded individuals on the face of the earth. one of them has the heater cranked to like 85, i swear. it is soooo damn hot in here. i have this wave of heat just blowing up from the vent directly into my face, it seems. there is no getting around it. its an old house, so i can't close the vent. bwaaaahhhhh....
