Ok, so it's finally friday, and where the hell am I?! STILL STUCK AT WORK! First off, if you read the about me blog, you know, I HATE March! I'd rather crawl into a hole and wait it out, then really have to go through March! And today proves it. It started out a pretty good day, even though we didn't get to work on time because of my sister's husband and daughter. My sister's hubby loves to sleep. 12 hours sleep is not enough for this man! Her daughter is going through the "I want mommy" faze. So Lisa can't even get two feet towards the door without Madison hanging on her screaming and crying. So, we didn't get to work early, therefore, we didn't get to leave early. We went through a pretty boring day, not a lot went on. My boss, who was on a business trip decides to cut it short and come back to the office. No more playing on Pogo and Cherry Tap for me. BUT, my boss is the best boss in the world, and decides, after hearing us girls bitch about gas cost and being almost broke the week before pay day, gave us each a small bonus to help up out!! HEY BOSS!! Ok, the day is still going good...well, great! I got news that my sister and her hubby aren't going to the movies tonight, so they won't be dropping off the wild one to stay the night! YEAH!! and the day ends. It's 5:30PM now. A half hour past closing time (5), and we're leaving. We say good bye to the other girl in the office (it's a very small company) and say good-bye to the boss and jump into my sister car and start to head home. I live in Utica, my sister in Ottawa. We work in Sycamore....for those of you who don't know where that is, it's about an hour north of Ottawa, and about an hour and 20 from Utica. We have a favorite Casey's gas station, in Courtland, that we like to stop at to get munchies and drinks before our long trip home. (Like I said in the about me, I don't mind traveling anymore!) Well, we had to order of treats...me a cheesebuger, her a breaded chicken sandwich. So, at 6:05 we're finally leaving to get back on the road. We get into the car, start it up, and it dies. Start it again, and it dies. With the gas and brake driving method, we manage to get out of the parking lot, only to blow the muffler and the catalitick converter right off. Car dies again, and we're half way in a turn, and there are 2 trucks, 1 mini van (hate them) and 5 cars and a big semi coming right for us. We get it started, gun it around the corner, and limp it down the side of the road, cause alls we can do is 40, 45. The car is now so loud it will make your fillings rattle from about 5 blocks away. What normally takes 12 mins, took us about 30 mins, to get from where we were, back to the office. A total of 7 cops passed us without even a second look, not even to help. On our way back to the office, my sister calls her mother in law, because her husband is (again) over there helping get another on of his father's vehicles running. Her father in law, who has a cell phone, left it at home, and now, under the good grace of the gods and goddess, we're back to waiting on her husband and her father in law to get back to his house and get the message from his wife, my sister's mother in law. and yes Lisa and her get along well. Well...she's on the phone with him for a second time. He had called around 6:45 and told us he was on his way. Come to find out now, he hasn't even left yet. So here I will be, until he comes to get us. And I still have to drive my car from my sister's in Ottawa, all the way to my house in Utica. Maybe while I'm waiting, March will just end. A girl can hope, can't she?!?! Hugs and Kisses....to all my friends. So me some love, so I know things will get better.....Oh, and by the way, my computer (home computer that is) is here at the office, cause it too is having problems. I won't get it back until next week cause I'm waiting for parts. I'll try to check in, but I'll have to try to get my mom and dad off their computer. Who knew sick people could fight over a computer so well. Well anyway....Later and happy freaky friday!
