what a shitty fucking day. i ate too much snack food/real food while everyone was over yesterday so i had an upset stomach all last night and didn't sleep to well. this morning i get out to my car..and it won't crank. engine turns fine, just no ignition. so julie and i go in the honda and i try and figure out what it is while i'm trying to work. talking to pop a bit in email we determine it's not the battery (as the engine turns fine), prolly not the alternator as that only charges the battery once it's running..so we think it's the fuel pump. or something in that area/region. being as i love my car just a little too much, i wind up taking off work at 1 to try and get it fixed today. i did some testing on it myself but didn't really get anywhere. by the time the fucking tow truck monkey got here and got it to the shop it was 4. and it was ONLY AT THIS POINT that they tell me me that the guy that does this type of work leaves at 5pm...when i had asked them several times about getting it done today, staying with the car as julie was still at work etc. GRAH! so i talk to my pop on the cell phone for a bit, and walk across the street to a wal-mart/plaza and shop around for 2 or so hours till julie can come pick me up. they say they will start looking at the car in the morning and call me to tell me what they find. hopefully they can have it fixed by lunch time or so, so julie and i can pick it up then and she can go on to class tomorrow night. ugh, godamnit it just really pisses me off that i wasted most of my whole fucking day, and asked a lot of my boss to let me go early for nothing. oh, and working this saturday is mandatory. leading up to a real good b-day week here.
