I have to be at work at 6am so I go to bed around 8:30...
11pm last night: Wife wakes me up... "They're repossessing the truck! We've gotta get the baby stuff out of it!" Sigh. I knew it was coming. She hadn't paid the truck payment in like 4 months. (Her truck, her deal. I give her the $$, up to her to decide to pay it or not. I hate that truck for purely personal reasons.)
So I tell her she's gonna have to drive my Volvo. The Fiero is at the in-law's, so I tell her to wake up early and drop me off there so I can get the Fiero and take it to work.
12:15am: Still can't get to sleep.
5:15am this morning: WTF? Father-in-law's been driving the Fiero apparently. Stereo is half pulled out, seat's all jacked up, and there's 2 inches of bird crap on the windshield. Grab the hose and quickly get the crap off so I can see. Start it up, and MASSIVE belt squealing. Prolly woke up the whole neighborhood. E-brake's been broken forever, but for some reason the e-brake light's on. Working the brake handle does nothing. Friggin car's beeping telling me the brake's on. Whatever, I've gotta get to work.
5:50am: Get off the freeway and the Check Engine light comes on and the engine sputters. Look at the guage: E!!! This thing had half a tank when I left it at the in-laws!!! Arrrggghhh... No gas station nearby.
Pull into a parking lot a block from work and leave it. Figure I'll call a tow truck after work to come put some gas in it (roadside assistance baby!) Doh! Forgot my cell phone!!! My service is through Sprint and I have to have the phone!
What sucks about this is it's all my own fault. Or my family's. I can't even blame bad luck or gremlins or anything. :|
