Some of you might know I work nights (7-7). Well, after a relatively quiet night at work last night, I was ready to get home (after my 50 mile commute) and get into bed for some much needed sleep.
I left work at 7am, got onto the GS Parkway and went about 2 miles before my car started "wobbling" like crazy and I felt as if I had no steering control. Pulled over without hitting anything, wondering what the heck went wrong.
AAA won't tow off of the parkway, so I drove SLOWLY with blinkers on to the next exit where I pulled into a service station. Called AAA for a tow truck, and had to ride home with the driver who took BACK ROADS to the Turnpike. Stuck in traffic for a bit, get to my mechanic's shop about 90 minutes later.
Get home at around 11.30, knowing I have to take the mother-in-law to freaking LaGuardia airport at 1.00!!! Anyone in the NY/NJ area knows what a bitch it is to get to this airport.
So I slept for an hour, left for the airport at 1pm, dropped her, and got back home at 5.30!!!!!
Just in time for..... WORK AGAIN... Showered, grabbed a bite, and headed in and here I am.
Couple this with last weeks 42 hour stint I pulled, and I am really not getting enough sleep these days... Ok rant over... I feel better.. lol
Cliffs:
Car went berzerk on teh highway on the way home from work
Had to ride home with tow truck driver
got only 1 hour sleep
Had to go to LaGuardia (took 5 hours r/t)
Now back at work on 1 hour sleep
PS The problem with the car was that a bolt snapped in the rear suspension, causing it to disjoin from the frame!!! Scary ******! Caused the whole car to be out of balance... mechanic already fixed it....
Edit: At least I am off for a week after tonight... Vegas baby!
