Just had to vent about this somewhere.
So Im on my way to work today, and I only made it 3 blocks to the light and my car died. I was in the turning lane right in front of a school and had to keep flagging people to go around me. I tried and tried to get it restarted and then the low fuel light came on... It'd start and only stay running for a second and die again.
My Dad gave me this car in December because I have been riding the bus for years. We knew it wasnt a new car by any means but figured it was better than riding the bus with the freaky homeless man that asked for hugs, and the crazy guy that always offered me Vicodin and liked to get off at my stop and follow me home. (i'd go to 7-11 or some other place when he did this)
So I give up trying the car and used some nice ladies cell phone to and call my mom since my cell is turned off for non payment right now and I dont get paid again until next Wednesday. my Mom arrives and her and I and another motorist get my car pushed into a parking spot on the other side of the street.
So here I am with one smoke left, no money in my bank account to get the car fixed, no cell phone, there is a screw in the right front tire and I cant afford to patch it or replace it, and now my trip to Cancun is going to be cancelled because I cant afford to get the car fixed AND buy my ticket.
Im so down right now im ready to loose it.
Seems like as soon as things get going well again, something happens to knock me back down....
And to top it all off my mom is still unemployed and is out of unemployment checks in another week or so.
Somethings got to give..
