The last few weeks have been a real pain in the ass. So the 4th or the 5th I got a flat tire driving home from work, not in the best part of the town to get one but it didn't really bother me. Got out in the dark and cold to try and change it. Come to find out that the place I bought my full size spare from sold me the wrong size. Luckily since I have had issues before I kept my spare tire that came with my car in the first place. Changed it out using my air compressor as a flash light then finally made it home. Went and got the tire patched at my neighbors shop, no problems there. Went to the place I bought the rim from and had them order me a new one at no charge to me. Took a week for the damn thing to come in. So last Saturday I went back to have them try the rim on before I would take it. Come to find out it STILL doesn't fit so they have to order yet another one and they are trying to say that it'll cost more money. To which I replied that since this is their third attempt they better not plan on billing me for the extra. So I have my small spare still in my car, the first tire is patched and I'm waiting on the rim and tire I paid for to come back in so I can make sure they didn't fuck up AGAIN. That's the issue with my tire.

I have a worker I had to put on report last week cause he was saying he wasn't going to work the rest of the day (said that at like 10:30AM and he was scheduled to work until 1PM) Having the issues with my car I wasn't planning on taking any bull shit from him so I went right over the person above me (cause he's a useless lead person anyways and is to afraid to do anything about this person) and to the department manager. Who just happened to be the workers cousin. I put the guy on report and since then he's been very immature towards me and I just really don't give a shit, I ignore him and go about my job as usual. This guy thinks he's bugging me by making sounds as I walk past, talking about me in his native language. I shrug it off cause I know he's much easier to replace then I am and I've already warned that if something isn't done about him then I will be going to HR about how he is creating a hostile working environment (considering he's the one that tried to hit me with a forklift and I got written up for it)

Work has cut everyone back down to 40 hours a week, it sucks cause I've been doing so good at my bills and putting money aside in hopes of actually taking a real vacation for the first time in years. Now I have to see if I can keep saving money or if I'll need it for paying bills.

Oh and yesterday my car screwed up again. Cause it got so cold the batter shit the bed and wouldn't do anything to turn over. Ended up having to get my neighbor to give me a ride into work and that sucked. After work I had to walk to the bus top, not a fun thing to do in New England in the winter time. Took the bus to a local parts store and bought a battery. Nothing like getting odd looks for carrying a battery home on the bus. But the good news is I got it installed and working again last night. Busted up my knuckles cause of the rust and shit around the battery, again doing almost anything outside this time of year really sucks working on cars included.

Well I suppose that's all I've got for now, just another scattered update about things going on around me.
