...Ranting... bad days....
11 years ago
Ok it all started yesterday... on what was suppose to be my payday...
The company I work for got an update on there computers (mainly they got new ones that run faster and doesn't take 20 mins to do anything anymore)
Which was a major improvment, except for the fact that when they upgraded and updated they screwed up everyone that has direct deposit and so everyone that was suppose to have money in their account yesterday... DIDN'T get anything. So now I have to wait til Monday for any of MY HARD-EARNED money...
Then my dad gives me money for gas since I commute to college every week so I use the money he gives me on that... but since my stepmom got a new job she had to change when I get money from them as well. I was suppose to recieve the check on tuesday (Feb. 4)... It never showed. I'm still waiting on the money, with possibly seeing next week.
So I was stuck with no money for my car or for me....
So I had to ask my mother for money (I hate asking ppl for things, when I know I can do it myself... if things work the way they should) so She filled up my car so I at least had gas for my art class I have today (9am-2pm ct).
But due to the stupid cold weather with the sleeting, the roads started to freeze. While I DO know how to drive with ice on the roads, I was driving 20mph on the highway and hit a patch of ice just right. I fish-tailed (skidded) did a complete U-Turn went off road (on to the side; not on-coming traffic) and because I live in the hill country we have rocks and hills everywhere. I ran into one huge rock (driver side front), popped a tire, and jacked up my front bumper. So I had enough air in my slowly deflating tire to get to were I worked (about a mile from where I was) and stop there. Luckly I had a few friends that could help me in the cold (25 degrees outside) to change my tire to the spare... forgetting that I had no money to even buy a new tire.
So it was Josh (one of the guys I work with) and I were trying to change my tire when two people that he had served (yes I work in a resturant business) came to help him and I change my ONE tire (sounds like the end of a bad joke... How many people does it take to change a tire?.... 3 guys and a girl)
So I let my mother know what had happened and she was overly calm about it saying "At least your ok..." and "... I'll come get you when I get there..." (My mom's very caring person and a nurse) so then it was a matter of telling my teacher about what happened... She was a little harder to get a hold of.... but I did get through.
My art teacher has one rule that she said multiple times to the class "Since we only meet for one day a week (fridays) attendance is manditory... So for you to even pass this class you can't miss more that two full days of class otherwise it will be a letter drop every day afterwards. So put bluntly for you, if you miss two days, DROP THIS CLASS..." I had informed her that I knew for sure that one day I was not going to be there due to other plans (Furry Fiesta in Dallas, TX.... can't wait!!!!)
And so thanks to the stupid weather (that I know I can't control) I will Officially miss two days dropping my grade.... I'm sure I could argue with her telling her that Its not my fault the weather screwed me over.
So since the roads and schools are closed, except for my school (which I don't get), the state and city cops were everywhere telling people to stay home and don't go outside or drive due to ice and accidents.
So I'm now stuck at home with no money... no car... no class ( that everyone else is in)... and nothing to do.... and now that I've typed all this I feel a bit better, but I still can't do anything... and ontop of it all I work today from 5-11:15pm... with no way to get there......
My past two days have SUCKED!!!
