Issues

Yesterday was a doozy.

When I left for work I had the hardest time shutting my door. 15 minutes of examining and trying to close the door about a bajillion times gave me nothing but anger. I finally fiddled with the seal on the door and it closed. Unfortunately, I was on the outside of the car. Luckily, it closed when I got back in the car. I'm thinking, I was probably just ice.

Another thing on my mind at the time was that I thought I threw away my bonus check. In fact, I'm pretty sure I did.

This morning it was the same exact thing, my door wouldn't close. I cleaned out all the ice on the door to no avail. I was desperate. I didn't know what to do. I decided the worst thing I could do was drive to the dealer, you know the one, the one that's a half an hour away.

So, I held on as tightly as I could and set off for the long (and very achy) way to the dealer. Come to find out, using my right hand was easier, especially if the curve in the road went to the right. It was a very scary and unpleasant ride. Did a lot of praying (thanks St Christopher!) and got to the dealer safely.

I waited patiently for them to examine my car. Only to expect that I need a new door and it was going to cost me thrice the amount of my bonus that I threw away.

The guy comes out and tells me that there was ice on the bottom of the door. Of course! The only place I forgot to look. He tried to joke so I wouldn't be embarrassed but Buddy, c'mon, this isn't gonna cost me a thing so I could care less that a waiting room full of people know I'm an idiot.

The even day got better once I got into work. I found out that I could get another bonus check.

Word to the wise, don't drive on 495 when your door won't close.
