Saturday

[vanillafluffy]

09:35AM - I wake up.

09:45AM - I call garage. No answer.

09:48AM - I call missybrat, arrange to got to Melbourne to pick up/cash my check.

10:35AM - Mb arrives, we go to Melbourne

11:04AM - I take possession of my check. Call the garage again---no answer---leave message. Discover the branch of my bank closest to work doesn't have Saturday morning hours, unlike the branch closest to my house.

11:28AM - Cash check at Publix. (I wish now I'd picked up a few things while I was in there.)

12:20PM - Hit Woody's BBQ for lunch. Starving. Introduce Mb to their corn nuggets, heh heh. We both have the lunch combo and we both select sausage and spare ribs. Yummy!

01:45PM - Try calling garage again, still no answer.

02:20PM - Zoom up to garage, to discover no one there, no sign my car has moved since being off-loaded from tow truck. (Am pissed.)

02:57PM - Mb delivers me to work. (On the way from Sharpes to Melbourne, I enlighten her on why repeated viewings of the trailer for The Accidental Husband can lead to the overuse of the word "yummy". This includes rhapsodizing about JDM, aka "Sex on Legs". This definitely helps cheer me up.)

03:02PM - I log in. CSR-type shit ensues for the next few hours, blah, blah, blah.

11:31PM - Mb and her SO pick me up and deliver me home.

And that was my Saturday...which is, thank God, my Friday.

I'll hold your car guy down, if you wanna kick 'im.

I'll keep that under advisement. I'd prefer to have him fix the damn car, then pluck the key from him and say, "You owe Mb a half tank of gas, and you owe me an apology. In lieu of an apology, I'll just take my car and go. Good-bye!"

What crappy service that garage has. *kicks them neatly in the nads on your behalf*

Great, you and I can tag-team with jdsgirlbev and work him over! ( ^ See comment above.)

LOL. Just name the time and place (and send me a plane ticket). ;)

Thank goodness for MB! I hope Car Guy gets his ass in gear and gets your car fixed pronto.

Ditto to both! And here's hoping I don't catch too much sh!t at work because of it.

The hell--? If he's supposed to be open on Saturday AND he's supposed to be fixing your car, he'd better have one helluva good explanation for neither one happening!

Yeah, I asked him about that on Friday afternoon, and he said he'd be in around 9...so unless he was donating a kidney, saving kittens from a burning building or abducted by aliens, I'm NOT HAPPY with him. Grrr.

Quality Girlie Time...

There is something good to all of this though.. we got some good quality girlie time. I had my other half come with me at night to pick you up, but you know my reasons behind that. :)

So much for maintaining you anonymity. Well, if it doesn't bother you....

Er, you brought him along for the togetherness factor and/or to give him a demonstration of true friendship vs a paid entourage...?

LOL! No.. I brought him along because of being robbed I don't like going out at night just yet by myself. (Picking up someone is one thing, but if I think that I may have to wait a few minutes in an empty parking lot.. uh-huh!) :)
