Car-Less ... again...Nightmare on Montgomery...

this car looks exactly like mine

Did I happen to mention that nearly two weeks on a Friday I became car-less again? 

Yes, the day my 19 year old got her license, she took my car on a rendezvous out of town, not realizing that the motor would blow up yet again.  She was in my car the first time, and on that occasion she had run it dry of every fluid known to a keep a car engine running, and blew my motor up. This time, however, the car had fluids, the motor just locked up. 

She was pretty scared, on an interstate miles away from home, when in fact, she had neglected to tell me she was going anywhere. I had assumed she got delayed in getting back home, obviously making excuses to me.  I had no idea she was out of town with my car.  She obviously had other plans to celebrate her getting her driver's license. 

I was looking for cars in the area, when I typed in my car's make and model, and this car (pictured above) came up.  This car was up for sale and the highest offer was 4200.00 bucks, with only 62,000 miles on it. Unbelievable.  I would love to have it, but it was in Chicago! It was already sold by the time I found it.  Worth every penny of it with that low a mileage, and the shape it was in.  Makes ya sick. 

My 19 year old apologized all over herself for not being where she was supposed to be, however in reality, at any time a used motor can and will blow, just glad she was okay and did not get hurt herself or hurt somebody else.  It scared her pretty bad, so now, maybe she will be a little cautious when out and about in a vehicle.

What have I done for a car?  Absolutely without, relying on a ride back and forths to the grocery.  Should I buy another car? No, I looked at car options out there.  I seriously cannot afford payments, a rise in insurance because of having to carry full coverage on a loan, no thanks.   I will throw a thousand bucks in it again and have another motor put in it.  Life of a car is no guarantee, but having a new car is not a necessity.  I love my car.  I don't care if it is a 1997 Olds and has tons of thousands of miles on it.  Its still cheaper than buying a car out there.  Finding a good mechanic to keep it running is the big issue here, one you can trust.  One that cares that precious cargo is being hauled around in it. 

Hope everybody is having a good week.  Me? Mine is busy and stressful as always.  Tomorrow I have to get my taxes done, so I can plan accordingly to pay off my mechanic.  Any donations will be gladly accepted.  Just throw me an email...LOL

Email Etiquette

Open email insert a word, bitchy...

What do you get?

an email reminding you to always please use proper email etiquette.

You never know who is going to read it.

Yes, my bad.

However I was not calling anybody else "bitchy" totally referring to myself over a matter. Was this so bad?!

and I quote..."Please don’t think I am just being bitchy here, but it is not the responsibility of FQA to have to hunt for dates of service because they were uploaded to us without this information. This is not the only account with roster issues (take EVMS OTO for example) and/or TPMG. Holding files for rosters creates the effect of FQA getting slammed with documents, obviously already late getting back to the client before FQA even touches them."

Can I trade this job for what's behind Door #2?

Obviously I am too rude, crude, and unrefined for this management position!

Lordy.

I totally understand

the etiquette

thingy. 

I get it. 

I get it. 

Saturday Night?

remembering when...

shakin' those tailfeathers!

Man goes into a cocktail bar and approaches Maxine, sitting by herself ...

Man: “Can I buy you a cocktail?”

Maxine: “No, thank you, alcohol is bad for my legs.”

Man: “Sorry to hear that.

Do they swell?”

Maxine: “No, they open !!”

there is only one cure...

b-e-d.

i'm too tired to even type.

you would not believe my workweek

60 hours maybe

my relief called in sick today

that biootch...

she didn't sound sick

she's just lazy.

I hate people.

I hate my job.

I hate that two days of beautiful weather has gone by and I haven't even gotten to enjoy it.  Its taking all day and half my evening; by the time I get in bed its 11, and it starts all over again the next nightmare day. 

like this patient's answer when asked on a mental status exam what she would do if she were the first to see smoke and fire in a movie theater, she stated “I’d let it burn. Fuck it.”

that's been my week.

Is there nobody out there who will take me away from this drudgery?

seeyuns.

haha Mondays!

A husband walks into the bedroom holding two aspirin and a glass of water.

His wife asks: "What's that for?"

"It's for your headache," he replies.

"I don't have a headache," she says.

"Gotcha!"


how about another one? 

A guy goes up to this girl in a bar and says: "Would you like to dance?"

The girl says: "I don't like this song, but even if I did, I wouldn't dance with you."

The guy says: "I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood me. I said you look fat in those pants."

now, that's funny!!

Three Ladies in a Sauna.

Three women, 2 younger and 1 senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna.

Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beeping stopped.

The others looked at her questionably. "That was my pager," she said. I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.

A few minutes later, a phone rang, and the second young woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, "that was my mobile phone, I have in my hand."

The older woman felt very low-tech, so not to be outdone, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out the sauna, excused herself, and went to the bathroom.

She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.

The others raised their eyebrows and just started at her.

The older woman finally said..."well, will you look at that...I'm getting a fax!"

hahaha!

bloggers, what is the answer to the age old question,

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Isn't a woodchuck the same thing as a groundhog? Speaking of groundhog, did he see his shadow or not? Is this winter weather ever going to end?

and from the world of transcription bloggers I give you this...

"The patient has a pet granddog named Porky."

...

...wtf? takes a second to register...until you listen closely!

...

...what in the heck is a granddog? a kin to the hotdog?

...hahahaha! totally cracked me up!


when I think of Spring, I hear this Mendelssohn tune.enjoy!

It's that time of year again!

On Valentine's Day, couples pat themselves on the back for being just not-awful enough to convince someone else to spend significant amounts of time or money on them...while the rest of us are supposed to feel bad because we're not part of a couple? 

I say, there are worse things than being single on Monday -- like being in a relationship that sucks, and with someone who feels no choice but to hemorrhage cash on a made-up holiday. Even worse, if truly there is no real love between you. 

Personally, being single is great! Being in a relationship would be wonderful, too, however I don't feel the need to be lavished by some gift because 'I'm supposed to get something?'  If you work in an office full of hormonal women, who are awaiting their "special gift" from their supposed significant other, watch out!  OMFrickinGawd! yeah...and if you didn't get a dozen roses at your desk, well...aren't you just the talk of the office...?  maybe you didn't provide him enough mouth to penis resuscitation the night before your gift was to arrive? hahaha...maybe next year you should arrange to have something delivered that you picked out, and paid for yourself? yeah...maybe that would make you feel significant. Grow up Ladies! Get over it.


Whatever.
