My day's not going any better. I'm not going into work. I went to pick up Kristen and told her just to come down between classes and I'd wait for her. Well the teacher wouldn't let her take her coat because I hadn't phoned up or sent a note. ARRGGHH!!! So we start off running late by the time she comes down, then back up for her coat, etc. Get to the ortho and am sitting and some guy goes "Anyone own a red Escort?" Ummm. Yeah. Your back tire is flat. ARRGGHGHH!!! After spending nearly $900 the tire is flat? Give me a freaking break. So I phone the place and they say "Oh, you must have ran over a nail after you left here." Yeah right. So he gives me the name of a tow truck because I have no clue how to change a tire and the tow truck driver says 30 min. Well, Kristen is finished and 40 min. later no two truck (which was going to cost me $55). So I see I still have the bicycle pump in my back seat from the last flat tire so I pump it up and cancel the tow truck. Get Kristen to school and make it to the tire place. Seems they HAD done something, they jammed the valve so it was leaking. Either when they tested the pressure or added air they did something to it at the garage. Probably should have taken it back, might have been free but it cost me $25.
By now its 1:00 and it would be closer to 2:00 before I got to work so I figure forget it. I'll check my e-mail from home and they have my phone number. Please please please no more car issues. I'm just so tired of it.
I was just saying to my ex on Saturday that I should join CAA since my car is getting older. Guess this really should be the kick in the butt for me to do it. I want to check as well if it covers me in the US because I have a couple of trips down to Syracuse and Rochester to catch flights in March so it would be nice to know that if something goes wrong on the way I'm covered.
