car trouble 04.14.03 4:28 p.m.
Car broke down last night. I was at Denny's and it wouldn't start when I wanted to leave, which was around 1-ish. I dont think I got home till 2 or maybe later. I know I didnt fall asleep till almost 4.... Eric was awesome helping me out. Totally something new to me, a dude who knows cars, and knows what to do and is willing to do it when "emergencies" pop up. Seems it needs a new alternator. Also needed a new battery cuz it wasn't holding a charge for long. Havent gotten the alternator yet, Eric's going to do that tonight hopefully. He's gotta work later cuz he got in so late this morning. I was only 15 minutes late. Tow truck drivers are idiots. The guy assured me the car would start in the morning. He kept suggesting that I'd left the lights on and that's all that was wrong with the car. The other guy didn't speak english and seemed to be a trainee cuz the first dude was showing him how to ground the jumper cable. So the car didn't start this morning. One of Eric's coworkers lives on the floor above us so he came out and jumped us. We get almost to my work and it died. We coasted into a gas station and walked the rest of the way. Eric called his best"friend" Deedee but didnt get a hold of her till almost an hour later. Her husband came out and took Eric to get a battery, etc. She's the one that refuses to meet me cuz I'm a former addict and therefore I have diseases and would steal shit from her. Chances are greater getting sick from unprotected sex than they are from shooting with a used needle... anyway.... Always remember to quit while you're ahead. |
