Title: what a way to start vacation
Post by JenniferD on Aug 31st, 2007, 6:08am
Alarm goes off at 2 am to wake hubby. I shook him and called him twice...... then fell back to sleep.

Phone rings at 4:40, its his boss. Darryl jumps outta bed realizing how late he is, cussin and yellin and madder than hell cuz he's late.

His truck hasn't been running right lately and he needed to get it checked, so yesterday I'd told him to take my car today. He didn't.

He called at 5:30.  (Insert big truck part here) shot THRU the gas tank  and the drive train or some other big truck part was dragging on the ground.

He's now waiting for hazmat to come clean up the 15 gallons of gas that has spewed from what once was his truck and I am waiting for him to call so I can go pick him up.  Guess we're going to shopping for  a new truck  :-/

oh btw:  good morning everyone.

Sorry to hear it Jen.  I guess life really is what happens when you're making other plans.  Hang tough hon.

Jen - This doesn't sound like vacation to me. It sounds like a regular work day.

"We were up at 2:00 to pack the truck for our trip to the lake to go fishin'. Headed out at 3:30 to get a jump on traffic and weren't gone half an hour when a VW Beetle had the audacity to jump through our gas tank. Now we're looking for a new truck and the Beetle is looking for an undertaker."

Now THAT sounds like vacation.

ok, we're back. Thankfully he didnt get hurt and on our way home there was an old man whose car broke down on the side of the road. We tried to help him, ended up giving him a ride. So we did get to help someone.

Once home, for no apparent reason, ALL the settings on my puter have changed and I can't get it back. This window I'm typing in now is about 2" X 4"!!!!  

Oh, and instead of sitting here relaxing in my jammies, drinking coffee and yappin with y'all, I have to cook breakfast  >:(

edit to add:  sorry.  I'm just fussin.

See? It wasn't a bust. You were put into a situation where you were allowed to show what you're really made of. How cool is that?

If it is the window that is small just click and drag the bottom right corner of the pane out to where you want it.

When I saw the title of this thread, I figured your new 02 tank had fallen over in the night and crushed somebody.  

Sorry to hear about your gutshot truck.

Best,

George

Jen:

Sorry for the "junk", but at least your sense of humor seems to be intact.  Your cluster family loves ya and you got to do a good thing for someone else.

Respectfully yours,

Yikes.

It's always nice for me to read about other people's lives here but you gotta do better than that!  :o

Hope things even out a bit and your sense of humor will help.
