Man, what a couple days. Yesterday was bad in general I had to go get my car emissions tested again since the first time they failed me because they would not accept my $25 in green and $3 in change. Apparently $3 in change is not really money as far as they are concerned. While I was waiting for my turn again (grrrrrr.... It already passed with flying colors a few days ago) my car overheated! YIKES. I shut it off turned the heater on and got it tested and once again it passed with flying colors but it was overheated. I let it cool and raced to the DOT and got my registration and was just a little miffed when first the woman working there was having a long conversation with her boyfriend on the phone while sort of helping me, then charged me $.37 postage for my tags even though I was there to pick them up, was too busy on the phone to care when I complained about the .37 more on principal than anything else, and then what really got me mad was when she handed my tags and registration to my male friend who was with me. SO I bitched about that to the male friend, my name is not androgynous, no man in history has ever had my name and I was the one dealing with her, I stuck my hand out for them and she gave them to him. He didn't quite get why that bothered me but it really did.
So as long as I kept it going fast it seemed to run cool enough but the moment it slowed down it was right back at the damned red line. Thankfully I was giving my friend a ride home and so we could be in the HOV lane. Otherwise I would have had to have it towed.
I dropped my friend off and he took forever getting his crap out of the car, he got a new laptop with a wireless high-speed thing and had to show it off of course and had lighter adaptor and a mouse thing and god knows what else all over the car. I really got mad at him because he knew I was having trouble with my car and he was there wrapping his cords up carefully and putting Velcro ties around each one and I'm stopped in a no-stopping zone trying to let him out as my car is hitting the red line and he is fucking around with stupid cords, couldn't he do that shit once he got into his place? I got really mad at him and he got so miffed at me, told me I was really being a bitch. I tossed his laptop bag at him and started driving. I guess I'll have to make up at some point but I though he was the one being a bitch. He had no business taking my tags from that cunt at the DOT and he could have been more considerate of my car troubles.
Today I spent the day troubleshooting and fixing the car. It is good now but I discovered my serpent belt is in a horrible state and needs to be replaced ASAP. I think I am going to take it in and pay someone else to fix that. I fucked with that belt once and my god, on that car it is a nightmare and a half. So the repair for the overheating problem was cheaper than I expected but the belt was I repair I had not expected so I guess either way this month is spend money on my car month.
Now I don't know if I feel up to going out because fixing a car is exhausting. Especially when the last person who tightened the bolts and screws I was trying to loosen had an air tool or was a man. I'm all silly looking using my feet and legs to turn the ratchet or pliers on a screwdriver or whatever.

But then, maybe I'm just a perv who wants to see you covered in grease and sweat.
I actually got into an argument at a store one time because I was buying something with Pennies. It was like 5 dollars worth of pennies. The lady behind the counter was all bitchy, and said I couldn't use them. I Told her that it was legal tender, and if she wanted to make a big deal about it, i would like to talk to her manager. She backed off right there, and took them.
sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope all else is going well, though.
