My day in an egg roll.

I couldn't wait to eat and decided to go beyond the Trap and eat the prison food. All of a sudden the power goes out, [but I tried not to worry because there were a bunch of burly CO's surrounding me]. I go up to the records room to find I can't get any work done so I head back to HQ in the pouring rain...

I'm ready to park my car when all of a sudden my oil light starts to flash, so I parked, turned the engine off. Took a heeping deep breath and grabbed my vehicle manual to find out what the hell that meant but was too nervous to find the answer so I called VW who tells me that I have to tow my car to VW, but before I call Triple A to have my toy towed, to check my oil to see what's goin on.

I check the oil, and I'm pretty sure there hardly is any, but ask for help to verify and the person helping says, "Oh my god, I think it's bone dry." [I wanted to grab the oil stick and hit her with it]

So boyfriend, whom I had to beg to come out and bring me 2 quarts of oil, came out and filled my car. Turned the car on, test drove it, called VW who strongly urged me to take my car to a "Jiffy Lube."

[I got yelled at by VW for not taking my car in for an oil change. I was, um, 2000 miles overdue]

Took the car to Jiffy Lube, they lube it, top off all my fluids, when the nice young man named Huang strongly urged me to have my rear tires checked for leakage.

"When last time you check tire? Never?"

All the men laugh. I give them the "I'll kill you all, evil eye." That scowl I seem to have permantly plastered on my face.

"I checked it last Saturday."

"WHOA. Cause I check tire and both got bad tire pressure. I keep add air and still no good pressure."

Mr. Huang [who looks 16] lectures me and I was very appreciative of this because I KNEW I should have changed my tires a long, long,[very long] time ago, but did not want to spend the money. Shame on me. SHAME.

I hit Huang with a 5 spot.

"Thanks, I'm gonna go tonight to have 'em checked out."

"Thank you miss. Have nice day."

I head to NTB, ask the clerk [who I realize just jacked me for 44.00 that he added to my bill], to please check my tires for leakage.

They checked it.

I've been driving around with nails in my tires.

There went $200.00. [a good cause]

But you know what? I'm alright with it. I am still iffy about driving my car around. I dont know if I damaged my engine or not.

Sigh. Such a big investment. I need to get my act together.

I think it's suffice to say that I've had a bad day.
