After the pair of snow storms here (Stormageddon, and Stormageddon II: The Omen) I was very pleased to have finally gotten my first snow days with this company ever. I dug my car out carefully and completely, ready for work on Friday. So, on Friday, of course, my car wouldn't start. I had to call out, which was bad considering how much work I had to do (and still do), but my choices were limited. After much help from my father, we decided a new battery might help. One battery later, no, that didn't help. Without other options, it was time to get my car towed. Many calls later I had a potential tow in the morning, so I went to sleep at least confident that my car would be on its way soon. Next morning, many hours late, I called the tow company only to find that they had forgotten me and couldn't reschedule till Sunday. Fuckbeans. Many towing companies later, I finally found one that would tow me that day. That finally taken care of, I went to rent a car. All the rental places were closed! Great. Thankfully the online app was still up, so I was able to schedule a rental for Monday morning. So when I woke up, ready to be picked up, the tagline of the damn company, they said they wouldn't be able to pick me up for an hour at best. Given limited choices, I walked my ass to the stupid rental place. I got my car, little more than an engine and CD player with wheels in my mind, and after taking the full insurance option, I went to work. More snow this morning, no big deal, till I was nearly in an accident when I discovered that the car had no ABS or traction control. Brilliant! Now I am almost afraid to leave work in my many dollar a day deathtrap. Thank Christ my car is fixed. I just have to figure out how to get my damn car back before my rental gets me killed.
