((Raq))
My DW just called on the cell phone to tell me the van's break light is on. I offered to come out, but then she said I didn't have any good ideas and hung up on me before I could ask if the parking break may be up a little. Apparently she turned off the phone or isn't answering, so I can't tell her the suggestion.
I was coming in to whine about how I'm sitting under a very large umbrella at my desk because the ceiling in my office is leaking (the A/C line or somesuch is apparently VERY old and maint. is trying to fix it).
HOWEVER - Raq, your day sounds absolutely awful and I'm so sorry you're dealing with that much crud. Bravo on not poking a few unhelpful people with sticks, though. {{{{you}}}}
Then she can deal with it herself, Gud. No longer your issue if she wants to be childish and mean.
Which is easier said than done and all that, I know. {{Gud}}
I'm just frustrated and worried because I don't know if it's a real problem or not.
Ugh. What an icky day! {{{Raq}}} {{{Gud}}}

Everyone who needs one can take a Mulligan for today.
Oh, Gud. Oh, dear, dear Gud.
Your DW needs a serious cluesticking, and I live real fucking close.

If it's the emergency/parking brake, you can actually drive for a while with it on. You just have to disengage the thing. And as far as I know, that's the only time the brake light comes on, isn't it?

Modern cars have two separate hydraulic brake systems. If one fails, the brake light should come on. The brakes will still work, but not as well.
eta: The parking brake is a separate, cable-activated brake system that only brakes the rear wheels.
