Sigh. Car drama continues. The jackass that was supposed to help me tow the car to the storage garage never contacted me, so I emailed him about 20 minutes ago (yes, 10:40pm the night before it was all supposed to happen).
Turns out his brilliant plan was for me to drive it as close as the battery would take me, then when the car died (ruining the $230 battery I JUST PAID FOR) chain it to the back of a pickup and - get this - have me steer and use brakes in the now-dead car while they tugged me the rest of the way.
Illegal (as in "go to jail for a misdemeanor" illegal) as well as VERY unsafe.
"But you wanted to save money, and renting a $50 dolly seemed pointless".
Jackass. Many plans for tomorrow were passed on because I foolishly believed this moron - not just my plans, but my friends Brian and Kaleb (whose garage I'm to be using) ALSO turned down several social events to help with this.
I'm totally over humans. I tolerate b.org because you're pixels on the screen. Perhaps I'll return to some form of pleasant mindset...
No. That's unlikely at this stage.
StuntHusband - if I EVER promise to help you, I will follow through in whatever legal and safe way I can. However, I rarely make promises like that because I am lazy. However, I will not be lame out of laziness, because that would be , well, lame.

Headline which made me furious this morning: Liberal Theories led to the Destruction of the Education System (in the Hebrew version, this one's split into two articles: one about Sa'ar, the other about the Ethiopian kids.
The education system in Israel is in a bad, bad shape. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Skipping (hopefully, by next week I'll have an all-new-all-functioning computer! Fingers crossed) because, according to flea "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 30, 2003 7:37:26 am PDT today is Casper's birthday.
Happy birthday, you big beautiful girl! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year! And lots of wishes for your brother, your mom, and all your family, too.
Oh, and have lovely short Fridays and wonderful weekends, all y'all!
Bon, maybe we can do something next week with my father if you want to meet him, or without, just to break up the pattern.
Happy birthday Casper!
Off to the ER.
Happy Birthday, Casper! It's a fine week in which to be born!
ita, I hope you're getting some relief in the ER. Sorry that you had to go at all.
Happy Birthday, Casper!
I hope the ER is not crowded and is staffed with smart people who listen to what you tell them, ita.
If you've been off for the past 2 weeks of 8:30 meetings, YOU can go to today's. No, really. I may have made it here on time, but I'm taking this one off!
I hope the ER is not crowded and is staffed with smart people who listen to what you tell them, ita.
This.
I can't believe I made it work on time, since I had to deal with an enormous fucking roach in my shower this morning. Traumatic! But I was victorious.
