what ruined your day?


Recommended Posts

put a new battery in my car today so i could start driving it instead of the truck, but i still can't get it started. the power just dies completely when i turn the key over! like, no clicking, no engine turning over, just *turn key* = all dash lights/radio/dome/everything dies.

looks like i'm gonna have to take it to a mechanic... :X

Check and clean all of your connections really well. Particularly grounds. Something similar happened on my van. A little corrosion on the battery cables was the culprit. And a dying starter.

It sounds like you might have a bad alternator. Usually they're not hard to replace of you know a thing or two about what's under the hood.

I've gotta replace a waterpump and my shock absorbers. But i couldn't do that today because hell, my day was ruined again, by not being able to get off work on time, actually, the assholes on the next shift showed up 3 hours late. And i'm on Salary pay so no overtime for this crap.

But everytime i call my sweetheart, she makes my day better... but i gotta wait another 2 hours to do even that :(

Being so hungover this morning that I HAD to leave work after only an hour of being there (I thought I was going to be sick...Arby's + vodka hangover = :ralph )

Oh, and completely ignoring my alarm and having only 10 minutes to get ready for work...whilst hungover as fuck.

We were supposed to close on our house tomorrow, but our loan officer farked up, and now everything is up in the air. It sucks when you can see your dreams just about to come true, and then all washed down the toilet right before your very eyes. :rant:

...finding out that the appraiser that the real estate company sent out fudged the value of the house we're buying. Now, due to incompetence involving the financing end of things, the new appraiser has determined a much lower value for the house, apparently negating our loan approval. Today was the day we were originally supposed to have closed on the house. This is all after a couple of grand spent on our part on earnest money, inspection, appraisal, and repairs to the house. Everything is totally up in the air at this point, but we still have to be out of our rental house by the end of the month.

What made my day: My lovely wife returned home from work with a great big hug for me. :wub:

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
