trucks & training

well, we still don't have our computer back, so this will be pretty short & sweet as i am at work on my lunch hour. it's very frustrating not to have computer access at home ~ everytime i think "oh, i should go look that up on the internet" i then realize "ahhhh....no computer!!!!!" hopefully we will get it back today or tomorrow...but if it's anything like getting my car out of the shop it will be awhile.
yep...on top of not having a computer at home, i am also driving a rental while my car is being fixed at the dealer. that would be fine normally...except it has been somewhat of a nightmare. we had to take my car in on monday morning because the back driver's side window decided to fall down & not go back up because the regulator or something is broke. in addition to that, we had been meaning to take it in because the drivers side visor was broken (thanks to a faulty design in the first place) & something to do withthe tie rods (which apparently was much worse so they are replacing the whole steering column or something...yeah it looks like i could've died driving the stupid thing)! thank God for broken windows, huh? so, they informed us that it would be ready by the end of the day. ok...no problem! darric took me to work & planned to pick me up to go get the car...except they had called to say that it wasn't ready yet, so they would pay for my rental ~ i had my fingers crossed for a convertible (even though it's been like 65 & rainy this week) -- instead i got...........a dodge dakota extended cab TRUCK!!!!!!! (yeah, i know!!!! you can stop laughing now!!!!!! lol) i don't mind driving it...it's just different!!!! well, i was supposed to return the rental & get the car yesterday before i left to go to my book club, but i didn't want to go over there if it wasn't ready yet, so i had darric call them. of course it wasn't ready!!!!!! so they told us it would be done today (wednesday) by noon & that i could pick it up whenever was convenient for me. great! i'll get my baby back!!!! woohoo!!! yeah...not so much...i just got a message from darric saying that they just called him to tell him that it won't be done today because of the GM strike that's going on. soooooo...i'm stuck driving the truck at least another day...ugh!
hmmm...ok...so this wasn't as short as i thought it was going to be...but i gotta go now so that i can get back to training...fun stuff -- my brain is starting to feel REALLY mushy!!!! (i know...it already was! lol!) have a great day...xxoo!!!!!
