"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Had a slow leak last week. I got it fixed and left my portable pump home. Turns out, I had another slow leak. discount tires put the lug nuts on so tight I started to strip two getting them off so I had to keep filling it to get anywhere. I made an appt. today to get tires. Turns out, they didn't get the tires so I had them take off the lug nuts so I could get the spare on. Turns out, the spare was flat. So, how's your Monday going?
Forgot to say, I had to take a taxi home from work because I had a flat. Now I'm running on a spare and hopefully getting tires tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Made an appointment at Big O for noon. when I called, I got the wrong one, but it was closer and the guy told me they had the tires I wanted, sure. C'mon in. Sure we can get you out in time to go to work. So I got there. Nope, they could have the tires in a couple hours. Just in time to be late for work. So I left and went to the Big O where I'd made the appt. I got there late so I was ready to cut them some slack if they couldn't get me out in time. They didn't have the tires I'd been told would be waiting. They did have these (tadaa!) for $300 more and could get me out in an hour. Pass. Eh, at least I was near the range and had my Sig .22 in case I got out in time. Now I have to wait until Thursday to get new tires at Discount Tires. Who I don't like. So I put the slow leak tire back on after I left the range and I'll have to keep filling it every few hours until then. Is it still Monday?
No, no longer Monday, but apparently it might as well be. Good luck with finally getting the tires you need.
Mrs. Paco got a mysterious call from the Tailor Funeral Home in Chattanooga, TN. She didn't answer it, and they didn't leave a message; still, kind of ominous. We don't even know anybody in Chattanooga (or, if we did, I guess we don't anymore). And I certainly had no plans to take my business that far away from home.
AMEN!
ReplyDeleteMondays don't mean much to me anymore since I retired, but I share the sentiment.

Well, V, that kind of takes the cake for Monday, I'd imagine. Good luck, amigo!
ReplyDeleteI'd hate see what your Friday the 13th looked like, Veeshir.
ReplyDeleteSo bad I blew off work.

Anyone remember Edward Andrews?

Oh, yeah, he was all over the place in the 1950s and 1960s - television, movies, you name it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteHe was so good in black comedies.
