my car!

This week after a 3 hour conversation about my attitude problem with my boss over several beers. Ending with the comment, be careful with my phones. I guess I slam. Then a out of the way pit stop to Pin Up, where the office girls met to console a dumped coworker. On the way home, at the same stop sign that i just recently got a ticket for speeding through, my madza wagon, my new (well 02) car that i still owe at least 9 grand on over heats and stalls.

So i call my emergency contact, my husband. Who buy the way
is fired from that job. He shows up with "What the fuck did you let your car over heat for." Continues with disgruntle comments like "why did you buy such a shitty car"
"you're a stupid bitch" etc. etc. etc. I don't know what to do with this guy. He's driving me crazy, i want out, but its such a pain in the ass to move and split everything up. And its not a shitty car, but the timing belt went out the water pump leaked and they did (are still doing) a bunch stuff to that is going to cost over 1200. I don't have that money, plus the 198 dollars i owe for the ticket. Damn I need to not drive.

Not drive? Last time I checked St. Louis' public transportation system was an old man on a tricycle. You'd need to live in a real city before you could ditch your wheels.

Seriously though, it's tough to find a guy that isn't going to be all high and mighty when you have car problems. It's manly stuff. Men feel they have a civic duty to be all bold about cars and whatnot. You can't blame them for being themselves. It's kind of like farting, you just have to learn to live with it.

Don't make excuses for mankind. They have issues. He apologized. The car is not fixed (now its the engine) but the marriage is back the bumps and hills of any awesome roller coaster.

yes need to leave town, there is no more obvious statement than that.
i'm working on it, the gods are not helping.
