I just got back from HELL!!!

During lunch today, I went over to the gas station to have my cracked headlight replaced. It took about 15 minutes for them do. I was going to get gas as well since my gas light was on, but it was $2.20/gallon. So, I decide that I would drive up toward White Oak for cheaper gas. I found the place and was just about to take a U-turn when the car started slowing down. I was actually running out of gas. I was able to get into the left turn and then nothing. The car wouldn't even roll, except for a little bit backwards. If this had happened a few years ago I would have freaked out, but I have been through so much with this car that its old news when something happens to me. (I will tell you tomorrow about the time my car almost blew up.)

So, I called AAA and asked them to send someone over with gas. They told me that they would put it as a priority call since I was in the middle of an intersection and I was on my lunch break. The time was 2:15 and they said that someone would be there by 3:30, 4:00 at the latest. Then I called Gwyneth at the office and told her of my troubles. She always understands my stupidity and that's why it sucks that tomorrow is her last day. It was freaking hot in the car, I haven't been sweating for a few days and it felt like a sauna in the car and I couldn't run the airconditioning because it would wear out the battery and I couldn't open the windows becuz there tons of cicadas flying around and I already had the excitement of a cicada in the car for today. So I sat in the boiling hot car with no gas and bugs flying all around. I think that this is what hell will be like. Sweaty and full of bugs.

So I called Liz and told her I was in hell and that I was stupid and she suggested that I call Mike, so I did and he attempted to come and help me, but he couldn't find my car, but it was okay because AAA had just called to say that it would only be another 20 minutes.

People are stupid (besides me and my problems.) I had my hazard lights on, but people still came right into the turn lane and came right up to the back of my car and then started honking even after I waved them around. Don't honk at me I cannot go anywhere get over and stop giving me dirty looks. This went on for over an hour. Finally, the AAA, who had a University of Maryland Facilities shirt on, arrived and filled up the gas and I tried to start the car, but the fucking battery was dead becuz I was running the hazards the whole time. So he gave me a jump start, I gave him the $5 for the gas and I was on my way. I finally got back to the office around 4:00. I took a pointless sweaty 3 hour lunch break.

Sometimes I don't know why I do the things that I do. They are so illogical. Normally I don't care how much gas costs I just get it cuz I need it. I have never run out of gas before. Why today did I decide to drive out of the way to get gas? I will never understand. Am I subconsciously testing my own boundaries?
