my car

this morning on the way to work i couldn't get my heat to come on. you can imagine the panic that hit me being that winter is quickly arriving. (currently 47 and rainy.) when i arrived i discussed it with the men. i asked bob if he would come downstairs and take a looksie. he is so awesome. on the ground he was, checking out the sitch. there was a delivery man waiting downstairs who also came over to have a look and add his two cents. all the while me standing there cold and clueless. i explained to them how i know when i take my car in i get taken advantage of, but there isn't much i can do about it since i know nothing. to which i was told "you need to find yourself a mechanic boyfriend." this statement quickly followed by, "no, men are pigs, stay away from them." the funny things men say. i think it is great that men are the ones telling me to stay away from men. anyway, the final resort was just hitting the blower wires. this, of all things, made the heat come on.... praise the lord. i already had an appointment for an oil change on monday, so i just came back in the office and made a list with correct terminology in order to relate with the mechanic, called them and changed my time in order to insure the other problems will be checked as well. today i am thankful that i know men who know cars. yes.

i would also like to mention that if you have not already seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... you must do so. excellent.
