I was more insulted than pissed off. It was my riding coach. She had me in tears by the end of my lesson last night :(. She's never said anything like that to me before, so it was a shock, especially after one of the most intense rides I've ever had. Thank you though!Quote:

aw honey I'm so sorry :( That really sucks especially when it's someone you know saying that stuff to you. Could just be that she's having some hard times herself as people are often grouchy and/or mean when they're feeling hurt or angry themselves. I hope she apologizes to you.Quote:

This co worker's daughter committed suicide a little over a week ago (her mother died last year and her husband the year before that) She came back to work so soon because this is her second family. She needed to get back into her routine for her own sanity. I think it's therepeutic for her. She sympathized, and said how much that sucks, but after I was thinking what she's gone through, I shut my mouth and realized...its just a stupid car. Maybe this is inconvenient but it's just a thing. Ever since I saw her today, the car thing is not bothering me so much and I've been able to more or less let my anger go after my initial rant. I feel like such a jerk for complaining about a lost car in front of her. It's very different once you really put things into perspective.
*UPDATE*
They found my car last night! It was abandoned in the middle of a nearby dirty filthy crack city best known for its enormous production and widespread distribution of methanphetamines despite all the major Fed raids on the city. Figures. It sounds like the car's more or less intact (minus some minor damages to the hood and the fender) but I don't believe it was stripped or anything. So now I have to go out to this gross cracked out city in the middle of the desert and pay hundreds for the towing and storage. The city's not too far...only about a 20-30 min drive. But still. I hate it there. I avoid it at all costs. I'll have to pay even more since it has to be left over the weekend. Hopefully insurance will cover that. But the situation could have turned out much worse. And after all, it's only a car. There are worse things to lose.
But I sure am glad I get it back
Stargazer...consider getting a AAA Plus membership...you will spend less than the towing, AAA will arrange everything, even pick a towing service...you'll have a years membership in case you need it again.Quote:

I just hope there's no damage inside. One of the girls at work just explained to me how to hot wire a car so I fear that damage is done :(
Why won't people you love talk and let you help?
argh!!!:flare:
ahhh much better!
People are much more likely to read and comment upon a post if it is high upon the most recent post list. When people post for the sake of driving a post count up, it makes it less likely that other, more worthy posts, will be read.
And this ticks me off.
i know huh?
I hate when you click on a button but the page isn't finish loading yet and as you click the page finishes loading and you end up clicking on something else because the loading makes everything scroll up or something ...GRRRRR
And I hate the "back" browser button. You're typing a message or a blog entry and you hit the back browser button and you lose what you were typing GRRRRRR
and why is FB being slow and crappy today. I simply can't enjoy the day until I do my thing on there...OCD... GRRRRR
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
YES!!!!
SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER!
I HATE F-ING HOMEWORK, LAZY TEACHERS AND TESTS, TESTS, TESTS. LET ME SLEEP LATE DAMN YOU!!!
oooh, i'm glad that's over with.
The New York Times sucks ***. Not so much the actual paper but the distribution aspect. So this is my story: I was visiting a friend in NJ and they get the times. I was reading the sunday paper and commented that I wished we had a good paper where I live and my friends husband told me they can home deliver to just about anywhere. A few weeks later I signed up for home delivery, the website said they could deliver to my address. Whoo hooo!!! After 6 weeks I have received 3 invoices, I've made 5 phone calls, but have yet to receive a newspaper. Today I called and asked to speak to the supervisor, who informed me that they could not deliver to my address. This, he said, was only decided on August 7. After 6 weeks and four other customer service reps told me they could deliver?????? aarrgghhhhhhh!!! ****ERS!!!!!!
