I got to where I was supposed to be 45 minutes late, but the worst part is that I had fender bender outside of a tunnel that I wouldn't have been anywhere near had it not been for that fucking GPS.
I deal with that by saying, "Shut up, DirectionsBitch. I'm driving where I want to."

Latest update on the car thing. I had a ride arranged to either work or the dealership today. I called shortly before I was to leave, and they said the car should be ready around 1730. Not good, as I have to be in work at 1600.

Ride came, momwolf's friend was nice enough to even stop off at the convenience store for me so I could grab a soda.

Got to work a bit early, so went in to find chaos erupting all over and the day shift trying to scoot out of there like scalded cats. Went into the nurses station, swiped in, and my phone rang.

Yeah. The car was done and available to be picked up. I actually had up until 2000 to get there.

No such luck. It was so freaking busy I couldn't even take the 15 minutes or so it would have taken to get a ride down, pay, and ride back.

I will have to arrange for a ride to the dealership tomorrow.
