Saturday Driving

The following happened between the hours of 8:00am and 11:00pm:

8:00am - I woke up and did all my morning stuff (wont bore you with the details) I took sable for a walk. When we got back to the apt and I decided to go to work for a few hours.

9:30 Drove to work with Sable in the car, I can sneak her in on Saturdays since there is no one there. The building I work in is a big old historic building so it is scary. I am sure they could film some sort of Ghost Hunter episode there. One of my male co-workers collects clowns and they are all over his cubicle. It really creeps me out. Sable does not seem like the logical choice for possessed toy clown collections or ghost protection... but she is all I got. We get downtown and because my town is a tourist trap in the summer there was no where to park. The Tall Ship are here and people are everywhere. I did not see any trucks with nut sacks so that was a plus.

9:34 - Road rage occurred along with some swearing about where people learned how to parallel park there are lines for a reason. Four parking spots taken up by 1 car and 1 motorcycle is unacceptable.

(rant) does it piss you off when people think their vehicle is so great that they take two spots thinking it will prevent door dings? This makes me want to hit them on purpose, which i would never do, but the though has crossed my mind. I do secretly hope for a random act of nature like a giant hail storm (just on their car) or a meteor. Park way out, in the back of the lot...it achieves the same purpose and you only need one spot because people don't like to walk that far. I mean I get it, some people lack common sense and don't take pride in ownership but this does not mean you need to piss me off before 10:00 in the morning by taking two spots.
9:34 - 12:00 - Boring work stuff and Sable napping on the floor under my desk.

12:20 - 11:00pm - Dust, vacuum, dog out - dog in (repeat). It was hot so I decided to go get a slurpee. I like to treat myself once in a while. When I got to 7-11 it seems everyone had the same idea. the parking lot was full and there where these two cars parked side by side in the drive having a conversation. I waited and stared... and waited, finally I put it in reverse and found a spot. I am sure I shot them a dirty look as i walked by but they did not seem to care. They must have been having a very important conversation to delay my Slurpee goodness. World Peace? Global Warming? The Answer to clean up all the oil in the gulf? I be it was about that Lebron basketball guy. I get inside and the guy in front of me got a Big Gulp... come on... Big Gulp = Moet and Slurpee = Cristal... get with the program Mr.

Somewhere in the adventures of the day my check engine light came on. I noticed it heading home after the Slurpee run. So i figured after all the BS my car has road rage too. So I parked it and let it rest all night. Today I am driving to my parents house, so I am hoping when I go out to start it the check engine light is off. I have not pumped gas lately so i don't think it is the gas cap again unless some one stole it... I will check that before I leave. Hmm... if it is not that I don't know what it could be so I guess I will drive it to my mom and dads and keep my fingers crossed. Wish me luck.
