SWing'R Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hopefully today goes better then my yesterday did!My day started off yesterday with me getting battery acid all over mechanging out some extremely corroded batteries in a fire panel. That shit burns.Next my schedule got all screwed up cause my next call that was scheduledfor 3hrs ended up taking 5.5hrs. Didn't get a lunch break cause of this.Traffic sucked getting to my last job cause it was fricken sleeting.Finally finish up work, heading home and I have a damn accident, endup blocking the left-hand turning lane on Westbound Lane avenue at RiversideDrive, at 5:30pm. That was fun, people were so nice to me.So the idiot that I slammed into is a cop, has his whole family in the carand is requiring a police report, so he calls UAPD, who promptly shows upand gives me a $115 ticket for not keeping assured clear distance. Happy Thanksgiving from the UAPD. Anyway, no damage to his fricken suvbut the front of my truck is damaged fairly good. Can't wait to fill out thepaperwork for that shit at work. But wait. There's more! Finally get home just to find out that the furnaceisn't working! It did this the other day and Moose helped me get it goingagain, but the trick we tried then isn't working this time, of course.Well after swearing at the furnace for a few minutes we call Moose again,he calls a friend about it, I talk to the friend and we get it working!Thank god, cause I was 5minutes away from placing a emergency servicecall to Airtron the night before Thanksgiving, that wouldn't have costedmuch would it So anyway, what am I thankful for, like the other thread asked?Well me answer has changed, I'm thankful for two things!1. That yesterday is fucking over!2. For friends like Moose! Thanks bro. I owe you and your buddy and I willhook you both up later!Happy Thanksgiving yall.

JCMathis Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Wow David, I thought you were going to say you lost your job, your house was foreclosed on, your wife left you, you have only eaten one meal this week which was cold and the card board box that you are living in now is not keeping you warm or dry from this weather. Put it in perspective, you have so much to be thankful for compared to others out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Perspective Dave,The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~H.U. WestermayerToday you have heat, food, football, friends, a roof over your head and it's Thanksgiving Day. On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. ~Author Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Some days the gods just have it in for you. Luckily for you they were just teasing. (Could be a lot worse but still sucks.) Better luck in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 So today was great, most of the family just left now it's time to fall asleep on the couch, again I hate crappy days like yesterday, I don't have them very often which is why I needed to vent a little bit about it.

jporter12 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'd almost trade that for my evening. I ended up being so sick feeling that I could eat, ached so bad I couldn't find any way to get comfortable, fever so bad that I was shivering in a HOT bathtub of water, couldn't sleep all night, but fortunately, it was all over by this afternoon, so I could eat dinner!

We know you weren't so bad about no heat, it was David 's whining that you're glad to have over with, more than the heat being back on.
