Not fun times

One of my coworkers took a look at the Jeep today. He said it's not the battery or the starter. Unfortunately, to find out what it is, he would have to take it apart. So when I got off work, I gave him a call to see if he thought he could fix it. But he's never worked on a Jeep before and he would have to do some research before working on it.

As frustrating as it is not having a running vehicle, it's even more frustrating not knowing what's wrong with the Jeep or how much it's going to cost me to fix it - not to mention where I'm going to take it to get it fixed and whether or not they're going to rip me off.

At least I know that God will take care of me. Please pray that He shows me what to do and that I'm able to get this taken care of soon.

Free pass on the 2-10

I walked home from work today. That's not such a bad thing in and of itself- it's only a 2 mile walk. The problem is, I drove to work. I worked yesterday from 2:45 pm to 11:15 pm, then today from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. So when I climbed into the Jeep after work today, I was more than ready to go home. The Jeep wasn't. I turned the key and nothing happened. I checked to make sure I hadn't left the lights on - no problem there. But I thought maybe the battery was dead anyway and it wouldn't hurt to try and jump it. So I went back inside to find out if any of my coworkers had jumper cables. A set of jumper cables and a guy to operate them later, there was still no luck. So I walked.

One of my coworkers asked me earlier today if I would switch shifts with her tomorrow. She just started school and somehow her new schedule didn't get into the system at work. So I agreed. I didn't really want to, I was scheduled to work 6 am to 2:30 pm and now I'll be working 12 pm to 8:30 pm (I've really been enjoying the morning shift lately - weird, huh?). But as things turned out, I'm glad I switched. Otherwise it certainly would have brought back some hiking memories when I left my apartment and started walking at 5 am. Well, anyway, hopefully it's something minor. Either way, I need my own car soon. I wish it were as easy to not have a car here as it is in Madrid. Make up your own question of the day.
