We are back on regular hours at work (8-5pm) and the first week is always the hardest. Since it technically allows me to leave later and sleep in an extra five minutes I have to adjust my departure time a little more to allow for heavier traffic. I had a little pants drama this morning..lets just say booo to zippers...so I had to totally bust out the ironing board and trying to salvage a pair of pants. I decided to throw caution to the wind and not stop for gas and my daily fill-my-flat-tire routine. I was making good time and then all of a sudden traffic just stopped. I right past 144th and Dodge (work is 60th in dodge) and I had 20 minutes to get to work. I thought I would try not to have a panic attack but then looked at my temperature gage and noticed my car was slowly overheating...another task I decided to do this morning, fill-the-car-with-coolant routine. I quickly dodged three lanes of traffic and got off at boys town. I had no idea if I would be able to get out but thought it was a better alternative. Long story short...I made my way out and pulled into a gas station to fill up with coolant. This requires a ice scraper (hood does not stay up on its own) and splashing around chemicals.
I took a different route and had to turn off my car a couple times, i think it takes awhile before my coolant refill kicks in for some reason. It turns out the alternate road was not much better and I began cursing whatever happened on dodge to cause this undesired stress. I was only about 5 minutes late to work...which the evil co-worker loves because she gets to point out that she had already done everything and Im just worthless. Then to feel even better, I was reading the local news channel website and I found out what the delay on dodge was...yeah I totally feel awesome now....
