Talk About a Bad Day

This day went from very bad to miserable when I pulled in the driveway, put the HHR in park, turned off the key and found it wouldn't go past the accessory stop to off. Fortunately we now have cellphones! I called the service department at my dealer. He told me to unplug that wire under the steering wheel and the key would come out. Oh no, not on a day like today! I had already hung up so I called him back. His only answer was to bring it in tomorrow.

I had computer problems at work all day. They make us store all our documents on network servers then half the time we can't access them. When I left work, I found my left front tire was low and probably has a slow leak. Stopped to fill it up and had no problems with the keys. Of course, when I gave up trying to get the keys out and came in the house (I hide an extra key in the garage), my internet was acting up again. The cable company can't find anything wrong with it either.

Tomorrow morning I'm going thank God I survived this day. It's still questionable right now!

electro-misery

...it strikes in packs...I am surprised your cell phone worked, and your computer still allowed you to post your bad luck.

tomorrow may be a new day...but the residuals will still be felt.

good luck.

Now just tell me how to get rid of this headache.

Need a good laugh? Cox cable's answer to my modem problem was that I had too many firewalls activated? And here I thought you could never have too much protection!

As "Hills" said...you survived the hump. It's Wednesday and tomorrow starts a downhill trend.

Hell, I've been lucky and been able to retire 8 years ago. I still have some days like you described.
