After I spent two hours sitting at Firestone.
See, I worked on the Cape these last two days. When I went to leave on Saturday, after canceling my plans, since we weren't going to the play we were supposed to go to , and it was just getting too difficult for my sick mind to deal with, I heard a weird sound. it got worse as I pulled out onto the main road. I thought it might be my door, so I opened it to reclose, and heard a loud scraping noise, along with feeling the car steering funny. I get into a Mobil, pull over, get out, and see my tires sitting on the ground, off the rim. I'd been pretty much driving on the rim. Not entirely but enough. Call AAA, get a guy to change the tire. he was the first asshole I've dealt with (not counting the asshole who broke into my car to change the tire once, as they were supposed to call me, and didn't then told me I was "lucky" they'd done the work. Filed a complaint with AAA, hopefully they lost their accreditation) So no coffee for the mean guy, but also no answer on what was up with the tire. Drive home, CAREFULLY on the teeny boot tire. Drop into the supermarket, and TJMAxx (BAD BAD girl! but this bad girl has new skirts!) Have to drive to MR to make a pickup.

So I went in today, and they wer NOT busy. Whatever was wrong with the tire they fixed. I also had them do an alignment and a balance and rotate the tires. MUCH happier car! I'm concerned about what the hell went wrong with the tire. Their answer is "we fixed it" without telling me what "it" was. *shrug* Probably picked up a nail and it just had had enough.

Other than that, things are uneventful. My boss had her grandkid to work and I've NEVER met a bitchier child. She puts some of my most FAVORITE hated drama ManRay hair wearin' freaks to SHAME with her tantrums. And, due to this, we got about an HOURS worth of work done. I mean WTF? I don't want to hear her bitch at me for things not getting done. But, this weekend I start the big corporate client, and continue work on the big personal client, and I'm going with her to a client in two weeks, which will be a nice change, if I can rearrange my schedule with my usual Tuesday clients. (mental note - maybe arrange to meet north shore peeps for dinner once I confirm I can go) I almost feel - better. I KNOW what this is like, I'm starting to feel grounded. I'm slowly backing out of my hell client, since if I continue to be available they'll never ask the new manager to take over. And she HAS to, I don't want to be there that often on March, and not more than twice a month after the Season. But this "work feeling" I understand. Odd - how I feel more grounded right now. By April, I'm sure to be a basket case.

Ok, must try to sleep soon. I'm going to read and watch TV for a while, get away from this thing. Can't wait to project my billings later on this week, as well as start getting some tax work done for some of my clients. Need to get it done NOW, instead of waiting. I'd also like to feel less sick, still coughing, and maybe be able to breathe (there's a small kitten still sitting on my chest, in the mornings, it's a lion)

I'm still trying to get my thoughts out re: a certain plan. It's slow, and becoming a HUGE entry. I'm actually thinking about just emailing it to related parties, IF I ever freaking finish (maybe tomorrow, depending on when I get home from work)

Ok almost forgot to post the funny thing. Oh wait - it's something I'd better not post *laughs* Let's just say I just caught my sister's BF ina BALDFACED OUTRIGHT lie. And I'm going to lay it on him tomorrow. And make my sister look stupid. She should look to her OWN life, before trying to eff with mine. Word.
