about a month ago, february 18th to be exact, i took my car to have the a/c fixed. well, owen took it. it was horrible and i yelled at a guy named matt, but ultimately it got done. well, they didn't fix it. i called and asked about a rental car now that owen's working, and since they offered owen one when i yelled at them. first a john told me they didn't provide rentals, then i had the pleasure of talking to matt again. i have concluded matt is a dick. one would think he'd be a dick since i yelled at him, but he was prior to that, which is why yelling at him was so easy. and i apologized, anyway.
so matt's a dick to me again saying they don't provide rentals but they can give me a ride to and from work. of course the guy who could take me won't show up til 7:30. when i tell matt this is unacceptable he says, "that's all we can do for you. do you want to call back when you figure something out?"
"i'm not going to figure anything out. this is your fault because you didn't fix my car. i need to talk to someone above you."
then i spoke with a very pleasant man named carlos who said yes, they would have given owen a rental if the car had been in his name, or if he was my husband or something. he said he could get someone to take me to work when i dropped it off, so i had to go through the same thing with him. only this time he said he'd come in early and have a driver there at 6:50 a.m.
hmph. how they think i'm not going to get my way is beyond me. of course i could have missed a little work, but i didn't want to.
my family's going to six flags in dallas the weekend after easter, but i just discovered today owen can't ride rides because of ear problems he's always had. so i figured he could come but chill in the hotel while we're there. no, you can't check in until 3:00 p.m. what the fuck is that about? besides, mom would make us get our own room for $50, and i don't have enough. i'd have to pay for owen's ticket if he went that morning with us, so he wouldn't end up paying $25 for something he ends up not fully utilizing, you know. plus mine plus the hotel. i don't even have $100. come to think of it, i probably wouldn't even have the gas. this sucks. i was all excited about going to six flags, and it got all complicated.
now i'm just in a crappy mood. i was content and ready to go to bed after watching four hours of "law & order," and now i'm just annoyed. bleh.
