They Say Things Break In Three's...
I'm ready for this week to be over. I'm hoping that once a week has passed since everything started it will stop there!
It started off dealing with a laptop that I had ordered a wireless card for... Once I received the card via UPS I brought it home and installed it...BUT it wasn't compatible with something in the laptop. Made it freeze up...SOOO, I've ordered another brand!
Next my cell phone had been acting up, when you opened or closed it, it would shut itself off and restart. I made plans to take off of work early this week to take it back to Memphis to have it sent off...It must have heard be talking about it...Now it hasn't done it since then. I'm waiting for it to start acting up again so they don't look at me like I'm nuts because it's not acting up now.
Next was my taillight on my Jeep. Saturday night was getting ready to head home when Mom points out my taillight isn't working. I'm thinking "no big deal, just a burned out taillight" The parts stores were closed down on Sunday, Pamida didn't carry them, so I just waited until Monday night to pick the bulb up and then put it in when I get home. BOY...I WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT SIMPLE. I get home, pull the lamp assembly out, turn the lights on so I know it's working when I get the bulb replaced...BUT the bulb was working before I put the new one in. Come to find out I have a bad connection. I take to Jim's Custom Muffler on Tuesday night, find out I have a bad wiring harness...I then get to make a hauling trip to Bloomfield to get a new harness from the junkyard. Had to go back to Jim's after I get off of work tonight to have the harness replaced...(Thankfully that's resolved...**KNOCK ON WOOD**)
Also on Saturday night I found out my Canon PowerShot S2 IS wasn't working. Did a little research and found that it's most likely a loose connection to the CCD sensor...Meaning I have to call Canon, send my camera in, hopefully they will fix it for free. I don't use that camera as often, but it's my backup in case my Rebel XTi breaks down...so need to get that call made soon.
Yesterday at work I couldn't find my security swipe card for work anywhere. I had checked my Jeep's tray, glovebox, center console (thinking it was misplaced in dealing with the taillight issue)...NOPE, not there. Checked the bag I keep my stuff in at work (not there), checked the bag I take to work with me (not there either)... OH CHUCK...I NEED A NEW CARD!!! You get two freebie cards before you have to pay for them...well #1 broke on me...and #2 is the one I lost...so #3 cost me $3.00.
Also on top of that I've found the tire on my Jeep is going low...this is the same tire that I had fixed 3-4 weeks ago because there was a screw and a piece of wire in it (all at once). I think I'm going to have to break down and go ahead and get some new treads. Need some before winter hits, and I'm about fed up with dealing with that specific tire!
So far that nothing else has kicked the bucket on me...but again I'm knocking on wood. I think since I'm caught up I'm going to go somewhere to get a btie to eat...I think I deserve it.
I was looking around on my Backgrounds app for my iPod Touch and found some of these funny ones. Brightened up my week a little bit!
