This is my update/rant without pictures...

Friday night, go to leave school, I got the weekend off. The good ends about here.

Go to get my car, I have a ticket because the cardboard sign on my dash slide down, and you couldn't read the dates (???) My car sits in the same lot all semester, its the same cop on the same route ever day, twice a day!
WTF! Ticket was given wednesday morning. I supposedly have had three d ays to pay the fine or its gets "elevated" to the local smokeys and I get a bigger fine! I got to pay that fine immediately (cause they aren't open saturday, and I have 3 days to pay the ticket). The payment must be in check, and I have no checks. So now I need to appeal the ticket monday before it is "elevated". oh and btw, I cant' register for classes now that I am "in debt" to the police department. Your student account needs to be fee clear before you can register... And as it stands right now, if I don't get my classes I can't get into Penn State for engineering because I won't make the requirements... so hows that for a dick slap in the face? I risk ruining my degree because some freakin jack ass didn't call my tag in to see if it was still valid?

So I left the police station to go home, traffice was meh, but some jack ass jammed on his brakes to stop for someone making a turn. The guy stopped with about 6 car lengths between him and the turning car and I needed to stamp the brakes and the abs kicked in on the contour. I was about 2 feet from rear ending the guy...IF I hadn't been paying attention to the traffic around me I would have rear ended the dickhole...

I got my hair cut, and its short and I look like an rtard...

I rented movies to try to go home and relax. I put in Talladega Nights, Sony CD with sony anti prirate software. My pc (windows) goes ape ****s and goes to blue screen...I can now no longer play dvds in my pc. And it worked before. And I already try removing and reinstalling the drive...

Saturday morning...I got up early started my homework. went through macro, multivarible calc, got to phys. Homework is stuff we didnt' go over in class...go fustrated. Went to go cash my 30 dollar check and stopped at advanced to get fog bulbs, in line fuse, and swithc for the cavalier. Found out that advance actually cars GM style fogs with an entire kit for 22 dollars. About 10 cheaper until I bought used fogs, bulbs, wire, fuse, switch...

Go back to trying to fixe the dvd player, no prevail.

Saturday night go for wings, burnt my tough an got sick from the wings...Had to watch movies on the ps2 (useless tool) while sick.

This morning attempted to study to make up my phys 3 midterm because I power bombed the test 80% better then fat boy on japan...So I get to take a make up exam (3 hours) tuesday. If I get a 100% I'll have a 78% for the midterm..

I'm so annoyed I said screw it, nice day I'm gonna take the cavalier for a spin (its been sitting) and then wash the contour. Go drive the cavalier and guess what! Power steering pump sounds like it wants to gernade and the trans slipped while I was on my way home!

I went to sanding the hood on the cav (its being repainted, maybe) after having nothing better to do, because I was instructed that I cannot wash my car in the driveway because there is already enough mud...So the contour remains dirty as hell.

I scuffed the hood went to prime and the car **** paint in drops on some of the last passes...

I go inside, get a call from my buddy. His 86 SS Monte has a 2x3 inch rust hole. He was washing the car and the panel just caved in. This car had a 2700 body work bill 2 years ago, becasue the shop went over to restore the car. Its has been driven about 6,000 since then. Which means the shop didn't do much of **** to the car...So he's pissed and we're suppose to drive back up to ESU tonight so that both of use can get respective work accomplished for this coming week...

I have 3 exams, engineering homework, discrete homework (these are hours long assignments)

So anyone wannt loan me a bullet and gun?

End rAnT!
 
Don't stress about the ticket, they never do anything about them, had one for 3 months before I paid it off, still $15 when I did.
 
What cardboard sign fell in your car??


Sucks about the impending problems with your "new" beater, but welcome to the world of dirt cheap cars. It really is russian roulette, no matter how good the car seems.

As far as all the other stuff. I know what you mean. Everyone has days where it seems every possible thing that can go wrong, does go wrong. It's hard not to get pissed...but i find that if you don't sweat the little things the easier it is to get through them. Just relax man.
 
He probably meant the temp. parking pass, it's a rectangular piece of paper, but it's really thick and only valid for two weeks, you're supposed to leave them facing up with the info on them in plain view so the officers can read them and if they slide down so that a part of them can't be seen, especially the dates for which the pass is valid, you'll get a ticket. BTW Scott did you hear the new jerk police chief is trying to make tickets $25 instead of $15? Outrageous, before they do that they'd better expand their parking a lot, driving around for 45 minutes with every single spot that I could park in taken was the worst.
 
At ESU we don't have visitor parking, parking is free friday nights through sunday night, but other than that you'll get a ticket without a pass. The passes are free, but parking is so bad that they suggest commuters to show up an hour early just to find a spot. The only problem with that is that if you show up an hour early, and there isn't a spot, one doesn't magically open up while you wait, an hour later if no one has left, you're going to be just as late to your class. As I said, 45 minutes of driving one day just to find a spot, couldn't stop anywhere, had to drive around the campus in circles for 45 minutes. It's ridiculous.
 
Wow! Your weekend sucked. Sorry 'bout that.
Hope the tests go well for you!

Steph's first year at college, the parking permit was $10. The second year they raised it to $100! :crazy:
 
Ya know, I like how you said you had a "poop of a weekend" but called the guy that stopped short a dickhole. LMAO!

Oh, and your hair will grow so you won't look like a "rtard" for too much longer.

So, did I make ya laugh?
 
Well the ticket is at least straightened out... Ended up nulling the ticket and they reissued my parking pass? :shrug: Apparently they issued me a semester pass on the two week tag, even though the tag was dated from jan - may...who the hell knows. I still hate skhool...lol

I want to go home and just work on the Cavalier and clean the freakin Contour. It makes me sad seeing both cars in need of attention.
 
Glad the ticket issue has been taken care of!

Soon you can go home and give both cars all the attention they need.
Get yourself a parts list started, we're going to Harry's soon. We'll make it a day that Glenn has off so he can join us.
