Can anything else go wrong?
Turns out I’ve got a belt (alternator belt or some sort of belt) that’s all frayed on one side. Not sure how long it’s been like that. Gonna cost me $50 to replace it plus whatever other charges they decide to throw in. Thank god for credit cards. Otherwise I’d have to work it off.
They said it would take about a half hour, so I decided to walk home. The shop wasn’t far from my apartment (only took about 10 minutes to walk home). I tried to call my parents to let them know what was going on, but my damn cell phone won’t work. Either can’t get a signal or I get this weird image on the display … like a phone connecting to a modem or something. Never seen THAT before. The battery isn’t low … that’s not the problem. Not sure what is but it’s pissing me off. Fucking Verizon. First time I’ve had trouble like this though.
Shit … I should probably start walking back. They’re obviously not gonna be able to call me since my phone isn’t working. But he said it would be a half hour, so …
And I still haven’t eaten supper. But I’m definitely gonna go out tonite. I need a drink.
I have a good day at work then it all falls apart when I come home. Guess that means I shoulda stayed at work.

A frayed belt is better than other things it could have been. Glad your new job is going well.
