A rant of epic proportions

[villyjean]

Some of you may remember that the radiator blew on my car in early July. We finally got the money to take it in at the end of August. Josh's friend's dad is a mechanic, so we took to his shop. He still hasn't even taken a LOOK at it! I've been on Josh's tail about it *since it's actually HIS car* and instead of calling the guy directly he's been using his friend as a middle man. Yesterday I finally told him he should really just have it towed somewhere else. I guess he called the guy today and said he was thinking about going elsewhere, so the guy said he'd go ahead and take a look at it. I was LIVID. It's too freaking late now! It's been over a MONTH! Josh says, "I understand though, he's the only one there..." blah blah blah. Well then he should've said he was too busy right then. Josh also says, "it's not that big of a deal, it's not like I really need it." No, he doesn't, because he goes to school online and doesn't WORK, but [I do! I've had to severely limit my schedule because only TWO of my coworkers live anywhere near me and I have to be scheduled with them! Also, I had to remove myself from the "on-call" list because I can't reliably be available on short notice.

I had to put my search for a second job on hold because I have no transportation. I'm sick of having to rely on other people to get me to and from work, or to take me grocery shopping, etc. I know he doesn't want to be a jerk because it's his friend's dad, but obviously this guy isn't worth it! I swear I'm going to blow a gasket.

I really wish I could afford my own car... but gee, I would need ANOTHER JOB to get the money for that!
