Friday i took the day off and got my truck smogged and registered.. i did my town run and went to get my windshield replaced... two hundred bucks, no problem. "I'll be back after lunch." i said. while shopping around i got a call from a buddy who was headed down to my house to help me with a bit of a project. so i called and scheduled the windshield replacement for Monday(today).
as i was driving to work this morning the jackass/idiot/tourist driving in front of me left the road and veered into one of the many dirt turn outs on our highway, throwing up a veritable rooster tail of mud and rocks into the highway. wouldn't you fucking know it but one of these rocks smacked the drivers side of the windshield and left a nice nick in it and brought over even further into my view the existing crack from the passenger side..
now, if i would have replaced the windshield on Friday like i had planned, i would have been fucking pissed. but i didn't, so i don't give a shit. but this is one of the reasons why i haven't replaced my broken windshield. its been five or more years since denims girlfriends head went smacking into it and four Bloody Marys went onto the dashboard... so many moons ago...
sooo... does anybody have a damned if you do story of their own?!?!?

Oh so many to choose from - I'll think this over during my two o'clock meeting that I have to suffer through, I'll take notes and get back to you.
GOD I love my job!
goob! happy monday meeting to you then!
Mrs. CSI and I have talked often about replacing our carpet in the house. This idea is often cut short as one of our four cats walks up and barfs up a hair ball.
Moments later, another is scratching its claws on the carpet on the stairs. And then to top it off, another goes scooting by, dragging its ass on the carpet.
I think I'll just replace the windshield on my truck instead.
B
Isn't that the way it always is.
There is something you want and when you get it, something fucks up or you find out you screwed yourself and t here isn;t anyone you can kill for it.
I paid 180 to fix my dishwasher only to find i could have bought a new one for 220 and tweo months later it died again.
It would make for a funnier story if you had replaced the windshield on Friday. :)
Like QG I've got so many. I'll be pondering...
Nope. Everything always works out perfectly.
Let me know when you DO get the new windshield. I've got some zip tying to venge upon.
*searches on the ground for some sling-shot sized pebbles...
csi, *laughs at thought of cats rubbing asses on carpet* ah , the sweet memories of owning cats... dogs do it too!!
