Last year my old CRT monitors broke. Botht the one at work and the one at home.
I replaced them with brand new 22" wide screen LCD monitors. The new one at work broke within a month.
Then my old home PC started beeping every time I did anything with it. I just took it to be an old PC, but the code on the motherboard told me it needed a new power supply. Ok, so I had that replaced, it still beeps.
So I bought a new PC. It works for the most part, but when playing games, it only works for a random period of time, and then crashes in a way that is unique.
Then my PC at work broke down, right after receiving my new home PC. I had a backup, but that doesn't work with the old large printer in the office (no parallel ports on the new PC). So I had to take it to get new ports installed.
Now may car starts dying.
Back in March, I took it in for breaks and tires. Regular maintenance. Within a week of getting it back from the shop, the fuel pump dies. So I have it towed to another place (closer to where it broke down than my normal place), and had that fixed.
Then, within a week of getting it back, I hear this horrible grinding noise, as well as some awful knocking sound coming from the front right of the car. It needed new sway bars. So I took it back to repair shop #1 for that.
After getting my car back, there is then a grinding noise from the transmission. I knew that it would need repairs at some point, I have been having problems with it for a year or so, so I put it off for the month of April, because I just wanted to drive my car after not having it in March.
In the beginning of May, I take it in to shop #1 for the transmission, as well as an oil change and fluids check. But they quote it as $3500 to replace the entire thing along with the clutch. No deal I says. I take it to shop #3 for transmission , clutch, and rear differential work, all totalling $2700. More work for less? Woopee!
I get the car back the weekend before memorial day, and on Wednesday night the back right tire pops...
I take in to shop #4 the next Monday to have that replaced, and by Thursday my car is overheating...
So I borrow my mother's car while trying to figure out where to take it to get it fixed now. My mother's car all of a sudden needs a new muffler...
So my parents leave this Friday morning at 4:00am to go out this weekend to Colorado for vacation. The take my mother's car, leaving me to borrow my father's. I then proceed to lock the keys, as well as my satellite radio inside the car before leaving for work.
So I drive my still overheating car into work, drop it off at a place down the road from my office for repairs, and rent a dodge Dakota truck for the weekend while waiting for my car to be fixed.
Anyone want to guess what happened to the Dakota this afternoon? Well don't feel bad for getting it wrong. The back window fell out into the pickup portion. It is now sitting on the backseat.
And even though my car is fixed, I can't pick it up until Monday because I don't have enough money in my checking account to pay for it, and I can't transfer it until tomorrow when shop #5 is closed until Monday...
I really want all of this nonsense to be over, please...
