So, it's Friday 13th. How is your's going so far?
Here's how mines going so far:
1. Work has been a bitch for a month, with no letup in sight. Boss is being a total prick and unreasonable and won't listen to anything.
2. 2 weeks ago I caused my wifes pet Conure (small parrot) to get killed, causing tension in the house.
3. Yesterday my truck started acting up causing me to be late to work. I'd rather take a beating than be late.
4. Today I drove 40 miles to work only to find out I couldn't locate my credentials to gain access to the facility and had to drive back home. Ended up having to disassemble the center console (a bitch by the way) to find it. It had slid behind the console under the dash.
5. Put everything back together and went to start the truck and now the truck won't start. It looks like the battery is dead, so I've got it on a charger, but in addition, the throttle body controller has failed so I'm looking at about $400 bucks to get my truck back on the road today.

I said fuck it and told the boss I'm not going to make it today. As a matter of fact, the way my luck is going today I'm not leaving the damn house.

You keep that dark cloud over there! I am just now coming out from under one right now.

Also, good luck with all of the above. When it rains, it pours.

Step 1 - kick the boss in the nads and make him your bitch.
Step 2 - take the truck down to your local MLK Boulevard and leave it parked over the weekend with the keys hanging out of the drivers side door.

You're welcome...

That's an interesting chain of events man. Lettuce raise a glass together and wash all the negative down and out. 😎

You don't have a base pass as backup? It only took a couple of times of me leaving my CAC at work to figure out a backup plan. :ROFLMAO:

Actually, it's a Ford King Ranch. They don't issue base passes anymore, and my retired ID plus my Chemical Area badge are required for access. Those without a military ID have to have another base issued ID plus their chemical area badge. It was my retired military id I lost. Had I not found it, it would have been even a bigger pain in the ass because I'd have to call in advance to the base 60 miles away reporting the lost ID, and then driving up there to get a replacement.

Ford was my first choice! :ROFLMAO: I decided against it because I'm looking at getting a F-450 as my next truck. :cool:

Ah, I forgot all about the retired military get-on-all-bases-for-free bit. 😔

Must be some serious business to need a secondary pass. 😎

Also, I've had my truck 4 years, and have 77K miles on it without so much as a hiccup in it. I can't complain about reliability. Doesn't matter the brand, if it has tires or tits its going to give you trouble sooner or later.
