Well folks, I start work Monday, er, training at least. I'm so glad I didn't have to start my working life at a fast food joint like McDonalds, or some crap like that.
In other news, yesterday, while trying to figure out why the hell my car started making really bad-sounding noises, I tried to put it up onto those little wheel ramps. They looked like this, only red, and without the holes for traction. So I am trying to get my car up these damn things, and it's just not going, so I use my driveway, and try to use gravity to my advantage to get the car up the ramp, but still no. Too little traction on the ramps. SO, I back up the slope of the driveway, try to create some inertia to push the car up the ramp, but the inertia generated was too powerful and the car didn't stop, but ended up going farther, over the ramps, and the ramps ended up sliding under the car, and over my left foot -which at the time was outside of the car- and left my foot in slight pain. As of today, I have swelling near a scrape at the center of my foot, and my middle toe is cut open, and bruised badly. I had to use a jack to get the ramps out from underneath my car. It sucked, but oh well...
Another bit of bad news, the Rhythm&Booms fireworks display was canceled tonight due to bad weather. Bummer, since my grandma was pleading to go home, we got stuck right as everybody was leaving. (I was at a "family gathering," so we weren't at home.) Rain date is tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to go to that.
So, not to leave everybody on a bad note, earlier this week me and my dad took the old speakers out of my car, and replaced them with some new Pioneer speakers. They're so awesome. The old speakers had the material around the woofer deteriorated, on all 4 speakers, so there was never any bass coming out, and whenever a bass note was played, all that could be heard was crackling. That was annoying, and I'm glad that problem is fixed. |
