Jiffy Lube is retarded



I just noticed that my blog is named "Stuck in an 80s time warp" yet I don't talk about much 80s stuff.. at least as much as I should. Guess sometimes I'm just caught up in real life, I guess. Living in 2006 and working anywhere from 50 to 75 hours a week can cause you to be devoid of any spare time. Im so caught up in my radio career, paying bills, doing housework, and spending time with my Manny that I don't even have time to research on 80s crap. Since I'm in the middle of an 11 hour shift here at work.. followed by a 5 hour one in SF in the morning, I'll try to make time.

I'm also trying to help Manny find another fulltime/parttime job. He brings in about $500-700 a month, just barely enough to cover his half of the bills, if that. He's trying his fuckin ass off to find other work, and has gone to 6 interviews in the past 2 1/2 months, with no luck as of yet. Well 3 of the interviews have been in the last few weeks, and they said "they were interviewing other applicants" and would give him a call when they made their decision. So it's basically up in the air. I have had experiences with a few jobs that do take up to 3 weeks to call you back and hire you, so he does have a chance. On the other hand, they could just be blowing him off. So in the meantime he and I are still perusing Craigslist and thinking of any place that we can for a job. It sucks.

Also, something happened yesterday/today that makes me feel like a retard. I left my other set of keys at KKIQ, in the bathroom. Along with a bottle of water, a yogurt, and a spoon. In a Safeway bag. I asked my homegirl Tricia if she had seen any keys at work there, and she contacted the building's lost and found. Low and behold, she found them. Unfortunately due to my crazyass schedule this weekend I won't be able to go get them until late Monday morning.

Earlier today I went to Jiffy Lube to get my oil changed and wiper blades replaced. I was going to get the tires rotated but they were "doing inventory and couldn't use that work area". I also was going to get two of my front signal lights replaced but they said I probably need to get a fuse replaced. I also should get my transmission serviced soon. I have like over 51,000 miles by the way. I'm thinking of going to Doral's Auto Repair or asking around for a place that can replace my fuses, rotate my tires and service my transmission before I take my road trip in April. I really don't want to go to the dealer, they will rip off my ass and charge like $400 or something. Oh yeah, when I left Jiffy Lube, I discovered my emergency brake wouldn't turn off, and my speedometer wasn't working. I turned around and came back, they fixed it. If they weren't, I was gonna plan on getting someone there fired. Sorry, but my car was running before I brought it there. Freakin morons.

That's what's on my mind for now. I'm gonna go eat some potpie and chicken nubgets, and chill out for a while here at work.
