It's Just One of Those Days
Sunday, August 17, 2008
So today I woke up and went into the bathroom, and the soap squirted all over me.
I knew it was going to be one of those days...........
I had planned on working on a stone sculpture for the museum, but I called it off because I thought I might get hurt. So instead I ran errands. I went to the hobby store to by some supplies for my next jewelry class, and bought some notebooks for class in a week. I then decided to stop at Subway because Meg wasn't feeling good, so she didn't want to cook.
I park outside of Subway, and get out of the car. I press the lock button on the door and shut it. Just then, I realized that I locked the keys in the car.
I blame my pants. I really do. I always wear cargo pants, and today I didn't for the first time in years. Now, I have two key chains. They clip together, but when I drive, I seperate the keys from the other part which has the remote to the car, as well as a lanyard, a multitool, and a locket. I do this because all of that together is too heavy for the ignition. Well, normally I throw the heavy half in my cargo pocket, and the light half goes in the ignition, then later, into my pocket. But this time, since there was no cargo pocket, I threw it on the passenger's seat.
When I got out, I threw the keys in my pocket like normal, but they fell out on the driver's seat. I noticed once I shut the door.
So I reached into my pocket to call Meg on my cell, just to realize my cell was on the car charger in the front seat. Really just piling up.
I went inside Subway and called Meg. She called Triple A. They wouldn't come since she's the cardholder, and she wasn't there. Stacy was at work, and I couldn't call my friends since my cell was in the car. So I walked the distance that in a car only takes a couple of minutes to Target. It took about 30 mins by foot. I bought some coat hangers, and a skateboard to get back to my car faster. The board cut it down to about a 10 minute ride. Good buy.
I then took the hanger and unwound it to realize I couldn't see the locks from the outside, so how the hell was I going to unlock it?
I then used the axel on the skateboard to form the hanger into a hook, and I hooked onto my big keychain, and pulled it to the window. So now I can see my keychain, but that's utterly useless. I then decided to form a finger-like shape out of another hanger, and I pushed the unlock button on the remote.
I got into the car, and felt insanely proud. I then got some Subway.
During the entire thing, the Subway guys were joking around with me.
"get it yet? no? oooooh. tooo bad"
Once I hit the button, we heard a "BEEP" and they said "what's that?" and I said "The sound of my car unlocking! I call that maneuver 'Genius'."
I'm home now.
