It Just Never Stops.

I lost A/C 9 days ago.  I drove 900 miles in 97 degree temperatures to get the truck to Bergeys in New Castle DE, which is the only place Korena will fix ANYTHING.

I knew I was in for it, because Bergeys is a Volvo Dealer that NEVER HAS THE PARTS WE NEED, and rarely gets the truck in within 24 hours.

I was already almost broke again as usual, and of course who pays for hotels and transportation?  ME!  The COMPANY Driver!!!

The front desk calls me at 4 pm to tell me that CLC rejected my payment for the first night (NSF).  Korena had done me the huge favor of stopping by one of my banks in person to deposit my latest overdue check, but the bank hadn't processed it yet.

They wanted a cash deposit for the regular rate.  I didn't HAVE it.  I managed to make a CLC-sized deposit to avoid becoming homeless again.

The deposit came through, but so did my Sprint bill and my collections agency payment (both of which I had had to yet again struggle to delay), and I have now been here EIGHT DAYS.

I am penniless.  Literally.  ETrade just emailed to tell me that my account was negative.  I think I have barely enough in the account I set up for Korena's convenience in paying me (hahaha) to cover my hotel bill.

I have some Triscuits, the last of my salami slices and swiss cheese left (thank god I don't eat much)...

Korena will pick me up early tomorrow.  The truck is not fixed.  I am to take it to another joint to get it fixed, then I guess to get it inspected.

Good thing she's picking me up because I CAN'T AFFORD A 13.60 UBER trip.

Believe it or not, I've left a bunch of stuff OUT!

If I kill myself, you're an idiot if you can't understand why.

Having said that, I'm working on something else long-term.  Top secret, since every time I tell anybody about anything I'm doing in advance it fails miserably.

...but dammit you guys what about my invention!?!  That was a better Xmas gift than any of you ever traded!!! You GOT IT!!!

...nothing.  Guess I'm "the Browns", right?
