I am losing my grip...

[From The Ashes]

I feel like my life is spiraling out of control. Not that it was all that in control...

My request to work Xmas day? DENIED. It's my usual day off, no shift swapping.

The little gift I bought myself? Stolen off the FedEx truck. The seller's not returning my emails.

Car's got an electrical problem I can't get nailed down. I start a new shift tomorrow, 5p to 2a. If I go out there and it won't start at 2am what the hell am I gonna do?

How much stress can FTA handle without going 'round the bend? :(

1. ah shit, sweetie

was the package insured?

and what is the car doing?

[From The Ashes]

3. I hope the package was insured...

I don't know. I'll have to get mean with the seller. Maybe threaten a negative eBay rating. I'm too nice for this shit...

The car has an electrical problem. Been to two diff shops, both said the alternator is good, still when I go out and turn the key over and nada. :shrug:

[fizzgig]

5. is there any way you can get it started?

checked your fuses? have they tested your battery?

[From The Ashes]

8. Just replaced the battery and...

the alternator belt. Next morning (yesterday in fact) it was dead again. I assume that the fuses are good.

[fizzgig]

10. hmmm

i'm sure they've looked at everything (fuel injector, spark plugs, ignition coil)

i hope you get it sorted out

2. Dude

I hope things get better for you. Shouldn't FedEx be responsible for the stolen item?

[From The Ashes]

6. The seller has to put a claim in to FedEx...

...I'm hoping that he either will a) give me my money back so I can get something else, or b) have another of the item I ordered, and will send me that one.

4. I feel your pain

I won't list my current load of crap, but, I know what its like to be alone in this big ole world. Tie a knot and hang on :hug:

[From The Ashes]

9. Thanks...

:hug:

7. My dear From The Ashes....

My heart hurts for you...

Do you have AAA for auto insurance? Or does your auto insurance have roadside service?

I'm so sorry...

:hug:

[From The Ashes]

11. Thanks Peggy...

No AAA and no roadside service. There's a SAPD Officer that patrols the parking lot, he will probably help if need be. :shrug: To be honest, Christmas worries me more.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I'm glad to hear about the police officer...

And once you get the car fixed, Christmas won't be a problem...:hug:

[LynzM]

13. Sorry about all that, dude.

That's a nasty pile of stuff all at once. :hug:

I had a car that would do that, be fine, then die, then be fine. Finally took it into a dealership, and they hooked the computer up, it was an oxygen sensor keeping it from starting. Technology, sometimes, backfires... :banghead: Hope you get yours figured out soon!
