...ask me how my day's going. I dare you.

Okay, so this morning I woke up groggy and cranky, which really was my own fault for playing Sims until 4am, but I got ready for work ahead of time.

I found a dollar in the carport. That was cool.

Of course right as I was pulling out of the carport I came too close to the side and ripped the entire drivers' side mirror assembly off. The one fucking time I wasn't looking.

So then I was late to work. My supervisor wasn't there to protect me so I ended up being kidnapped to play bitch to other departments. And I managed to somehow bruise the arch of my right foot so walking sucks. Standing is even worse. Of course I spent most of the first five hours standing.

I risk the wrath of my boss's boss by taking a long lunch to get the mirror fixed. I discover the rain guard has managed to remove itself from my car while I was busy slaving away so I had to superglue it back and pray it stays.

Then I find out the cheap "universal mirror assembly" isn't universal because it doesn't fit my car at all. Seems every part of my car is designed to only fit within itself and everything else be damned!

The old assembly is beyond repair unless superglue will actually hold it on up to 85 mph. And none of the parts stores can get an assembly. It's one of those dealership items.

Which means $132.30 just for the part (I'll be damned if I pay labor to tighten screws).

So now I'm sucking down ramen and fuming.

It had to be the driver's side. The one side I have to have a mirror.

Of course I was only so close to that side of the carport because I didn't want to run over my nice neighbor.

I guess that'll teach me to not commit a crime.

There is some good news at least: Blue Sky makes white tea soda in a pomegranate flavor.

Would it be possible to borrow that part from the other mirror?

Poo perhaps?

Nope.

Solutions:

1) Find another vehicle like yours and "accidentally" knock off their mirror. Of course, finding another vehicle like yours might be difficult given the low population density of your area. The density of the population? That's another story.

2) Take your vehicle to a local high school and present your problem to the auto body class teacher as a unique "Challenge Opportunity" for his or her students. If the students use items found only on school grounds, they get extra credit.

3) Using your employee discount, buy safety goggles, an acetylene torch, soldering wire, a metal toilet paper dispenser (or similar item), and a compact kit with a large mirror. Fashion said items into a new driver-side mirror.

You're welcome. =)

Actually there's tons of Geo Metros around here with the same hatchback style as mine. Even weirder, there's tons that are the same year (or within a couple years) and weirder than that, the same bright green.

I'm not sure if I could inflict that on someone else. Unless they were rich. If they were, they wouldn't be driving an 11 year old 3 cylinder car.

That's a really shitty day. I woke up with a hangover this morning from a night of partying at Illinois Weslyan University with my friends, and tonight they'r doing a Toga, so i'll have loads of fun things to share sunday morning.

Someone cut off my penis last night and threw it out the window of a car going 90 mph on the highway... so, hey... could be worse.

Destroying my reputation one post at a time.

Ignoring the fact that, despite being 11 years old, this is the first car I've ever owned that is so new and the paint is still glossy so it looks nice (except patches from the repair work where a jackass ripped off my front bumper last year) which means I absolutely could never lower myself to defile my beautiful car with duct tape because it would make me look like white trash since I'm beyond looking like poor college student...I already tried and it won't work. There's something about the design of the assembly that won't hold properly.

Besides, duct tape would last five minutes in 125 mph wind.

Electrical tape is always pretty classy.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

I say go with about eight bottles of Elmer's.

Either that or tie a Mexican to the door and make him hold a mirror.
