Crappy Weather Day

Anyone who lives in Southwestern Ontario this weekend knows it's a crappy weekend because of the weather.  There's an ice-storm in progress and it's providing a good reason to stay inside.

What's on my mind today?  After having a 8 hour suspension from work, I am glad I cancelled the car reservation that I made for this weekend.  I don't have the money for it and I wouldn't want to be out driving in this weather.


Right now as it stands, it has been a year and a half since my car broke down and died.  Which leaves me few options on how to get out of town.  One of them being renting a car.  I love the option of being able to rent a car from a local place but it sucks to pay out more money than what it's worth.  I definitely don't look like this when it happens.


Unfortunately, I'm still looking at a debt that I'm paying off from two years ago.  Between the "special assessment" for the condo that I live in, the car repairs and the already existing  on the line of credit, it has been a long road to paying nearly $7000 completely off.  This is based on the fact that I don't have a boyfriend/husband or a room-mate to help out with the household expenses.

Okay, now I'm miffed about what I've just found.  Enterprise rent-a-car sucks the big one.  I don't know how many times I needed to rent a car for just a day and Enterprise doesn't do it with any deals.  I've found a site https://www.priceline.com/ that provides multiple deals that include renting a car for a day - even if it's in the middle of the week.  What gives with Enterprise only giving you a deal if you rent for a week or weekend?

Oh well, I've found a new site that does what I'd like.  Now back to the piss, poor day that has me doing housework that I don't want to do.  I'm finally getting around to doing laundry, light dusting and general housework.  Did I mention that I don't like doing it?  Point being, I'm doing it now so that I can do what I want when there's nice weather outside.  I hope that it isn't too bad for my trip into work tomorrow on the bus.


Unwanted phone calls

In the last five minutes, I've gotten two  unwanted phone calls.  The first one for air duct cleaning, which allows me to make a choice....
