I was told on Saturday by a tow truck driver that my mechanic had gone out of business. Luckily Jonathan decided to stop by and see if there was anything there. Family emergency. They will be back on Wednesday. I really didn't want to have to hunt down a new mechanic. I trust these guys and they don't try to fuck me over when I go to them. Now I hope that they can get me set back up in my lifetime!

This is a bad week for this to happen. I really didn't want to have this lovely added stress when I am going to start a new job. I just didn't need this.

They delivered my new couch today.
It was supposed to be here on Friday.
That is not a problem.
We were not home.
That is not even a problem.
They threw it over a 4 1/2 ft. adobe wall and onto my garden with a bunch of stuff that was blooming.
THAT IS A PROBLEM!

I do have diabetes, which my midwife thinks will go away, but I don't get to see my midwife anymore. I have to see a doctor, because of the complications associated with the diabetes. It just bugs me, because I really like my midwife, and now I have to start all over. The only good thing is that I only have 9 weeks left, so I won't have to deal with the new person for too long.

In other news, I am going to quit my job. I am putting in my resignation on Thursday, and my last day of work is going to be July 14. I know it's not 2 weeks, but in the employee manual, they only ask for one week, and at this point I hate it there so much that I can't wait to get away. I have been informed that I am not allowed to sit down under any circumstances. That is not a possbility at this point. I am 7 months pregnant, and I need to sit down during the day.
I am absolutely terrified to quit, but I just can't stay. I talked to them about going down to part-time until the baby gets here, and I was told that I could do that, but I would lose all of my accumulated vacation and sick days (not to mention the benefits that are useless to me), even if I came back full time after the baby came. I would have to start over. I have been there 8 years. I have been there longer than any other current employee (including the 2 that were promoted above me). This is how they reward you for sticking around.

Also, my fridge has decided it doesn't like to be cold anymore. I thought I had fixed it, but apparently not. The freezer side stays cold enough to keep the normal fridge stuff cold, but not to freeze anything, and the normal fridge side does not stay cold anymore. I will have someone out to look at it. It never ends. Got my brakes fixed Saturday and was informed (and shown) that all four of my fuel injectors are leaking. I knew something was leaking, but... *sigh*

Apparently when I registered and insured my car in January, the insurance company fucked up my VIN number, so not only have I been driving around with no insurance really, because without a valid VIN number, they consider that the car doesn't actually exist, so there isn't anything to insure, but I also have no registration, for the same reason. Isn't that really fucking cute?
I now have to go back to MVD and pay them money to renew my registration, even though I didn't create the original fuck-up. I especially like the part where the insurance company has been taking my money every month, and had I actually gotten into an accident, I would've had no insurance. That's my favorite part. Yes...


{EDIT} I discovered today, when I called, that I would have to deal with this problem with the state MVD office in Santa Fe. I can't do it at one of the offices here. How fucking nice...
