Car update with dragon eggs

Well, finally got Ford back out this morning to tow the car from the employee parking lot. Bad news is that I don't know how long it'll take for them to find and fix the problem. The good news is that the first time the tow truck driver tried to start the car, it did the same thing to him that it did to me when I tried to start it Tuesday afternoon, and after he looked under the hood, messed with the battery cable for a minute, and tried again, the car did start, so whatever's wrong is apparently very fixable. They just have to find the actual problem rather than the symptoms. Here's hoping it's easy and cheap...in that good way. ;)

Work is boring today. Basically, my job is to sit here and wait for stuff to trickle in from UPS and FedEx. It's doubtful that the supply trucks will show (I'm hoping they don't, really), so once I take care of the usual suspects, I can get out of dodge and have a semi-extended weekend. And...wait for Ford to call me back.

So that's life in a nutshell. Now I just have to figure out how to get some milk and creamer in the house this weekend, if the car doesn't get fixed. Think I'll skip the milk and just walk to Wally World for powdered creamer once I get off work.

And the verdict is...

Loose battery cable. Go figure.

I'll still be paranoid for about a month, but yeah. Car works fine now. Actually, it seems to be working better, smoother...and my speakers seem to be louder. I don't get it, but not complaining. Just glad to get my car back, and on the same day.

And for free, which was even better.
