So I get ready and head off to work this morning, when one of the front tires of my car blows out. To the point I can't just refill it with air or a quick patch job, I need an entire new tire.
Now normally I get up early enough to warrant myself plenty of time to go to work, so I figured maybe I could get a quick tire change at a Firestone tire center near my house. I manage to get there without dying in a firey (KILL IT WITH FIRE!) ball of death. New tire and labor $80, UGH. So I wait while they do that. Now it's getting close to when I have to start my shift so I call ahead and say I might be late. Well I'd get marked half off (half an "occurence") for being less than 1 hour late and a full "occurence" for more than 1 hour late, or 1 full one for missing an entire day. As time went on I knew I'd never make it on time, and I had some PTO banked, figured I might as well just take the day.
Tire gets fixed and I have the day to myself, so I hit up the local comic store and stock up on the latest Green Lanterns
Probably some of the best books I've read in a while,
So missing a day of work (paid either way) turned from a gloomy day into a decent one as I enjoyed a rainy day reading some of the best writing and art I've seen in a while.
How was your Thursday?
