Well, turns out my car's computer is failing and the mechanic can't get a new one for my car until Monday at the earliest. I am really afraid to see what my car's repair bill is going to look like. I already feel ready to bash my head against a brick wall until I black out.
Anyway, the drive to drop my mother off at work and then over to the mechanic was uneventful; everything was just fine. However, once I got there, that's when things went wrong. I was fortunate my father was working around the mechanic and was able to pick me up and drop me off at my house before going to his job site. I was unfortunate however that the problem with my car is something I have no choice but to cope with for the next few days. Pretty much when I picked my car up today, my tachometer was completely dead. NOTHING worked at all; the thermometer, RPM gauge, speedometer and fuel gauges are all broken.
I had to judge how fast I was going on the way home, and sadly, I failed at that miserably according to my father who was following me back. I was going 5 MPH under the speed limit, mostly because I had no way to judge my speed and I was worried about speeding. Thankfully, I wasn't surging like I was coming home from work last night. But I don't plan to drive more than I have to. Hopefully my work schedule isn't going to be horrible because if it is, it's going to be that much more painful as I have a bad feeling this repair bill is going to kill me and not being able to go to work on scheduled days = less money. Don't forget student loan repayments as well. Yeah, back to being just as screwed as I was before I got my job thanks to all of the expenses coming up.
