wednesday sucked.
let me tell you of the horrors that occurred on wednesday. bah. i went to work at 9. when i got there, my boss asked if i could take some dealers to chicago to catch a flight. what the heck. i told him to use me as a last resort. well... i ended up having to go. they ended up telling me that i had to stay to pick up some dealers flying in, too. kindra said she would come with me, so i felt a little better. the trip up to chicago was perfect. nothing went wrong. we got off on all the right exits, didn't hit any traffic, and got the dealers there in plenty of time. kindra and i had to wait three hours to pick up the others, so we decided to go eat at giordano's. yum. after eating, we decided to just sit in the van and listen to music. well, stupid me didn't think. i turned the key so only the radio and stuff worked, not all the way on because i didn't want to waste fuel. anyway, after an hour and a half, the battery died. yeah. we had to be at the airport in twenty minutes and the battery was dead. kindra started asking people around the parking lot if they had jumper cables and of course, nobody did. i went into giordano's and asked. the manager brought his truck around and helped us. i'm sending him a thank you card. we got to the airport around 7:45 (their plane landed at 7:20, so i thought it was ok). we had a Gulf Stream sign so the people would know who we were. yeah... nobody was there for us to pick up. we couldn't find them. i let kindra out to walk around because i couldn't park in the pick-up area. i drove around in circles for two hours! during that time i called shawn, my boss, and asked what was going on. he called sally, the Gulf Stream rep. she called another Gulf Stream sales rep. the reps were calling me. apparently, the two dealers weren't answering their phones. great. well, we finally got ahold of them and picked them up around 9:45 or 10. when we were talking to them, they said they didn't even know Gulf Stream was sending us to pick them up. i was pissed. what a waste of my night. we got back at 2 a.m. i did get paid a lot, though.
