Andrew (Television Executive)

My car won't start.

I assume that the battery is dead, although I can't think of a reason why. I didn't leave the lights on, or a door open or anything.

But it won't start.

Kind of threw a wrench in my plans for the day, but that's the way it goes.

Time for a late lunch, and the a lot of boring admin work.

@Ethancdavenport I'll survive.

Truck is still having a weird issue with the brakes that I need to get looked at.

The sooner I get a paycheck the better I'm going to feel.

@ajroach42 I lost my debit card and am running on cash, which is not the same, but still distressing.

@Ethancdavenport I know you said you ordered a card, which is good.

But next time, just go to the bank and have them issue a temp card first. They'll still have to mail you a card, which will still take days/weeks, but you'll have a card to use until you get the official one.

I had to do that right after we moved to DC. Twice. Because they mailed my first replacement card to GA.

@ajroach42 I will do that if the situation arises again.
