I've determined that my car is possessed by some sort of lying demon and likes to make an ass out of me!
Tuesday, I'm at my internship and it's snowing, I decide to leave. Walk to my car unlock, turn on, open back door to get the snow wiper offer thingy and slam the back door...and it bounces back open. I look to make sure the seat belt wasn't blocking anything...nope, proceed to slam door again...it's not closing...commence five minutes of me slamming the door to no avail. shit. SOOO, one of the other interns walks by, and i'm like "D, you gotta help me" she didnt know how to help me, so next logical move? have an adult version of a temper tantrum in the parking lot. lots of cursing, and hitting my car with the snow wiper offer thingy. So I see one of the Residential Counselors warming his car up and i hop in my car, open the window, reach out and hold the back door shut, and drive over.
Joe, you gotta help me
so, we both stand there and analyze the situation, he tried everything i already tried with the latch mechanism.
do you have any rop?
OH YEAH...I actually have full climbing gear in my trunk! NO I DONT HAVE ANY ROPE!
so we dig through my trunk to find some kind of anchoring device and we find: christmas present i never brought in, crutches (from like 2 years ago...note to self, return crutches), rollerblades, a pool cue, clothes that I have to drop off at a shelter, hmmm, and that net thing that most trunks have to keep trunk crap under control!
BINGO
so, lock and close (as best as possible) both back doors and perform emergency surgery from the front seat. What I managed to rig was the net pulled across the back see, hooked on the window roller downer things (i love my technical terms) but they started to slid off due to the position when the window is closed. so we took both back seat belts and looped it around the net contraption to pull it back so it wouldn't fling off.
beautiful!
I was hysterical...my father didn't find it funny, but what the hell man, life is life and if you can't laugh it's not funny!
so, i'm up at school mind you...wed my father has to meet me in a parking lot because i had a meeting...we unhook the whole mess of net and seatbelt...
the door closed just fine
WAY TO MAKE AN ASS OUT OF ME CAR!
grrrr

It's almost over! I actually finished my last final on Thursday, but I have my internship at the rehab until Tuesday (and even then, I have to go there once a week over the break to keep up on my clients) BUT, it's almost over. Then I have one year left before I get my BSW...then I have to get my masters....and my LCSW...oh man...now I'm not happy anymore! crap
