When it rains it pours, and then it floods!

Soooo, a friend of mine looked at my car and said that the problem has something to do with the compression and something about rings in the engine - which would probably cost $1500 to fix at a shop.

Nice.

Then the manager of the apartments I'm looking to move into called me yesterday and informed me that their computer system and in house telephones had all gone out - major technical difficulties - so I couldn't move in today!

I then informed them that I just found out I couldn't move right now anyway, because the electric company wants to charge me a $400 deposit now. 
Why I was stupid enough to trust my ex husband to keep the electric on in my name and pay the bill on time, I don't know. 
His house got foreclosed on and the bank switched the electricity out of my name near the end of August - I was just going to have it transferred over to the apartments, which would have been costless!

*Sigh*

THEN - I found out that my place of employment is merging with, and then being sold to, NCO. 
*I* have debt with NCO. 
Apparently, this is a problem. 
(If you've ever had medical bills gone unpaid, it's a good chance you have a collection on your credit report from NCO!)

Is a little peace of mind too much for me to wish for?

So, that's my vent for the day.  Things could always be worse. 
I mean, I could be a midget and not be able to reach my spaghetti-o's.

Yep.

sorry things are going so badly right now :(  Things can't really get much worse, though, right?  I mean,the only way is up from here on out.  Trust God and rely on Him-- He will see you through.
