I thank god I'm still alive.

I left the house at 1am on my way to sheetz for some Mt. Dew and a chicken wrap. So I leave the house and of course on the way there I see a man falling all over the ice stumbling for any sign or pole he can hold on too. He's drunk, me being the good person I am clear off my front seat turn around and convince the man he's drunk, and to let me take him home. Which of course I do and he tells me on the 5 minute drive all about how he has nobody and it makes him sad to see marriages fail and partners fight. So he returns to his home with a BAC well off the scale, I'm pretty sure he would've died on his own, he was a mess. So I continue after dropping this man off to sheetz, believing my karma has just been boosted I'm of course wearing a smile. I walk into sheetz, just thinking, grab some dew and order my wrap take it to my car, hop in, and....this is where my night went to hell. My car wouldn't start, the usual noise it makes was not being made and it just made a buzzing, of course being me I just take a second, look under my hood, like I know whatever the hell it is I thought I could do, get back in and try again. No luck. A young scruff ball of a man walks up to me asking me about my drugs. I told him, I have no drugs and I do not sell drugs nor do I use them. Sorry. Call my boss. Call my boss. Call my boss, he answers. I tell him the situation, he's an hour away he'll be there soon. 45 minutes later I get a call, from my boss, he has another ambulance run, 15 minute run, so I wait. Another nasty older man walks up to me, asks me for drugs I again turn him down while fearing for my life. I don't want my car towed. I don't like AAA, So 15 minutes go by I get another call. I'm still in the parking lot of sheetz with no heat. I'm now using bic lighters to warm my hands. Yes, I went there. He has another 15 minute run, no big deal I call AAA whoever makes it first makes it. My phone dies sometime between then and now. I don't have a car charger. So AAA is there an hr later, my boss isn't. So AAA jumps me, I guess that was all I needed and I head over to the station because my car will die if I shut it off. So I figured my boss could take me to buy a battery and everything would be fine. He could put a battery in and my life would go on. My mom is HOURS away so she's of no assistance. I love her anyway. So I'm driving down macarthur and I'm braking for a light, my radio goes off, along with my lights and everything else. My car has officially died. I pronounced it deceased at the scene, I pop the bitch in neutral and coast into a nearby parking lot it's sometime around 345, 40o? I had no concept of time without my phone. PS two cops stopped by in the sheetz parking lot one asked me why I was there, the other was just satisfied to find I had no drugs and I wasn't dealing. What's with the drugs? Do I look like a drug dealer? Aren't they all mean? I'm too nice. So my car hadn't really warmed up so I was freezing, I grabbed a hoodie, a jean jacket and a parka and I set for a hike. I walk about a half mile looking for an open gas station, nothing, I walk back. Another cop stops me, a lady cop. She tried to call my employer and get a hold of anyone who could help me. No luck so I thank her, she tells me I need to move my car, I invite her to help me push it home, she kindly declines then leaves and I hike across the highway where I meet the homeless man who needs money the conversation went something like this.
Mr.Homeless: Hey man you got any cash?
Me: NO
Mr.Homeless: Dude I really need some cash
Me: If I had cash would I be walking right now?
Mr.Homeless: I just need some MONEY
Me: I'M CRAZY RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, STEP OFF!
and he did.
so it's off to walmart looking for a wall charger and praying customer service will let me plug in my phone just long enough to get my bosses cell number. My boss drives by while I'm in walmart. They don't have my charger, I'm crying, In the middle of walmart. It's about 5am and everyone is watching me breakdown in the middle of electronics. I'm literally crouched on the ground crying. I look up to see a charger for lg, it's of course a car charger. Hoping I have a little bit of juice left in my battery I buy it and hike back I plug it in and drain my battery of any juice left in it for a 4 sec phone call to my boss in which I screamed/cried "I'MINTHERADIOSHACKPARKINGLOTCOMEGETMEINEEDHELP" It was terrible. So my boss came and saved me. We went to walmart, got jumper cables took a look see at the car, figured it was hopeless and he helped me by jumping my car every 5 miles. I coasted down a couple hills cause I lost my car at the top. It was the BEST there's nothing like it. I told my mom the story at 6am, she was not pleased with any part of it particularly the drunk everyone finds it dangerous, well I live on the edge, so basically I was without heat for hours, I cried, alot. I've never had an emotional break down in the middle of walmart before tonight, I must say it's something everyone needs to see. And of course when I get home I can't get up my driveway, thank you karma, I'll never pick up a fucking drunk again. If I ever make it to florida it'll be a miracle. So in conclusion tonight was the worst night of my life. I hate pennslyvania. I have the best boss in the world. My luck sucks and I really really hope when I wake up everything is better. Because right now, my day can't really get much worse. :)
