waiting for a call that will probably not come
My car failed to start for me after I got off the train this evening. It doesn't appear to be a battery issue and the tank was completely full of fuel so I have no clue what is the problem. It almost started but then died again.
I'm very grateful that I didn't have to sit in the cold car for more than 30 minutes or so before Heather's dad was able to come over and pick me up. (We tried jumping the car but that lead us to diagnose it as something other than the battery.)
We called AAA for a tow to our nearby mechanic, after a 20 minute wait on-hold they responded. This weather is hard on everyone. At 7pm they said it could be any time between then and 11pm before a truck would be able to get there. It's now 11:30 and I'm on hold again wondering if I should just call it off. I've already scheduled a cab for a pickup tomorrow. I really don't want to have Heather go over there with Nate and try and coordinate moving the car in the afternoon.... Frustrating.
Anyway, I'm sitting here dressed and ready to go, as I have been for 2 hours, waiting for a call that will probably not come
