Work woes (or why I'm sobbing on the couch) (TW lots of whining)
So, I'm having a hell of a week at work and I need to vent. This is long and I'm sorry, but no one's around and I'm a mess.

I came in for an oil change, but I had a suspicion that my brakes were in need of service, so I printed out my 50% off brake pads coupon and went in. Sure enough! My pads were worn and the rotor needed to be replaced. I've had this car for 5 years and have never serviced the brakes (not a car person, no idea what's…

I think I busted my ankle while I was away and had to keep walking on it, so now that I don't have adrenaline to rely on it's starting to really hurt. I'm so tired I'm almost light-headed.
