    Default big vent


    Everything I own has broken this weekend. Saturday I was mowing the lawn and the lawn mower blew up. Just went bang and doesn't start now.

    Sunday morning in the shower I noticed that the shower was spitting air a bit. I made a mental note to check on the water pump, but I forgot cause I was on my way somewhere. In the car, the brakes started squeeling. When I got home, I heard the water pump running as I walked in the house. Shit. I go in the little water pump house and its like two hundred degress and smells kind of burnt.

    Then I go to school this morning (first day of the semester) and there's this form I need signed from the dean because I'm taking a lot of classes. My advisor and dept head already signed it, and I didn't think it would be a big deal. Apparently it IS a big deal, because instead of me taking extra credits and graduating in two semesters, he wants me to do it in three semesters. Fuck that! After this semester I'm not paying another cent to that institution!

    My lawn mowers broken. My car's broken. My house is broken. And my education is broken.

    I wanna move.

    In keeping with Melonie's post, at least everything broke in the same day! Smooth sailing from here on out!

    Then the cell phone broke (but I fixed that myself). I got the car fixed.... I know it's normal for brake pads to go out, but it's frustrating cause I haven't had it long.

    Any advice on finding a good plumber? I think it may have been a bad plumber that got me into this. I know there's a waranty on my water pump... and I don't understand why it didn't kick itself off.

    At least it wasn't struck by lightning. The well at a home always got hit by lighting all the time. And it wasn't like anything special - just a pipe in the ground (the pump was wayyyyyy at the bottom.)
