Well I am here at waiting for a sale order to come in. My car broke this afternoon while I was at the doctors office. My brother-in-law who is a mechanic says it is the alternator. On my car a countour it is abotu 600$. WHere the f!@k and I going to find 600? I can barely put 20$ in gas in my cars to go to the shit hole of a job. Before you all start the " find a different job" bit I can not. I mean if the right one came about I would but I need to have a certain level of money and benefits before I can leave. I am so depressed as I sit here I am still 1000$ short of my goal which means tomorrow I can and most likly get fired. I hate this place yet can not leave it. Nice huh?:(

Are you going to go postal if I tell you everything has a way of working out? Not always the way we planned or the way we want, or in a manner that doesn't scare the hell out of us as it does, but it will.:love:

(I would hug you, but there's no conceivable way I could get my arms around you.)

Hang in there mutt! I know it sucks big time. They keep cutting our pay at IBM by 5% in 2 years we have lost 15%. You could always try to find the parts before they are lost hint hint the midnight parts exchange!

Mutt, please do not despair. There's a song that says something like "the only thing that stays the same, is that everything changes." You might not know it today, but changes are coming and they will be positive ones. You must stay alert and watch for them and everything will work out.

We love you Mutt!

Mutt, is that cost if someone else puts it in your car? Is there any chance that you can find a used one for the time being? I do all my own mechanic work and if I'm short on cash, I have found a good used one as they will test them for you first to make sure they are good. If you don't do your own work, maybe you could find a friend that could? You have probably already thought of all this already, but I thought I'd ask in case your anger got in the way! *wink* It will work out...somehow it always does..

My thoughts exactly veda, years ago I exchanged my old alternator for a refurbished one and put it in myself for under a $100. Ask your bro-in-law to help you out and show you how to change it yourself. The trick is not to hook it up backwards :laugh: Good luck mutt, been having a rotten day myself so I empathize.
