A few weeks ago, I wrote about my troubles of breaking down or, more accurately,
my truck breaking down at work—and quite frequently, I might add. I literally
couldn’t go more than a day or two without something breaking. Well, I’m happy
to report that I’ve been assigned a new truck—a brand new truck! Great, right?
Maybe not.
The truck rides nice, the seat is comfortable, it smells clean and new,
and the paint is oh, so shiny! So, for the superficial, and ultimately
unimportant stuff, they’ve got it covered. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to
make much of a difference. The Check Engine light is constantly on, the cruise
sometimes works, and the transmission well, it takes a little coaxing.
Given my recent run of bad luck, I guess I shouldn’t have been too
surprised when, on only my second night in the truck, it broke down. But not to
worry, the mechanic said when he arrived, it was nothing major.
Nothing major? The truck would not run and there I sat, stranded on the
highway—again! That’s kind of “major” to me. Actually, the guy did have it
fixed pretty quickly and I was only a little late in getting home. Still, I
would think a brand new truck would last more than a measly two days. Two days!
But, as I was told, I have unreasonable expectations.
