A Tuesday story

t was a cold rainy Tuesday morning, but she decided to go to work anyway. It was very dark outside as the outside lights in the complex were noton. She stumbled to get the key in the car door, yes it opened. She put the key in the ignition and nothing happened. WHAT !!! She had just spent$500.00 yesterday to get the battery and alternator fixed. Now what. She walked back to her apartment in the cold windy rain, and called AAA. Avery nice woman took her call and told her not to wait outside because it was so cold and rainy, but to wait inside and they would call when they were5 minutes away. She waited in her apartment. The phone rang, AAA was 5 minutes away. She put on her coat and went back outside where it was
raining so hard she could hardly see. She waited and waited and waited until she could wait no more. 40 minutes went by and no AAA. She walked backto her apartment, her shoes were soaking wet, there was a message on her phone. It was AAA. They had been waiting at the rental office and since shewasn't there they left. She thought to herself, we never agreed to meet at the rental office. She called AAA again. This time she spoke with an extremelyrude woman, who yelled at her, she yelled back and said she would be at the rental office. How long would it take for AAA to get there. 30 minutes.
She decided not to wait. She put on her coat and walked in the cold rain to the rental office. The AAA truck came in 5 minutes. She climbed into thetruck and showed the driver where her car was. He looked at the battery. The battery had a bad connection and had not been bolted back down when theyfixed it the day before. The AAA guy got the car started and drove away. The AAA knight in the bright yellow truck had saved her. Now she wasgoing to go back to the bad Sears store and give them a piece of her mind. She arrived at the Sears store and told them her plight. They said it would take
45 minutes, she said she would be in the waiting room. 45 minutes later she decided to go see if the car was ready. She noticed it hadn't been moved.She was not happy. She asked about the status of the car and was told. Oh, it's done !!!!! Sorry the guy said. We should have noticed this yesterday.She got in her car and drove away. She went to Starbucks and got a nice hot cup of coffee and then went to work. Who knows what will happen tonightwhen she gets back in her car. Will it start, or won't it. Stay tuned...................
