When bad things happen... they happen in bunches...

I have had my share of bad luck lately.

1) I get my 20" put back on; they start making a bunch of road noise due to the treadwear being feathered. Although I purchased the replacement warranty; Discount Tires wont replace them giving me excuse after excuse.

2) I get the run a around from the dealership and Discount Tires.

3) I failed my Accounting Test.

4) I just ruined the surface of my brand new desk with candle was (V-Day) then when I try removing the wax, I remove the surface with the wax!

5) I had my 4.8is kit painted at the body shop; too bad they painted it Lemans Blue instead of Toledo Blue.

6) I had numerous problems with my bluetooth retrofit.

7) I fell and hit my head for the first time in 2 years while snowboarding and my neck is so soar...

8) My TV is broken; it just turns on for five minutes then turns itself off automatically.

I guess these are just little things; that honestly I shouldn't be so stressed about. Atleast I'm healthy and have a roof over my head...
Sorry to rant to you guys.

Hang in there man. We all go through stressful times like these. What's important is how we cope with them. It will pass.

I feel your luck changing. You got all the bad luck out of the way the beginning of the year, so look forward to the next 10 months of good luck!

Maybe a little less snowboarding will prevent the sore neck and the "F" in accounting. RE: the paint job, like everything else (including accounting) you have to do your homework; get recommendations from those you know and your dealer, make sure he (and you) knows what you want done. YOU have to make an effort if you want things done right or in your favor. Enuf sermonizing. Sorry your rolls are coming up snake eyes lately

I'm so jealous - you're getting all of your bad luck out of the way so early - you're sure gonna have a great year now!

Little things like this will happen. And it's good to talk about it sometimes, like you did. Don't let it get you down, and keep on truckin'!
