I cannot believe that I haven't told you! Proceed with caution if you have sensitive ears.

OMG! So the other day I had to drive Jack's car to work because his rim had to be worked on, and it was on a donut. He had to drive to Palm Springs. Ladida you get the picture. It was overcast enough to put on headlights, so I turned on the headlights. I went to work. I come out after work, and I hit the button to unlock the doors. It doesn't work. I think "Piece of junk! The button doesn't even work." I try to unlock the doors with the key. It doesn't want to unlock. I go to the passenger side it doesn't want to unlock, but I finally get the door open. I think to myself, "That is scary. I will never lock the doors to this car again." I hop in the car, put the key in the ignition, turn the key, and nothing! OMG! Seriously? The battery is dead? What the hell? I am a southern girl, so what do I think? I need to get someone to jump the car. I run inside the store, and I ask everyone and I do mean EVERYONE that works there if they have any jumper cables. No one has any! I was pissed! How the hell does no one have jumper cables in this store. Someone informs me, "Well everyone has AAA." My words, "That is still not an excuse to not have jumper cables in your car." I made the decision to purchase the jumper cables because Jack needed some in this "new" car anyway. I buy them. I proceed to ask one of the girls if I can use her car to jump my car. Her answer is, "No I am so afraid to do that. I haven't even popped the hood on my car yet. It is so new." I say, "I know how to do it. It really isn't that difficult." She says, "Sorry, no" I was fucking pissed at this point. I gave her the what the fuck ever look. I went over to the pharmacy, and I ask the only guy left in the store if I can use his car. He says, "Sure." We start walking towards the door, and he says, "I have never used jumper cables before. I haven't even popped the hood on my car before." In my head, "Oh my fucking God! Seriously?! These California people are fucking morons." Out loud I say, "Well you are gonna love this then. Not only do I know how to pop my hood, I also know how to jump a car, how to change a tire (though I have thankfully never had to use this before, I have seen it done enough that I could figure it out in a do or die situation.), I know I can add fluids to my car (I have to put power steering fluid in almost every day. Oh how I want to get this fixed), and I can check the oil (yeah, so I have never changed it before. I would totally be more than willing to learn. Feel free to show me if you ever see me!) We get out to the cars, he luckily knows where the hood latch inside his car is, I hook the red on red the black on black (for those of you who have never jumped a car before, it is sooo easy. Just remember match the colors up on the battery to the colors on the jumper cables. Oh and do not let the jumper cables touch the ground or each other when attached to the battery. This is your car lesson with Jenn!), I have him start his car, I give it a minute and then start my car, let it run for another second, and then proceed to remove the jumper cables. Ta Da! That easy! Dennis seemed pretty pleased. He did explain to me that everyone has AAA because no one wants to stop and help. It does make me want to go ahead and suck it up just incase something does happen in the future, but seriously who the hell wants to wait for AAA when they can do something themselves in a matter of minutes?!

Here is an observation that I made recently. Please do not take this as sounding racist in anyway. I don't know why it would sound racist, but whatever just incase someone is easily offended. Whatever. I want to know where all the black people are out here! I saw 3 black people today at the 7-11, and I was shocked! I don't really realize the lack of until I actually see a black person. I see plenty of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Japanese. Where are you black people? Out of all of the stores that I have worked at out here, I can only think of one black person. Crazy!
