jobless senseless

[dreamling]

I went to the chiropractor again this morning, but my head was all full of job stuff, house stuff, husband stuff. I forgot to put on the parking brake in the Jeep.

Imagine my surprise when I was checking in with the office lady, turned around and saw my green jeep slowly starting to roll backwards into the parking lot.

I raced back out the double doors and grabbed the drivers side mirror attachment thing, trying to slow/stop the vehicle. It wasn't going too fast, but it missed the curb behind my original parking spot, and could have gone a bit of a ways!

sheesh.

Must apply for 5 jobs today, that's my goal.
No one's called me from Tuesday's job faire, except some guy who wants me to plunk down $250 to own my own biz...
No word on the job I applied for on Wednesday either...

I have nightmares about that sort of situation. I'm psychotically paranoid about my parking brake, partially because it used to be really crappy. (It would slide on any sort of hill-grade, unless you pushed it *way* up).

At least you caught your car before anything bad really happened! (And it's the sort of story you can giggle with afterwards).

Yeah, so funny, there was a car that pulled up behind my jeep as it was rolling backwards, I had to jump up and wave him past (another of the chiro clients)

Inside afterward, the guy said he would have helped, but he had thrown out his back, heh.

I got props from a guy heading into the Navy enrollement center next door too. hee.

First time I've ever had a vehicle roll away from me, but then, I only learned how to drive stick last year about this time.

It wasn't much of a slope either, but my Jeep was ready to go! heh
