    been working like a dog! new work truck, and welder on it with less than 300hrs... runs great. pos battery on truck though, barely cranks

    home from work, my taco is gone, car sits in driveway.. . . battery dead in car so she took my truck.. . . whatever

    next day at work, welder will not crank. dead battery. jump it, run it, its good to go.

    get told to work out of town. leave sunday night, but work sunday. go on a trip to walmart in the couple hours i have to get a new car battery. they need to test it. it takes 5 minutes. fuck it I say, after a half hour, "just sell me a new battery" they report back that they don't have it.

    get sent out of town. "just drive the truck till I get back and I'll put a new battery in the car." she calls me Monday mid-morning complaining that the truck battery is dead too. the fuck am I supposed to do about it! figure it out!

    assuming that at least the batteries in my direct supervision are well taken care of, I was devastated to find that my welder's battery is completely fucked. try and look professional jump-starting a welder off of a truck that barely starts itself with fucking welding-leads because you had to leave the jumper cables in case she wanted to run the car. I dare you

    work all week like that. on the way home, towing way too much trailer with a wrongly wired brake controller, make a phone call. rumor was that the batteries in the car and taco were able to take a charge. "babe, im gunna be home in a few hours, if you could put the car and truck on the street so I can park this dumb-ass trailer safe in the driveway, I would appreciate it."

    come home to find the taco in the driveway, and the car half-ass parked on the street. wtf!! I thought you were going to move these things!!! come to find out, the car is still dead, and the truck's battery has ruptured!

    Is god mad at me! I really get to spend my weekend off and some of the overtime money I was so proud of changing batteries!!!! tell me its the fucking weather.

    thanks for listening

    funny she wonders why I answer the phone grumpy while im at work. because I've been CONDITIONED to know that if she calls, something is fucked up.
