The Life and Times of Asmaa (for the past day)
Yesterday our car broke down on the highway. I think it was because it was really hot so the battery got fried.
Anyways, so there we were after Jumuah prayer, stranded on the shoulder of the highway, drinking apple juice from those boxes (don't you love those juice boxes? Reminds me of my youth >:D). We got out of the car because we were too scared someone was going to hit us from the back - and then we would likely die.
You know what was odd? People kept beeping at us when they passed. I couldn't figure out why...it's not like we were stopped on the highway to have a picnic - although that would have been nice, it was refreshingly breezy.
Long story short, our car had to get towed, it was hot, it was scary. And we had to get some thingamajig replaced. Oh well. After all, TTC is "The Better Way." Hmmmph!
I went to Scarborough for an interview today and it took 2 hours. I did get the job, but I don't know if it's worth the two hour commute.
I'm not trying to complain. Actually, I am. I'm beginning to annoy myself (i.e. "To cause slight irritation by troublesome, often repeated acts").
The End.
