There was nothing funny about this and that certainly wasn't the only
exit/entrance. I was sleep deprived, ****ed off and in a whole lot of pain.
So when I found someone who would come out and fix the problem almost right
away, I went with it. I wasn't about to wait here all day in the hopes that
someone might show up. As has been the case with previous repair people.
I'm not your girlfriend nor would I be. You do what you want to do and I'll
do what I want to do. K?
