When it rains, it pours<\/b><\/p>\n
Actually, I think I’m in the middle of a monsoon… Denis’ uncle passed away this weekend, so we have to go down to NYC for the funeral. We also have a wedding to attend in that neck of the woods next Sunday. So, rather than going down and coming back and going there again, we’re going to spend an entire week there. This is only a problem because we have very little vacation left, and because we have a somewhat handicapped puppy who will have to stay with my parents for a week. Aside from that, my Grandpa was in the hospital this weekend, and they aren’t really sure what was wrong with him… Lots of scary stuff happening lately. <\/p>\n
And, although it’s such a silly thing, we no longer have cruise control on our Jetta! We brought it in to have the turn signals fixed (they wouldn’t work in the half-pressed position – like for merging). When I started to drive home, I look down at the turn signal arm, and lo and behold – there are no longer any buttons for cruise control! So I drove it back to the repair shop. The tech was pretty confused – he wanted to know what was wrong, so I told him the turn signals worked perfectly, but we no longer had cruise control. He said, “what’s the matter, it doesn’t work?”. I said, “well, it would probably work fine, if we still had the buttons to use it with!” They didn’t have the right part in stock. No big deal, we weren’t going down to NYC until next weekend. Oops. Murphy’s law I guess. So, they’re either going to find the part at another VW dealer or put the old one back on – today. After all, when you’re driving 300 miles, cruise control’s much more important than merging turn signals. And, in NYC, no one uses their turn signals anyway.<\/p>\n
