cold car

this morning was a cold ride in to work. i was running around shopping last night, and had my drivers side window down about an half inch. this morning, i got out to highway 70 and my car was reading 18 degrees, so i went to roll the window up, there was a big pop noise from the guts of the drivers side door, and no window movement. so then, brianiac engineer that i am... decide i'll try rolling it down a bit, and then all the way up. so now, it's down an inch and a half, and won't roll up... i'm still not out of st. charles, mind you... so, it was a cold ride in to work today. after i parked in the garage downtown, i was able to pull up on the glass and roll the window up, so at least the car was locked. the window has just jumped off it's track, the motor is still moving the linkage, the glass is just not attached. so i won't be able to fix it until this weekend, so i'm going to be one of those idiots that has to open my door to swipe the card reader, or go to the drive up atm... oh joy!

Ha! I would say that was a "Blonde Moment", dear.

Then after the cold ride, you had to walk all those blocks to your building. That is a shitty concept.
