Went after work this morning to look at cars. I bought one. The CL option doesn't work so well here, so now I have a car payment. It's not high. $180 a month.
I hope to hell I don't regret this. It sometimes seems like having a car payment is a jinx on me. Let me hope I have outlived that curse.
In any case, it's a decent car. Hyundai Elantra, 2005. AC works. Has good gas mileage. Looks nice.
One would think the car buying process would have streamlined in the past 25 years. Not so much. I was sitting there for hours. Got there when they first opened at 8:30 and did not walk out until nearly noon.
Crappy night at work. Had someone with a head injury. Only order the doctor gave was for a neck xray because the guy was complaining of neck pain. He was hit on the head with an industrial can opener. I guess they're going to wait until he becomes comatose or has seizures.
I got pissed when one of the other nurses rewrote my charting, downplaying the severity of the injury. Then the doctor did not arrive for almost 2 hours. Of course the charge nurse did not want to be bothered with calling him.
Going to call tomorrow morning and see about orienting at other facilities. That was a major reason for getting another vehicle. Since I was getting nervous about the timing belt on the van. Now I have the ability to drive further, burn less gas and have AC. And less likely to break down. Of course, no guarantees but chances are good.
