a day with the mexicans [living]
i went with twiddle thumbs today to go over to her family's place and fix up the car. she wanted me to go with her so she wouldn't be as bored and i wanted to see why it takes so long to do things, why she always comes back so late. now i see why it takes so long. people just don't do things on time. we went to her uncle mechanic and he wasn't there. we waited but he never showed up. this is the second time. then we went to have lunch. after eating we went to change all the tires. we never left the place. we sat in the lobby. i knew it would take forever but they swore it would only be about an hour. an hour came and went. eventually twiddle thumbs's dad asked about the car. it was done. they never said anything--assholes! with new tires we went back to the uncle mechanic. finally he was there. went over the car. forever... everything seems ok except maybe do a little something here and there (like fix the air conditioner!!!) so that's good news.
