Bad sign on moving day

Yeah...this day has already started on a bad foot.....

So I literally roll up to my apt. that I'm moving out of in the big U-Haul and see my friend Zach Duncan waiting for me to help move.

I get out of the truck to greet him, and close the door behind me.

Well, tried to close the door.............

*Metal Crunch Sound*......the door won't shut.

And by won't shut, I don't mean like you didn't close it all the way. It won't shut. It's not alligned properly to shut.

By five inches.

Apparently, one of the two 9-inch bolts holding the drivers door onto the freaking truck has fallen out, and the door is hanging crooked on the truck.

Zach duely notes..."Well, that doesn't look good." Captain Obvious strikes again.

So I call the rental place...and get transfered to a help line....then get transfered to a waiting line....finally transferred to Call Center Mohammad. And that may sound insensitive, but every possible stereotype played itself out.

Now, I'm waiting on some local mechanic to call ME back within the next 30 minutes (it's 10 a.m. now). He's going to call me and tell me how long it's going to take for him to come out there and tell me if he can even fix it.

He may have to take it to the U-Haul repair center...which means, I can't even begin to load all my stuff in it because they may just replace it altogether.

I am so upset right now I think I'm going to just go throw up.
