Crystal's first blog post

I had just clocked out for my lunch break at work, heated up my food (Lean Cuisine, my lifesaver during the dieting years), and settled into my chair to work on the About Me's on our site, which you'll notice contain some very outdated information yet. I'm still Crystal Keller. Anyways, just at that moment, my cell phone vibrates. Glancing at the screen, I know something is up as it reads "Jason." He almost never calls me, not while he knows I am at work that is. My workplace has a very strict cell phone policy, which I am sure you'll hear about in a blog at some point. I head out to the commons area to answer it, and Jason's first line is, "So I have a story for you." I know this cannot be good. Jason is scheduled to be back to work in about a half hour. He would have waited for story time by email if it weren't urgent.

And so my gut-feeling was right. While on his lunch break, he went to Cashwise Video, the home of his second job, to pick up his paycheck and go cash it (why he doesn't have direct deposit yet is beyond me). During his shortcut through the Wal-Mart parking lot, he decided to drive his car over some metal object that impaled one of his back tires. Now, I will admit. We have been procrastinating, and those back tires have been about like driving on thin paper, but he could have just said, "honey, its time for new back tires."

But no. Instead, he chooses to wait until a Friday to take out one. The same Friday he forgets his cell phone at home on the charger. Since he is talking to me from his cell, I am just slightly puzzled. Then, I get the rest of the story. He has borrowed his co-workers car to make the trek home to get his phone. Now, you're thinking, why on earth didn't he just change the tire? Well, I learned a few weeks after Jason and I started dating (has it really been almost six years!), Jason doesn't know how to change a tire. You would think with today's latest blow out being number four that he would have learned by now, but no. And yes, it is technically my fault since I always just change the tire. However, I take pride in this as I did one better. I instead put Mr. Rescue on his cell phone. His Dodge Avenger has low profile tires, and I for one am not fond of changing them. When I added this feature, I told him to make sure he ALWAYS has his phone on him as the phone is needed to use this service... I guess I can't win them all, but at least I am not leaving work to go change a tire. Instead, I'll sit here awaiting his return and probably be subjected a lot of b*tching tonight about how long it took. I'm banking on supper as penance.
