#991 – Crankcase
A few day jobs ago I got up bright and early for my first day of work. I drove a few hundred feet down the road when I stopped and got out to see what that weird sound was. One of my tires was completely flat. After changing the tire I had to go back inside and wash up and change my clothes. Being 45 minutes late to your first day makes a great impression.

On my first day of work I got sick and remained sick for 2 weeks, after not being sick for about 10 years. Also not a good way to start your new job. I still work there though, so I mustve done something right since then

If it takes you more than 10 minutes or you get more than your hands dirty, you ain’t doin’ it right.

And that’s coming from someone who never drove much, and has only driven once in seven years (me).

I’m guessing this week is “visits from obscure mythological creatures”.

Or car troubles. You could do months with those.
So did it explode or did the troll eat it? I’m not sure which.

@Fafnir: The lint fairy had nothing to do with cars.

Mythical creatures for the modern world week!

Sorry, Biff. I was the one who stole your front end. I’ll give it back sooner or later.

@Shorty
The ones that were too extreme for common folklore.

Once I was late for a meeting because the bus I was in crashed into a taxi at a roundabout. :S
That’s probably the weirdest cause for a delay I’ve ever experienced.

When is the visit of an internal-combustion troll NOT considered a bad omen?

Dang it… now he will have to take the rocket to work.

I would love to see how Biff explains this to his boss.

@Rex: Are we talking about the same boss who has a Gungerlock in his file cabinet?
