The Volvo is NOT Possessed!

It was 4 degrees when I ventured out this morning...coffee, and then to work. The roads to work were painfully icy and I had to go unusually slow since I'm terrified of landing in a snow bank...hence, the picture from a couple Mondays ago.
I heart my Winter Volvo...it came from Winter Volvo car dealer....how appropriate.
So, I crept down the road, watching the truck in front of my fishtail a few times. Then I go to turn and I realize my blinker doesn't work! What? Dammit. I try the right, I try the left...no go. Luckily I have my mechanic on speed dial....and when I call, he always knows it's me...I love that. Anyway, he asks me "Does your hazards work?" Ahhh, nope. We arrange that I'll be coming in today to see what's the problem is. Great. Just what I need, I never get out of that place under $400...it's like a rule or something. I'm positive that this car is somehow possessed by the previous owner.

I get to work and settle in. My desk faces a window and I can see my car from there. I'm working away, checking emails, when something outside catches my eye. At that same time my boss calls down and asks "Ahhh, do you know that your car's hazard lights are on?" Well, no....I didn't really know that. But, yeh....they do work. So, I run out and try the blinkers and they work as well.

Ahhh...all is right in the World. If I DO end up in the snow bank on my way home...I will be able to use my hazards. Yippeee.
