Okay, so apparently Im not supposed to go into the school to work on this e-learning/snow day or even think about it. This morning Bobby only had a 2-hour delay, and he took my car instead of his. Unfortunately, my school keys are in my car (and his are in his, but whatev). Call the school and find out that the ever-dedicated Pam Minnick Mowrer is there and willing to let me in. Grab the spare set of keys and get in Bettina, his car. (Doesnt everyone name their cars?) I soon discover that the key will not turn the ignition. Why? No clue. Yes, I tried moving the steering wheel, but no. I call Bobby on his cell even though Im sure he probably has a class. His patient advice is to try moving the steering wheel. Lol. No problem, Ill just take Old Blue, the elderly van. But ugh, she hasnt been feeling well and shes buried in snow and unlikely to start and its ridiculously cold outside. So fine, Ill just go in this evening after Bobby comes home. Sigh. :( When manipulating the key earlier, I accidentally pressed the button that locks the door. As I try to exit the car, the door wont open. I press the button on the key. Nope. I press all the buttons (!) on the door. Nope. Windows wont open either. Starting to panic as I envision myself freezing to death in Bettina/Christine who is obviously in a snit because I tried to make her leave the garage. Press the buttons by the gear shift. Nothing. Buttons, buttons, buttons...nothing. Call Bobby again (Im sure his class didnt mind that at all.) He directs me to yet another obscure button. (Gotta love German manufacturing.) Aha! I press it, and I hear the doors unlock. Whoo-hoo! Grab the handle with gusto, but NO, still thwarted. ARRRRGGGGH, I exclaim! Bobby calmly tells me to try the handle one more time. As if responding to her beloved masters voice, Bettina/Christine deigns to release me. Guess Ill clean the house--and plot my revenge. ;)
