Sabrina's Adventures

Could February Please END!!!???

Today was my last day at my old job. Monday morning was going to be great with starting my new position and I was so excited!!!

I got up really early today in order to get to work by 6:30 so that I could leave at 3:00.

I left my house and proceeded to drive to Eastgate. ETA = 15 mins.

I get to work; pull in beside this very nice Chrysler 300 (one of my fav cars) and turn off the ignition. That's when it happened!!!

All of a sudden there is smoke coming out from my hood. I grabbed my purse and keys, jump out and run as far as I can from my car. I think I ran far enough away that if it exploded, I'd be safe. I call Shane and tell him my car is smoking and he thinks it could be the radiator. I stand outside about 5 mins and the smoke slowly goes down to just a minimal view of it.

I advised our guard what is going on in case someone came in saying my car was smoking. Shane was going to come look at it once he got dressed.

I went to my desk and clocked in; next thing I know someone is running to my desk saying, "Sabrina, your car is on FIRE!!!" I called 911 but someone had already called them and the fire dept. was on their way.

I quickly went outside and my car was indeed on fire. Engulfed in flames, burning and I could do nothing. I called Shane again and told him my car was on fire. He got there in about 5 mins. Luckily, none of the cars around my car was damaged. One of the cars had soot on it; but the woman seemed to think she could wash it off. Even though it wasn't my fault; I still felt bad about it.

We don't know the cause of the fire yet; however, I will meet with my insurance adjuster Monday and he will assess the damage(which it is totalled) and give me a check so I can purchase a new car. Of course, the check won't pay for the entire car..lol Below are a few pictures of my Blazer.

My February has been TERRIBLE and I just want it over.
