Forgot the car

My friend Wendy and I worked together at a hardware store and lived together in our tiny little town when we were 19/20. We went out and got wasted one night at a party and somehow made it back home. Neither of us remembered who drove us back, or where we left the car, but we had to be at work by 9am.

While I showered, Wendy called her step-dad to come pick us up and take us to work. We'd find the car later-after the hangovers wore off and we were done with work for the day.

We both got all ready for the day in our matching store shirts and heard Shawn pull up, so we went out to the driveway. And there was Wendy's car. Also in the driveway. Shawn was looking at us like we had three heads each- if we had the car, why did we need a ride?!?!? Oops.

I drove Wendy's car to work and Shawn took Wendy in his truck so that he could lecture her the whole way to the store.

Rassles, I'm wondering when the stupidity will wear off.

Philly, most of the times where I lose all memory of recent events are good indeed.

Scotty, I have had many. I got canned from the hardware store for being at least a few minutes late every day for a year and a half. That judgemental, bitchy time clock hated me.

Pffft! Details. I can't understand why some people get so upset over minor details like that.
