Haha, the car was running for over six hours. I was diligently working my ass off, not even clued in to the fact that the car was just idling away. I didn't have a cell phone at the time, and by the time I realized my keys were locked in the car, I couldn't get back into work. Luckily, I only live about a block away from where I work, so I was able to walk home and cry to my fiance. I can't remember why we decided against AAA. No money, maybe? Yes, we're that poor. Thanks can be given to a college education for that one. Anyway, we ended up calling my parents (who live a good 45 minutes away) to come rescue me. While we were waiting for them, my fiance and I walked back to my car and had a little picnic in the rock pit that we call a parking lot behind the building. That's cute, right?!

If I had a bike, I'd ride it. However, when it's 100+ degrees outside, you just can't find the willpower to walk that block. And since I work in a restaurant, that means I'm on my feet and moving and going the whole time, usually for a good 4-6 hours. After that, I'm doing good to drag my feet to my car.
