If anything can go well, it will.

A few weeks ago we were at Hamburger Mary's, a faaaabulous hamburger shop in downtown Orlando. They were selling these Golden Tickets to promote the opening of the Plaza Cinema Cafe, a new movie theater opening downtown. The tickets included movie, food, and a cocktail, but the best part was that they were going to show the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

Kitzzy, Tim, Chas, and I all bought tickets. Well then we got word that the theater was not yet ready and they pushed the opening date back a week. Well guess what: Willy Wonka wasn't available the following week. Bah! At least they were showing another movie I wanted to see.

So today was the only day I was going to to be able to go because I have class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I dropped the car off at the Chrysler dealership this morning because it needed a controller replaced. I got the phone call that the car was ready around 3 and they asked me if I needed a ride back to the Chrysler dealership. I had to work on some stuff, so I said no and I was going to catch a ride with a friend of mine.

Well she ended up getting caught up in some work so we ended up leaving kinda late. Still, not a problem, the movie didn't start till 7 and it was only 6. I get to the Chrysler dealership, pay, and they bring around the car. The dashboard of the car has every warning light turned on, the tacometer, speedometer, and gas gauge all read 0. To put it shortly, it was worse than when I brought it in. Fail Chrysler, once again. I'll save the Chrysler rant for another post.

So at this point it's already 6:45 and the Chrysler guy is giving me a ride home. I've pretty much given up on seeing the movie and now feel like I've wasted $15 on this ticket. Kitzzy needs the car tomorrow and it's just up in the air what's going on.

I know there's a bright side of this story, hence the title, I'm just hoping for sooner than later.
