$3.19

Yesterday morning I drove into work with my gas light blinking cause i was almost empty. I thought of filling up at the gas station on the corner on my way to work. However, as I passed, I saw that the price was $2.57 a gallon. A little depressed at the price, i decided, for whatever stupid reason, to not fill up and wait till after work. Bad idea. I drove home only to see that the price was now $3.19 a gallon. WHOA! nothing like a 60 cent jump in like 9 hours. So, needless to say, i was in no mood to fill up then either. By this point my gas light is shining brightly at me. This morning I go in to work and stop at a Sam's Club gas station that, for whatever reason was selling gas at $2.89. I pulled up, put the hose in and pulled the handle only for nothing to happen. I looked up and around to figure out what was happening, only to notice that all the other people there were doing exactly the same thing. The clerk came out promptly to announce that they were out of gas. Crap. I had left early in order to get gas as well as some breakfast becuase we don't have milk in the fridge at home for cereal. However, as I passed McDonnalds, the line was alot longer than my gas tank would have held out for, so i drove to the corner gas station, where I had to wait to get to a pump and filled up with $3.19 gas. The total came to just over $40. To rub salt in the wound, there was now no time to get any breakfast, so now I'm at work, hungry, and lighter in the wallet. What a day this is starting off to be.
