What a week! On Thursday at COBS, I finally get my schedule for this upcoming week (our "weeks" start on THursdays), and the scheduling is looking up with us hiring on a few part-time workers. The resumes just keep coming in! (Speaking of which, I'm still at The Beach for one more week, since we are kinda short-staffed. Looks like we'll be good to go in a week, though, and then I'm onto Humbertown, but mostly while the store's closed as I'll be baking. ^^)

I picked up Christine, and being that it was a nice day out today, we decided to drive over to High Park. Yesterday I had noticed that I was low on gas, but I didn't think much of it, but I did notice the Esso station as I pulled up to the light. I asked Christine to keep an eye out for a Petro-Canada -- and just as I was passing the Esso, the car ran out of gas, stalled right out.

I used the remainder of the forward motion of the car to pull into the station, but I couldn't make it entirely to the gas pump, I had to ask a pair of guys to help push my car to the pump. Only about 10 feet.

I have to admit, I've never run out of gas in a car before, but the fact that I ran out right in front of a gas station, in the middle of downtown Toronto (where gas stations are scarce) is one heck of a coincidence.

This post has been sitting here for a couple of days. Seeing that I can't seem to improve upon it, I'll just post it. XD
