[quote=Anonymous]Last week on Thursday my car stopped running so I had it towed to dealer and MB volunteered to pick me up. She also volunteered to take me home and the same the next day. I told her that if it was an issue I could uber or use my PTO until the dealer gave me a loaner car. The dealer calls and says they wont have any back for a week and that they would call me as soon as they diagnose my vehicle. Mb was thinking out loud and suggested using DB's points for me to get a rental. [b]then later she said it would probably be more affordable for me to uber[/b]. I agreed.  I told her that she and db could have a free date night of sitting  to show my appreciation for giving me rides home and taking me to the grocery to stock up for the weekend.

I was so thankful that coincidentally[b] school is out this week[/b] and we only had therapy appts., [b]the family will be OOT Wednesday so I was off that day[/b] and we can walk to the park for our outings on other days. Granted none of our usual outings but we would grin and bear it.[b] Also Mb doesnt work but is looking, has no interviews scheduled until after spring break with prospects due to the holiday.

Sunday she texted to see if I wanted her to pick me up I told her no thank you Id get there. One of our therapies is on my side of town so she said afterwards she would take me home vs me riding all the way back to their home and ubering back to that side of town because therapy was over 1 hour before my finish time. Again I was grateful. [b]I thought it was also good that she would be with us at therapy since she's never been and the therapists have been pushing for her or DB to participate for the last year with oldest but they haven't wanted to.[/b]

Low and behold my uber app was freezing up and kept reloading and rides weren't being requested. I texted her early as a heads up incase I was a few minutes behind once the issue was resolved. She calls me to get update while I am speaking with them and she began saying things like [b]"Im trying to be patient with you" "Willing to be flexible to keep you with us"  "I am not able to network if I have to drive you guys to therapy appointments" " You need to call the car dealer and get an update immediately" "You may need to go rent a car"[/b]  etc. You know rocket science type stuff that never occurred to me the last couple of days :roll: I didnt realize calling a dealership would make your car automatically better even if they haven't even gotten to it yet for a diagnosis. Who knew? Not to mention she was standing right there with me at the counter when they were telling me how long it could take.

After I got my uber issue fixed I called her and told her I could meet them at therapy or the house. This happens to be a therapy for the youngest which she also has never been to. Later my oldest has swim therapy a distance away that she's never been to, she was complaining about not knowing where to take him etc. [b]I said I dont mind using her or DBs car (THE MAN IS OUT OF TOWN AND THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN THE YARD) to take the kids around if she needs to be home[/b]. she completely ignored that and told me to just meet them at the house after therapy. I have used other mbs cars or nanny cars in the past so didnt think this was irrational. They dont drive maseratis

So now on top of being super stressed over putting them out( I love them very much and feel so embarrassed for being an inconvenience), my car being out of commission I am super annoyed that she is being this way. I know Im her employee and they hired me to do a job. I completely get that. My car is practically new so mechanical issues was not foreseen at all. Neither was spending $300 on a rental that I would have to pay upfront yet I just paid my car note and rent so I dont have extra $$$ to rent a car for an entire week. Not to mention Im stressed about the repairs not being covered by my warranty and may have to pay for the repairs just to get my car back.

Am I insane for being rubbed the wrong way by her complaints about having to be at her kid's therapies while she has nothing scheduled this week and I am MORE than willing to drive their cars!? I know some are strange about that and I totally understand but its just sitting in the yard and she wants ME to be the one to take them places. So let me use your car then in stead of threatening me. Note Ive NEVER called in in the year and half that Ive worked for them only sent home early once because of a virus I got from them.[/quote]
