The car's broken again. It seems to be the alternator again; the battery and engine lights are on continuously. I'm not sure how I'll get to work on Monday. This is basically insane.

I guess Teri will try to drive it into the shop on Monday. If it breaks down, we'll have to call for a tow. The one thing I'm hoping is that it doesn't cost much (if anything) to fix, and that it will finally be fixed permanently.

Oh, wait, I just noticed that I hadn't mentioned it: this is the third time since the 18th that we've had this problem. The alternator died and was replaced on the 18th; three or four days later, it died again because it turned out to be defective (and so I lost a day of work); and now, well, you know.

I'm starting to lose faith in our mechanic.
