i have gas... or do i?

so i made it all the way to age 29 without having run my vehicle out of gas.

yesterday, a series of events resulted in my driving all the way to the "agency" without stopping for gas. in my defense, the "driver information center" said i could drive another 47 miles on what i had left in my tank when i left the house, and it's about 30 miles to the "agency". but to my truck's defense, i thought it was about the same distance from my house to the "agency", as it is from my house to my office (about 20 miles). again, to my defense, 20 miles and 30 miles feel the same when you're a commuter. (so... 2 for me, 1 for truck... but i still lost?) i drove all the way up (7 levels) to the roof of the parking garage because i didn't have time to scope out a good parking space (for which i'm sure you and i have different definitions). i parked. i went to the training class. i got in my truck to leave and i get chug chuggle spit spat pleh and it died.

oops.

so i called hubby...
me: please don't be mad
[short pause]
him: ooookay
me: i ran out of gas
him: [sigh]
me: i'm really sorry
him: no it's okay
me: but i'm still really sorry
him: don't worry about it, i'll be there in a little while
[a couple of other comments between us]
me: k, thanks.

so it takes him forever because i've managed to need him when i'm in the middle of the galleria area at the top of a parking garage at the beginning of the lunch hour. it was chaos.

so i shmoozled him into getting some lunch with me... you know, since he was already there. :) i'm bummed because i ran out of gas... never done that before... i mean, my daddy raised me better than that! hubby seemed a little more chipper than i would've anticipated, considering he just spent about half his day dealing with my shortcomings...
me: you're being surpringly good-humored about all of this
him: nah, i'm just relieved
me: ???
him: when you called and said "please don't be mad" i thought you wrecked the truck
me: oh.

retro me...
