So, I came into work tonight to finish up some stuff for this morning meeting I have. The cleaning lady about 30 mninutes ago came and told me my headlights were on. FML. So, I go down and yeah...the lights are barely on. There's absolutely no way its going to crank. I try to jump it, but to no avail. [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] [expletive]. Guess I'll get a cab ride home or just hoof it the 3 miles. Probably the later.

Last fall for the first time in my life I changed my car battery before an emergency required me to. I might do that again, that was a pretty good idea I had.

I did the same thing this winter. My car was slow to crank two different times. Took it in and they tested it, said it's starting to get low. I changed it. Didn't want to get stuck somewhere in the middle of winter.

I didn't even have that warning. I just figured based on age it might be a good idea. I went to a store who sold batteries to have it tested and surprise surprise they said it was getting low and I should buy another battery from them. So I did.
