String of bad luck

2 weeks ago, my front driver side tire popped. Got the spare on, drove it to work, found a mechanic and had all 4 rubbers replaced (they were worn and cracked, it was time)

This morning, I wake up, warm up the jeep, brush all the snow off and finally sit inside to warm up. My tire pressure light is on. I get back out, circle the jeep to see my rear passenger is completely flat. I cant drive the 75 miles to work on the highway with the spare on. Still, gotta swap it out so I go in the trunk and guess what?

No spare, I guess the mechanic that swapped my rubbers held on to it.

I called in to work, now worried this may cost me my new job. Thats twice in two weeks now ive had to miss time because of car problems. Now i need to wait until the shops open, and see if I can track down a spare or just grt a two truck.

At this point I just laughed, thats all I can do.
