Silence Not Wanted

Everyday I drive about 25 minutes each way to work. I look forward to listening to the radio, my mp3 player, or a variety of CDs that I have in the car. As I accelerate down the snowy road today. I hear no sound coming from the radio. So I check the power...it is ON, I check the volume, it is On and I even try to make it louder...no luck...no sound on anything that I try. I realize that it is NOT working. This type of silence is not welcome because.....

If I try to sing, I may drive myself crazy because I have a terrible singing voice. I really am not a big fan of talking on my cell phone while driving...plus everyone is at work.

As I drive I am fiddling with this radio trying everything to make it work...nothing. It looks like it should work because you can see all the action going on, but no sound. I get to work and sit in the parking lot reading the manual to find out what am I doing wrong, is there a mute button I missed? What? I realize if I don't get to into work, I will be late and if I am late...yikes! I am on camera and if that happens even once I am warned not to be late. Not sure what the consequence of being 1 minute late, but hear through the grapevine it is not good.

I call my hubby and ask him to call the car dealership because I may sound like a complete idiot...seriously everyone I am not an idiot, but it is not working and driving 25 minutes in silence may drive me nuts! I may start to talk to myself and people driving down the road may think I am a real nut job.
