So I got the alternator early, but there was no way to put it in the car. I basically just waited around all day and got nothing done.
1) got alternator
2) moved a bunch of garbage to the curb including a love seat
3) made lunches for the week.
Turns out that I can't go into the office tomorrow. I'm going to get up and call all the places that I can to ask about getting the car repaired today. Otherwise, I'm either going to have to uber or walk to my radio station... Time to get an ebike.
