Well it seems things are going to become a little fraught with the car situation today.
The dealership has now had my ailing vehicle since Monday morning and at the outset envisaged that the job would be done by the end of the day. As ever with these things it was not to be. Ah well thought I, I have no pressing engagements, Tuesday will be fine.
Tuesday came and went, no prizes for guessing that the problem is more serious than first anticipated and that consequently the bill is growing to very unpleasant proportions with each passing hour. It would appear there is now a hold up in acquiring a part, goddamn, this is only a 3 year old car, should major parts not be readily available to a main dealer??
The upshot of all this, aside from imminent financial trauma, is that there is no promise of a return of my car in working order even by the close of business today. Normally not a great problem but as sods law dictates, this week I am working from Thursday through to Monday ( what? you? working a whole 5 days? I hear you say). There is no courtesy car available, there is no public transport, a taxi would cost me more than my remuneration for each day and PG needs his old bus himself.
Bloody hell.....why is life never straigh forward even in this apparently stress free backwater?

As a show of solidarity with a fellow blogger, I volunteer to not go to work until your problem is solved and. . .ow!. . .ow! Stop that!. . .(ahem)ActionWife wants me to extend my sympathy, but I still have to go to work.
I hope I got chuckle. Problems always seem to be easier for me if I can keep a smile on my face. I'll keep a good thought going for you.
