Christines Evil Twin!

It's only Monday and my week is already screwed! And just why is that? Well, my lovely, wonderful, nice, beautiful car decided to make me spend more money on it by giving me grief! I positively, definitely, sincerely HATE that car. I think it's sole purpose in life is to make me spend money on it every blooming month!

You know, that car has a blooming mind of it's own. When it works, it'll work fine for years with no problems. But when it decides to break down, I won't hear the end of it. I think most of you who've been reading my blog knows that my car started acting up since last December and I've practically had to baby it all through the months of December and January. It kept going in and out the mechanic shop that I thought maybe I should ask my mechanic for some shares in his company.

Well, I thought I finally had that problem sorted out but today it starts acting up again. I was on the way out for a presentation at one of my clients place and everything was fine on the way there. It was only after the presentation and on the journey back to my office that my car decides to die on me everytime I stop at the traffic lights. I don't know, maybe it's some new fangled way my car decided to save me fuel by shutting it's engine down every time I stop or something but I sure as hell wasn't too pleased with it.

So, with no choice, I nurse the car to my mechanic to get it fixed and it cost me some good money that I was not too happy to part with. Oh well, at least it's finally fixed! I wonder what it has planned next. I swear that car is out to get me. I can picture it laughing evilly away everytime I have to spend money on it. It's probably the twin of that car in Stephen Kings horror novel, Christine. I think in it's previous life it was some kind of torture device they used during the Spanish Inquisition or something. Maybe I should get a priest to exorcise the damn thing. Who knows, it just might work ... LOL!


I guess with the amount of money I spend just to keep it running, you'd think it would be better to get a new car, right? Well, I am in the midst of getting one but there some issues with it at the moment, which is another long story, and one that I'm not ready to share with the world just yet. Let's put it this way, the car has been ordered and all that but getting delivery of it is a problem which I'm trying to sort out. Hopefully I'll get that sorted out soon so I don't have to go see my mechanic every damn month!

The only good thing about this week is that I'll be off for the Chinese New Year celebrations for about a week. No, no, I don't celebrate Chinese New Year but my office management does and we close shop here from this Wednesday until next Wednesday so at least that's something to look forward to :D At least I'll get to have another nice long rest and this time I aim to be doing more with it besides sitting and blogging and also sleeping all day ... hehehe ... Of course there well be the on going assignments like this thing on angel investors that I have to complete but that shouldn't take too long. Maybe I'll go for a picnic or something. I'm sure wifey would love that, the boys too.

OK, now that I've let out some steam here about my devilishly evil car, I'm not in such a bad mood any longer. I think I'll go do some blog hopping and see whats happening in other parts of the world. I do hope you've all had a much better day than me though. See you guys in a bit.
