The Road Trip ...

What can I say? Mondays are evil and should be banished to eternal damnation for all eternity. I swear Monday's just come snickering around waiting to pounce on me every single darn week! Please, bear with me while I scream my lungs out here in the blogsphere:

'ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

There, that felt much better. Not that it's going to improve my mood for today one bit, but it felt better! And part of the culprit for ruining my Monday, in fact my whole week even is my wonderful car! Yes, that bum again. My car is a guy so I can call him a bum!

It's started giving me it's usual mechanical headaches again. You know, sometimes I don't know whether that car hates me or likes me? I can't really tell the difference anymore. For one thing, he tends to run just fine when I'm short of cash, but the moment I get my hands on some extra cash, the bum can instantly smell it and would start acting up.

That's why I really can't tell if he likes me or not. I mean, he will almost never break down when I'm short of funds and would only act up the moment I have extra cash with me. It never fails, not ever! Now, you could read that as my car being nice and considerate to me. It doesn't want me to suffer by breaking down when I'm broke and so it waits till I have money and then it breaks down. Or you could look at it as having a dementedly mean streak and just love seeing me spend whatever extra money I have on him.

What do you think? You think my car likes me or hates me? Which is it? Come on, speak up already ... LOL! I'm confused. I'm leaning more towards the part that he hates me, he has this sick demented perversion of seeing me part with my hard earned money on him. It just can't let me spend my money on more important and practical things like a Sony PS3, an Xbox or something. What? Those are practical stuff, ok :D

Anyways, the darn demented evil thing is at the mechanics at the moment being fixed for something really expensive and I'm carless for the whole day or maybe even two. I hate not having my own transport. As silly as this may sound, I seriously have no idea how to take a taxi or even a bus over here! Yes, it's true.

Ever since the day I bought my first ever car, I've almost never taken a taxi or a bus. If I had to send my car for repairs back then, I'd always borrow a car from a friend or even the mechanic for the duration of the repairs unfortunately this time there was no spare car available. If the car isn't fixed by today, I'm going to have some major difficulties getting home. I should have brought my running shoes and just run home after work ... LOL!

I'll probably try and borrow the office van just to get home and back to work the next day seeing as how the van isn't used by anyone after office hours and is just parked here outside my office anyway. It would sure beat having to figure out how to get a taxi or even a bus ... hahaha ... I told you I was really serious when I said I didn't know how to use public transport.


Maybe after it's fixed I may take a nice sabbatical from work, grab the family and go on a road trip driving around in Germany or something, you know, maybe visit a few of the more famous cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Köln or even Munich. It sure would be a great thrill to take my junk of a car and cruise along that famous Autobahn they have. Though I doubt if they'll let a car as slow as a turtle on that high speed motorway ... hehehe ...

Well, if they don't allow me on their Autobahn's, then there's always the other federal roads like the Bundesstraßen that I could mosey along and tour the country. I'm sure they'll let me on those roads. Accommodations shouldn't be too much of a problem cos there are loads of Berlin Hotels, Köln Hotels, Frankfurt Hotels and even Munich Hotels that are conveniently located for last minute travelers by road. And I would really be tempted to actually go on a road trip if I wasn't afraid my car would fall apart on me the moment I drive out of my driveway! LOL!
