24 Hour Fail...



The last 24 hours has been extreme...

Up at 8am, no time for breakfast, at work by 8.30. Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, 1pm 30minute lunch, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Twisties.. Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, 5pm clock off... for me... no!! Work, Work, Work, Work, 8pm weird noises late at work, decided to head home, get in and turn on my new car (bought a new car a week ago its amazing, my lovely parents found it for me and i LOVE IT)

I hear a ticking noise....TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK...i rev the car TICKTICKTICKTICKTICK TICK TICK TICK    TICK    TICK   TICK..

Note to self, when car is making loud un-usual ticking noise... it means it is not good!!

Check the oil... oil full, call Andrew at work, responds with "Ticking bad", 8.20pm Hunger strikes my stomach, phone the Mother, responds with "Ticking bad", call NRMA, membership expired,

ME: "Can you send some one out to check if its ok and i will pay cash??"
NRMA: "NO..you must renew membership via credit card over the phone"..
ME:"But i dont have a credit card!!"
NRMA: "Debit Card?"
ME: "No... I have my partners Debit card!"
NRMA:"Okay great i will transfer you through to RACQ to renew your member ship"
'ON HOLD'
RACQ... BLA BLA BLA "Sorry, if its Andrews debit card he needs to be here to authorise usage."
ME: "But how will you even know if its Andrew??"
RACQ: "Because we will ask him"
ME: "Okay im Andrew!! :)"
RACQ: "No Emma, we can call him for you"
ME: "Okay thanks but he doesnt know i need to use his card, can you please let him know"
'ON HOLD WHILE THEY CALL ANDREW'
Hunger is striking badly!!
RACQ: "Okay Emma that is confirmed, membership renewed, now i will put you back through to NRMA as you are in NSW!"

NRMA: "60 Minute wait"
ME: :(

NRMA come, car is OKAY, cold weather may be causing oil to become gluggy and not pump the oil through the lifters, creating ticking noise, ticking noise slowly decends, safe to drive without blowing up..

Hunger unbearable, more asleep then awake, Maccas stop.. calmed by an apple pie,

10.10pm arrive home, in need of shower but there is no hot water..

Crawl into bed, stinky, tired, sick from Mcdonalds, and dreading the working day tomorrow followed by 5.5 Hour drive after work to the Gold Coast in a car that may have issues!!!

GOOD NIGHT

  1. OMG nothwistanding such a godawful day....that was HILARIOUS!!!!

    Hope tmz is better


    tip: get your oil completely drained and have the sump cleaned and then refilled. If it hasn't had an oil change in a long time it could be permanently gluggy and crappy, my sisters car did this and broke down needing fixing big time.
