Partners dad bought the eldest step daughter a first car - got her a VX S sedan.. I was dirty already coz don’t think an inexperienced kid should be driving that sort of car for their first.. none the less car was still purchased “from his work mate”
Had to do school drop off this morning and use the car, halfway to school 1 it shits itself (suspect alternator). So there I am parked on the side of the road at 8am with three kids.
Book taxi, drop eldest to high school, middle to primary, youngest to childcare. $60 Walk from childcare back to the car, still dead.. walk to dial a tow, book tow truck. $120 Wait 90min for tow truck, do some work, get dropped off to mechanic.
Now staring down the barrel of $600 worth of work to the **** piece of shit car I didn’t want her to have in the **** first place all coz pops is a bogan and thinks commodores are bees knees!
To add some gravy I’m now standing in the freezing cold rain waiting for a bus to take me to work so I can catch up on the mountains of urgent work I need to finish.
Absolutely filthy.
I would have had the car dropped in the guys driveway & let him deal with it
Yeah, Pops needs to clean up this mess, starting with a call to his 'work mate.'

And I thought I was having a bad day.......... That tops mine.
Send the invoices to the dad to pay.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Surely every business is introducing electronic signatures.
Oh well in 20 years writing and pens won’t be part of the school ciriculum and won’t exist. Why do you need to write in this day and age other than you like to do it. Being able to write with a pen is about as useful as being able to write in cursive.

Cant scan to email and then have them scanned back to you. It's 2020 there has to be an easier way.
All documents can be these days except one, its a document that has been challenged in court in recent years so they still haven't found a way around it so has to be signed and explained face to face (or a solicitor needs to witness it $$)
Anyway enjoyable morning, customer was impacted by the fires and we are helping him out so its worth it.
when you're lined up at servo waiting for the petrol bowser - and the person in front of you gets in the car after paying for their petrol - and then fart arses around checking their hair and face in the mirror and checking their phone, instead of starting the car and driving away.
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit
