Poor Baby Car is Unwell!!
I am really tired tonight but thought I’d type up a post. I saw my boss about the pay and she contacted the dudette who sorts out our payslips etc and she confirmed it is right. Because I am casual I get paid differently to my colleagues. My colleagues all work a set number of hours, so it automatically goes in at the end of each month. Because I’m casual they need to wait for my timesheet to see what hours I’ve covered – even though I’m pretty much working fulltime and I work the same hours as my colleagues, they still gotta see my timesheet as I’m casual, so I get paid a month behind everyone else. *Sigh* I don’t know. It really confuses me. So complicated.
Anyway my car is playing up something stupid. The gears have been pretty messed up lately and I find it hard to drive. The 1st and 2nd gears keep getting jammed and won’t ‘go in’, when I think I’ve got into 1st it’s actually 3rd, when I think I’ve gone into 2nd it’s gone into 4th. The reverse isn’t working at all. I looked like a right idiot today when I got stuck in the works car park. I parked on a bit of a ‘hill’ hoping I’d roll down it backwards if I took the handbrake off but it didn’t happen – I ended up not rolling so I had to rock in my car seat trying to get it to move. Ha. I can laugh about it now but it wasn’t funny then!!
Anyway it’s no good… got it checked by the garage and it’s something wrong with the clutch I think, and it’ll cost £150 to fix by looks of. I’ll get taxi to work tomorrow and Friday, then I’m in London until Tuesday so I’ll get it fixed on Wednesday. It needs to be fixed, I can’t drive it when it’s like that.
