Today has fucking sucked so far.
A fault in an email I tried to print meant that 175 pieces of paper got wasted.
I was asked to drop a colleague off at a meeting in the company car. I dropped him off in the valley all well and good and then I realised I was completely lost and there was no refidex in the car. I drove around a bit finding it difficult to adjust to everything being opposite because it is a European make. I looked at the fuel gage and freaked out because I thought it was on empty.
I had absolutely no idea where I was. I was trying to navigate to a petrol station but there aren't any in the city. Upon realising that I had taken a wrong turn I turned into a street behind a truck so that I could find somewhere to turn around. There cars parked on either side of the street and the lane in the middle, although was a two street was only room for one car to get through. The road was also quite steep.
Probably about 10 meters into going up this hill with a car behind me the truck in front stops. All of a sudden starts reversing down the middle of the street. I knew he couldn't see me and I started beeping and trying to reverse but there was a car behind me. I could hear these people screaming HOLY CRAP! as the truck kind of failed or he chose to completely ignore the beeps and came rolling back on top of the car, I threw it into reverse as did the car behind me upon realising what had happened and reversed onto a MAIN road in the middle of the city across 3 lanes of traffic.
The truck then proceeded to attempt a 3 point turn, and managed to wedge himself across the tiny fucking road. The side of the truck read "RENT A TRUCK".
So All these cars are beeping at me and this other car that were reversing across a main road at 10 o'clock on a Friday morning whilst this fucking truck is wedged across the road in front.
I managed to drive forward and pull over after a while. I was fucking shaking like hell. I called work and explained why I was already half an hour late. So I drive past the hospital to a petrol station and pull up and try filling up the car.
I pressed the pump and it started convulsing and not working. There were lines out the door for the petrol station, so I run inside where there is one person waiting and anxiously wait my turn in the queue to ask for some help with the pump. A women comes out and cannot get the pump to work, and her colleagues were ignoring her. So she leaves and walks back and comes back out again and confirms that the pump is not working. So I was boxed in and had to wait for 2 cars to leave before I could go anywhere. I get to the pump and it only puts in like 5 dollars before it turned itself off. I was like WHAT THE FUCK.... and then I realised... because its European and every things backwards.... the fuel gage was too... It was full not fucking empty.
So I work on Eagle street, and... I was in the valley.... and somehow I got lost AGAIN and ended up on the story fucking bridge.
So I finally got back to work and couldn't find the fucking car space. someone had to come down and show me where to fucking park the motherfucking fuck car.
to get to the valley and back it took me an hour and forty minutes.
The office car was meant to have been used twice in that time, so two people had to get cabs.
