it's oh god o'clock

and i can't sleep
it's like 6am
and it's not even funny that i've been awake for over an hour now
i didn't get to bed until gone midnight either!

stupid

anyway, i didn't make it home yesterday afternoon, and not because i was working. i killed my car!
basically what happened was i gave someone a lift home, but when i went to pull away from her house i couldn't find first (first was picking up second, second was getting third...) i went to visit chef in the pub next door and have a drink before giving him a lift home, but when we got in the car, it wouldn't pick up anything but 4th...great! anyway we got the car moving around the carpark, but couldn't get out because it was uphill...and uphill in 4th at about 5mph just isn't going to work is it!
called out the RAC to come and look at my car (went back into the pub and had another drink too) called a garage to warn them that we'd be coming over and that i'd need a courtesy car as well.
turns out that i've sheared the link between the gear stick and the gearbox (nice work huh?)
so the car is in the garage for an indetermined length of time, but they are going to sort out a couple of other issues as well for me...
anyway we jumped into the courtesy car, and did the sensible thing (because we both had to be back at our respective pubs in about an hour) and headed to the pub for another drink :)
needless to say when i started at 6 last night, i was in a pretty good mood.
when i got my paycheck, i was in an even better one :D

here's your song for the weekend, based on the fact that i can't get no sleep, and i'm heading out tonight for a heavy drinking session...i give you insomnia by faithless (give it time to kick in though, it's a builder of a song)

enjoy peeps
and have a god weekend if i don't see you again before

auto mechanics are demons. therefore service advisors at the auto shops of any dealership are the devil. which makes all repair shops hell. ;p

have a great weekend!
