And so it continues…
Right now is a real down point. It was all going so well that I should have known that something would have to go wrong at some point, but did it really have to happen right now. So after the car crash which I was involved in the other day, I have been on the phone almost non-stop. In fact it has been so bad that I almost feel like a telephone sales person!! I know for sure that I could give the script that many of the companies have to sell you any and all of their products.
Anyway, I have been on the phone to my insurance company, the other persons insurance company, at least three different lawyers (ifs there’s a blame, there’s a claim, told you I could work for them!!) and also the car rental company non stop.
Everything seemed to going well, the other lady assumed responsibility (apparently her foot slipped off the break and hit the accelerator… hmmm) and they had sorted out a rental taxi until I have my car fixed. The car will take about a week to fix, or so I am told. It needs two new doors, the rear wheel arch replaced, a new rear wheel and the strip under the doors needs to be replaced also. Plus on top of that, it needs a paint job to make sure it looks natural.
So, I digress, the rental car was due to arrive today and it did right on time. The only problem was that the 2-way radio was not there, just some (and more importantly the wrong ones) wires and also the meter was set to the wrong tariff. So yet again it was back to the phone to try and sort it out which took another day of my life away! We should be able to sort it all out tomorrow, if only we could tell the electricity or gas company that one!
Well thats it for now, next time if I am still of the road I might start up a fund where all the people of the world can send me some money… but I think there are several “organizations” that have already got that one covered, but I will complain about that another day… for now I will keep smiling and carry on as close to normality as possible.
