Just one of those weeks...

...my pride & joy broke down severely over the weekend, my injectors are knackered. One needs replacing immediately (£600) but the other 3 are going to follow suit in the near near future a garage I have always used & trusted tells me. RAC and Main dealer garage agrees, bill is £2110 + vat to get them all done via Independant garage. Skoda want to see the car on Thursday to decide if I am eligible for a good will gesture 9(its a common fault with this engine). At 6 years old and 92k miles im not very hopeful. Spending £100 to get the car to them with a wing & a prayer...

Missed seeing my daughter who I havn't seen in a month as a result of this, as well as needing to hire a car to get to my job & pick relatives up from the airport this friday evening.

Then a little weasel of an HR creep who I have never seen eye to eye with had the joy of telling me a job move I have been fighting for for well over 6 months wasnt happening due to business reasons and instead I am being put into a different job role... one I despise with a passion and is focused round everything I hate at work (statistics, excel sheets, no problem solving or people interaction at all). I took the feedback he gave me personally (didn't show it), when I shouldn't have, as to be fair it was all correct & deserved.

Then the project I have been spearheading for the last few months has been delayed meaning someone else will take it over and finish it off for me due to me moving job roles. I get to look on as he finishes it up, applies the final touches and delivers it to the customer.


But then I am fit, healthy, have a new lady friend who has been fantastic at keeping my spirits up. My sister walked away without a scratch after collapsing behind the wheel on the m1 in the middle of the night and hitting the central reservation at 60mph. She then had an interview at a top law firm a few days later and found out she got the job 2 days ago (a huge deal for her). Grandma's chemo is going well which is outweighs all possible problems. I now have a beer in hand and a weeks holiday round the corner!


Need to take the good times with the bad I suppose!

rant over!

Sounds like you've had a hell of a time. I'm glad things seem to be turning around though Just keep that positive attitude and you'll find that nothing can get you down.
