Late for work....

Yesterday was a weird day.......the car that was supposed to take us to work, just wouldn't start!!! i don't know if i should call that car a piece of junk.....we've been having problems getting it started for weeks now every morning....spending minutes trying to have it running.....and when it does start, the driver would just hit on the gass pedal, and not on the clutch.....result?.....loud noise!!! only loud noise!!!! this car has probably replaced most of our neighbor's morning alarms!!! yes, the driver passed the driving test just two months ago......so you guys can imagine just how frightning it can be .....especially when sitting in front!!!!
Even my superviser at work noticed my concerned , he said that my face looked pale from fright ever since i came to work with that car..... and he's right, coming to work with that car is a survival test in its own.....

So why can't i use other means of transportation?? ......hmmm......i don't know with you guys, but taking three trains to work every morning is not what i call an ideal way to go to work....especially if that journey takes something like 1 hour and a half ....by car it's only 30 minutes (give or take....due to morining traffic)

So coming back to my story...i had to take the train yesterday...and since the train time table changes after 08:00 am, i ended up finding my office at around 10:00 am and not 08:30 as expected......the funny thing, the driver did manage to get to work before me, yes, using that same car.....the battery were eventually replaced with a new one!!!!! ahhhhhh talk about frustration!!!!!!!

Quote of the day:

" When your neighbor's horse falls into a pit, you should not rejoice at it, for your own child may fall into it too."
