Predicament

by Matthew Bartlett @ 12:54 pm

Last month I got a ticket from the Council for having my car parked outside my house without a warrent of fitness. I haven’t yet paid that off. I got the things fixed on the car that it failed the warrant on last time. This cost $520 all up. I took the car back to the garage. Since I last went to get the warrant, the mechanics have gone on a course to make them better WOF inspectors. Hence my car failed again. This time with hundreds of dollars more work to do. This is a pity, as i was really hoping to sell it to a friend who was keen to buy it. That is a pity because i wanted to use the money to pay Massey for the summer paper i am doing. I will ring Massey after work to see if they might be gracious, but i’m afraid they won’t let me sit the exam next week Tuesday without having paid the whole bill. It will be interesting to see how this is all resolved.

Update: one of my favourite people has lent me the money for Massey, huzzah!

    speaking of bullets, I remember Chris Rock saying that the easiest way to prevent shootings would be to make every bullet cost $1000.00. ie: I’d shoot you… …if I could afford to.
