senorita crankypants

Can we just write off today? It sucks.

Perhaps the first indicator that today was going to take a turn for the worse was when I went to the most overpriced, ineffective car wash in Perth.

Now I'm one of those people who goes to the DIY carwash - it was the only option in Orange. But it turns out it's a really good option, when it's not a rip-off.

I put in some gold coins and it gave me ooh I reckon 2mins 30 secs. That gets you a quick rinse with a half-arse high pressure hose and half your car done with the foaming brush.

I had to keep feeding the stupid machine with $2 coins to get the foam off my car.

So my car is still grotty and still needs a wash. And $10 poorer.

Then the gym. Oh yes, I loooooove to punish myself.

Somewhere between arriving at the gym and leaving the gym, my phone disappeared.

Disappeared, assumed stolen. We tried calling it, it rang the first time and went to voicemail the next.

Checked back at the gym. No sign of the phone.

Some people are lame. Life isn't finder's keepers - grow some honesty.

Luckily the poor sucker won't be able to use my phone, I got the handset locked.

Tomorrow it's a trip to the cop shop to fill out a report so I can claim a new equal-value phone on insurance.

But for now, I've got a new SIM card and a very cheap phone.

But on the bright side, it appears I'll get $950 from young Kev that will go straight on my car loan. Classy.

I hear you lady. About 3 months ago, my phone was stolen from work, because we worked in a very inconvenient stall, not wall store, and somebody just reached over and grabbed it. Losers.
