Barely made the...
...’painting’ for today...
Having a wee bit of a stressful time...on the Stress-O-Meter I would say I have shot over 1,000%...
Had to sort some appointments early this morning, so had to drive to locations. When I told my friend (who I met up with later), about the the last one she nearly collapsed with laughter...
So, this one was making appointment for my car service...
Me: I need to make appointment for my car service
Receptionist: Car Number please
Me: (Gives a car number)
Receptionist: Not on our computer
Me: Oh well it’s (gives car number)
Receptionist: No...
Me: Oh, it’s this one (gives a car number)
Receptionist: (shakes head)
Me: (By this time I am going through the car numbers of everything I have owned, everything my parents have owned right back to 1950’s with ELB 493...)
Receptionist: (Looking at me compassionatly) (She pats my arm gently) There there dear, just tell me which is your car in the car park..
Me:(Looks at car park blankly. I have just recited accurate car numbers of every car I have owned, or driven, or my parents owned right back to the 1950’s, all except the one I currently own. I have the most fantastic long term memory) The brown one I say.
Receptionist: (Pats my arm again gently) Don’t worry dear, I’ll find your car she says...
(Then she comes back and enters car number on computer) Is it ...? (she says using the recognised police names for the numbers)
Me: (looks blankly at her, they don’t mean a thing to me. I remember my car number by two words which makes sense to me) so I say those two words now...
Receptionist: (looks blankly at me, her face saying she has a right one here)( she decides it is better at this point to just give me an appointment time and enters something on the computer and turns the screen to me so I can see it and I nod in agreement)
Receptionist: Do you think you will be all right now dear?
Me: (Trying to think of an answer to that one...)
Receptionist: (Doubtfully) Do you think you can find your car? Would you like me to help you?
Me:(I don’t have any words to answer that one) I just nod....
Update : its nearly 1 am and I have just realised I don’t have a brown car...it’s dark grey...I wonder whose car the receptionist has booked in for a service...
