Well i went in to see my supervisor today and i don't know what i was expecting. but boy, was it a grim meeting. i guess it didn't help that it was rainy and overcast and COLD.. so cold.... what happened to the 31 degrees promised by the weather report?? liar...i think i killed the car. as i was driving home tonight, my eyes suddenly alighted on the temperature gauge and noticed it was pretty high. i ended up stopping at a petrol station, only to discover that the coolant thingy for the radiator was EMPTY. I've never been one to pay attention to car troubles, so this was the first time i've ever had to deal with the car on my own, other than to drive the thing.
i ended up buying some coolant at the petrol station and was assured by the girl behind the counter that it would work. *crosses fingers* so i poured it in and merrily drove on home. only to discover ten minutes later that the temperature guage was still rising... i ended up having to stop at another petrol station, and rang a friend for help. they basically told me off on the phone. how was i supposed to know that i had to wait for the enginge to cool? if i had known that, then i would've stayed at the first petrol station - coz it was attached to a mcdonalds - which would've meant dinner (as opposed to sitting in the car in the freezing cold for 40 minutes waiting for the engine to cool at the second petrol station because there was like, NO form of entertainment or food venue whatsoever)!
so that's my mini adventure for the day. and even though i have to spend tomorrow at the mechanic and waste a day, not to mention being dragged up at the ungodly hour of 7am *gulp* (my normal waking hour these days is 11-midday), i swear for those ten precious moments after i drove away from the first petrol station i felt so proud - i was a girl, and i fixed a car problem. on my own! ha! who said all girls were useless? lol
