…my car has been written-off. Apparently the cost of repairs would have been about $4000 and the car is insured for less than that. So the hunt for another car begins. And I really need one.
Why, you ask, would someone need a car. Isn’t it a want?
Well, no. Working in the suburbs and living in one without a railway station mean I depend on my car.
And in a month’s time, I’m starting a new position. Which would take me more than 2 hours and two buses and three trains to get to by public transport. And less than an hour by car. It’s within the same organisation but a different department at a different location and suburb. My dream department. Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I’m excited about the position but will really, really need a car by then. And when I’m wrapping up at my current place in order to get all my stuff out.
So yes, the hunt now begins for the car. Wish me luck.
Until next time,
Cheers!!!

His words – ‘It was like not having legs man!’ 😀
Good luck!

17 August 2010 at 9:00 amYou’re kidding! Well, like your colleague said…it does feel like not having legs. Or having someone else control your legs… 😛 I hope I can find a car as quickly this weekend!

19 August 2010 at 9:16 amI hope so too Mags! Fingers crossed. I love Toyotas but at this stage I’m not too fussed…whatever hatchback fits my budget and runs well will be bought! That may be a Toyota or a Holden or a Ford.
