So today was the first day of my week off from the daily grind that is work, problem being that I had to work with a group of middle school kids on my first day back building bird boxes so I need to get some wood.
So after poping into work and finding out that the group would consist of 20 and not the 12 I had been told before I drive off up to B&Q to get the lengths of wood that I need. After finding what I want I go to find a bright orange person to cut it down to the correct length for me. The response I got was "nah mate, won't touch that it's less than 9" wide"
"new policy you see".... ffs, I can't be bothered with this i'll take it and sort it out later.
So I go to my car with 20 2m lengths of wood and open up my boot... to see that I hadn't taken my shelf out GREAT. so after much faffing around I manage to get the wood and my parcel shelf into my car. Excellent theres no way thats shifting.
I get as far as the mini roundabout (about 600yards) and half the wood falls off my passenger seat ontop of me.... grrrrrr. So I pull off the road and take out my parcel shelf and put it ontop of my car, prop the wood up and carry on to work.
After unloading the wood (to a first floor office via no less than 5 doors, 3 of which need a swipe key to gain access) I'm off rather annoyed at the fact that my holiday was being wasted faffing about doing work stuff.
I get home and my mum tells me she's got a doctors appointment, not wanting her to walk all the way down there in the cold I drive her down and as i'm waiting for her I think "I know i'll sort my seats/boot out after taking it all apart to get that wood in" I open the boot and think wheres my parcel shelf? Its then that I remember putting it on the roof of my car... but I don't remember taking it off again.
So the first day of my holiday has been wasted and i've lost my stinking parcel shelf x2
Hopefully having a chuckle at my stupidity will brighten up this otherwise **** of a day
*goes off to search ebay for parcel shelves*
