the broken lock
i took my car to the garage. the driver-side door won't unlock. i keep having to clamber over the gearstick. i find this to be a nuisance; and as such have taken steps to get it fixed.
i sensed the man at the garage was seething at my presence. i kept asking how much he thought it might cost, as i cannot afford an expensive repair. he evaded the question; no doubt thinking that i was trying to barter and deprive him of his earnings. now i suspect that, when i go to pick it up, i will be dragged into a grubby back-room, and beaten weak with ratchets; so that i struggle less as the mechanics excoriate my skin with wire-wool, whilst force-feeding me engine oil through a funnel. i might just leave my car there, and start taking the bus more.

Best to play it safe I think. Perhaps invest in a bicycle? Those bus drivers can be nasty.

pog - i guess that being offed at a comparatively young age by some mechanics would ultimately save me doing *any* more damage to the environment. but i'm not sure i love the world enough to make that sacrifice.
e_b - that can also be particularly nasty to cyclists.

pog - eep... what makes you think they won't ?
e_b - or just not at all. i might stay in, and ask the gecko to forrage for food instead.

Don't be silly, failure - I'm still your bodyguard, y'know. Tch. As if.

Join a monastic order. Free grub and you don't have to go out, ever. There are downsides I suspect...
