The one with a bad start to the week

Been some time since a crappy Monday post. A "great" way to start the week.
This morning my car couldn't start. So in my head I saw ringgit notes with wings flying away from me. First thing that came to mind was my car battery. But felt it was unlikely as its only one year and a bit since I last changed it. So I thought it was the starter. But still it was way too early to do anything since it was only 6.30am (yes, I leave my house at that time).
And so I went online and checked out the football results from last night. And Spurs LOST AGAIN. I for one wouldn't be surprised if we end up playing first division (or whatever they call it these days) football next season.
So with the mechanic open at ten, me and my dad went to pick up the mechanic as well as the new battery. So there goes my RM 250.00. And my boss still insists that I come to work. I took emergency half day and came in after lunch. I drove the car to work as the station parking would already be full.
Work was hectic and this was only half day. But the worse was yet to come. Its been raining cats and dogs lately. Every afternoon, it will pour. And when it pours in the city centre, we all know the outcome. Jams everywhere until every road in KL becomes a parking lot. So I decided to chill for teh tarik till the jam clears. Looking at the jam I know this is why I don't drive to work.
I guess this is going to be a loooooong week.
