Today I had planned to start training for a jog that I been wanting to try from my house to Wollongong. For those that don’t know where my house is, its about a 65km run in one direction so its about 130kms both ways. I calculated that if I even can make this distance it might take me 8-10hrs non-stop. I have no idea if I can even make this distance (65kms one way, sleep a night then 65kms back) but I want to try it and see. I decided that today I will try to do the same kind of distance but within the main sydney region so if i dont make it i can catch the train back or ask someone to come and get me 😛
I started packing my small backpack that I use for jogging with some water, wallet, some food, salt and a few other things. As I was checking my wallet for money I noticed that my keycard was expired and thought “crap, no money in my wallet, only credit card, might get stuck somewhere where I need cash”. I cancelled my jog and decided to instead go to my bank and get my card. I called them up and they said they had it, they were trying to call me but could not get in contact with me.
Bank closes at 11:30am on a Saturday and the time I realised my card was expired was about 9:30am. I thought “fine, no worries, I can go for a swim then make it back in time to get my card”. I head over to shelly beach to go for a swim and arrive back at home at about 10:45. Perfect ! … enough time to have quick shower and get my card (which is about a 30min drive at its worst) then I can head over to darling harbour and stay the night before going to a dive site the next day.
As I am just about to leave, I realise that the Camry I usually drive has it’s registration expire tomorrow ! This means I will be OK for today but tomorrow the car will be officially unregistered and if god forbid something happens (I get into an accident or get pulled over for an RBT) I would be absolutely rooted. Crap ! Then I thought, “thats OK, I can use the other car !” So I start the other car only to realise it can’t start. So now from my original 45mins of time , because of all the crap that has happened I only have about 25 minutes left to drive to the bank and get my new keycard. After I try to fiddle around with the other car only to fail getting it to start, I get back in the Camry realising that above all, the main thing is to get my keycard otherwise I have no cash ! I drive as fast as I can to my bank (within speed limits :P) only to have the bank shut the door on my face because im a minute late !
Crap, so I drive back, no keycard, screwed up jogging plans, car with rego about to expire & another car which I have to check and open to see why it doesn’t start. Absolute fail of a day. All because my keycard expired !
Only thing good about today is … i found out Bon Jovi will be here this Dec ! Wooohoooo, will be first to buy the tickets 😛
