eah the weak little ones that you see people riding around in ankle socks form my loathing, but this thing is like the V6 of the scooter world (not quite V8!) and it's hella fun. Many things, primarily money. Normally wouldn't let it get to me but 've been sick and that brings down my defences. Got worse today when my car finance company rang and stressed me out saying they never got the payments. 'm like um yeah you did and quoted all the dates 've paid, amounts and receipt numbers. Lady on the line was pretty good, she said omg sorry the system is screwed and we fixed it all. But then it turns out that when i was changing over from the old job to 'us' they screwed up and didn't take a whole months payment back in June. So now they wanted me to pay almost $400 extra with my next wage. i'm like um no, not going to happen; i need to eat. So she called her supervisor, i offered to make up the amount by putting extra on my payments but the supervisior said no look that will cause you hardship as well and we're not going to do that. So basically i am now always a month behind. Been told just call up and authorise extra payment when you can i.e if i score some decent overtime or whatever. About as likely to happen as gold falling from the sky, but at least that is all settled. Also found out i only have 23 months left on the car, thank god!!!! Now to start thinking about if i want to pay out the final amount at the end or go for a smaller 2nd hand more fuel economically vehicle. More than likely that is what i will end up doing, something small, cheap, little run-about. Just feels like suddenly all the stupid directly paid accounts i have have lost their minds. First the mobile, now the car. waiting for citylink, the motorbike co and i dunno, maybe mortgage account to go nuts! it's all easily sorted out but it's so stressful and frustrating, not good when you are already down.
