I'm working with the living dead........
Hey peeps....
Getting old. It happens to all of us, its inevitable. As time goes by we get forgetful, miserable and increasingly pissed off with the seemingly faster paced world around us. During the long journey of life we bulid up money, not knowing waht to do with it. The younger family members are set up and happy, so you have to fritter away your lifetimes earnings on something you don't need. Most old people buy a house or a time share in spain........
......the oldies in bristol however, buy Skodas.
Good for Skoda, but bad for me. You see, when there shiny new purchase goes 'POP' i'm responsible....apparently. And becuase they are old, and somewhat incohearant to the world around them, they fail to grasp the concept of "MECHANICAL THINGS GO WRONG". 'I' didn't break your head-gasket, 'I' didn't make your heater stop working, 'I' didn't tune your radio into the age bashing station, Radio 1. You did, because your old. This rant is aimed specifically at a chap i spoke to all of 15 minutes ago, he rang because we didn't tell him when his next service is due. Now, you don't need to be a mechanic for this.....His car is set to variable service intervals . This means, we can't tell him because the car will. Your following, right? He does X amount of miles and a little light goes on saying he has 1000 miles left till it needs some new oily bits. Simple, a 3 year old would get that concept. We don't tell him, it does.
Well, its not that simple for him, he spent the first ten minutes trying to tell me why it was wrong....now, last time i checked i worked for Skoda (looks around) and seemingly still do. Meaning i'm pretty clued up. But no, this fell on deaf ears. So we bantered for a while, but soon his inept ramblings drove me insane so i put him down a rung or two by going a little more technical and a lot more 'Grrrrr' which isn't usually in my nature. And it worked, he promptly apologise and hung up. Damn right, i'm here to help you out you berk, i told you your problem but because it was tricky for you it didn't go in.
Now i'm in a bad mood.
I'm going to write something with a bit more point next time, that was just a rant. Thanks for reading though.
And if your old.......i'm not sorry.
