What's mildly amusing you today?

I am mildly amused (and also mildly irritated) by the situation with my car.

I took it in for its 200,000km service. All fluids and oils changed, plugs, filters etc etc, plus replace the water pump and the timing belt, certain other timing related thingies. This is looking at being in the $1500 range, but I knew that before I bought this car.

I took it in on Wednesday, planning to get it late Thursday.

Wednesday was one of the wettest days here in ages. The water got into the power circuits at the mechanics, and took out the power to the hoist.

The one my car was one.

While my car was six feet in the air.

And it won't come down without power.

Ah. Slight delay.

So it is now Friday and the hoist is working (as is the mechanic) but I wish my car was back already. Meh.
