Car Trouble

... And of all places, it was in Toronto. I had the staff vehicle on Sunday afternoon and picked up two other coworkers at the Greyhound station. As we were leaving the area, I made the mistake of trying to go down Bay Street, while there was a Sikh festival happening. The car was inching along the road a meter every few minutes and began overheating. I pulled into Albert Street from the wrong direction - one way road - and called the CAA. They were really fast, only 15 minutes thankfully. This was 3:30 pm in the afternoon and we were suppose to be heading up to Colligwood! The three of us got towed to Bento, a 24-hour mechanic located on Dundas West. The Sikh festival disrupted traffic in other parts of the city too - considering that Sundays are pretty quiet, it was crazy. It probably took us 45 minutes to get to the mechanic in what would normally be a 15-minute drive. We waited for an hour for the mechanic to give us his verdict. Fan was not working but it was fine we left by 6:45 pm. He gave discount for CAA members so it only came out to $120 including tax for two problems - low coolant and fan. Really, I am embarrassed to say that the first problem could have been an easy fix. I still want to take a car fixing course ... Maybe later this summer? Anywhooooo we finally arrived by 9:30pm, I drove the whole way and was exhausted by the time we arrived. Week has been good. Oh, I have been chosen for community team lead when we head back to Great Whale! It's nice that people do see me as a leader at work here.
