You wouldn’t believe the night I had last night. I left work about 1900, because I had to go early to pick up a monitor that I had bought on ebay for €5. Google maps said the town was about 40km away so I didn’t think it was so far to get a nice CRT. Mickey drove me, he was happy to have an excuse to leave work early too. So firstly, we miss a few turns with the GPS, taking us a few kms out of the way. Then the GPS shows us to go through a road that was blocked because of construction, and we went even further out of the way in order to bypass it. It was very dark and we were basically in the middle of nowhere. The roads were very dark and the speed limit was 100km… insanity. We were driving about 70 and all of a sudden this blind corner comes out of nowhere and we almost slid off the road OMG! But it wasn’t slippery so it was fine, DONT WORRY!

We then went down a hill and at the bottom of the hill there was a speeding camera and we got a speeding ticket!! We were going about 60km when the speed limit was 50. Then there was a bottle of water on the floor and it had leaked and spilled all over my bag and my bag was ruined. hahahha, the night couldn’t have got any worse?

We found the guys house and got the monitor, it was a nice one and I was really happy. So we put it in the back and started to drive back. The roads were very dark and winding and Mickey had not belted in the monitor so we decided to pull over to belt it in. When we pulled over, Mike went to turn on the emergency blinkers so that cars could see that we were stopped (they dont have streetlights in Germany basically).

THEN the button for the emergency lights BROKE and got sucked into the dashboard, stuck on!! We were supposed to also go and pick up a wardrobe but it was already 2100 and it was late so I had to call the guy and cancel, while we stayed in the cold trying to fish out the switch, but it had fallen really deep down into the dashboard. So then we tried to find which fuse to disconnect to turn them off. If we disconnected the fuse, we would not have lights or blinkers so we had to drive 40km back with the emergency blinkers on, HAHA!!!

So that the car wouldn’t run out of battery during the night, we disconnected the battery in order to be able to get to work in the morning and find someone who could fix the car. Luckily there was a SAAB place about 1km from my apartment and they fixed it in about 5 minutes. They didnt charge anything too!

What a hilarious evening! =)
