A Typical Tuesday?

Craig (our web bloke) tells me this is supposed to be a daily diary of the going's on at CC, so here is what happened yesterday (Tuesday). Out of the house at 5.45am as usual, fire up the current mode of transport our 13/60 Estate 'hack', and hit the road. Thought I might wash the screen as I venture out into the empty dark country roads, pump the washer and nothing, empty water bottle or blocked valve on the end of the pipe? Could be either, or the hand pump thing itself, never mind add it to the 'to do list'. The 'to do list' has now grown to a non operational speedo, a fuel gauge that lies, a heater that dosn't (heat!), and a crank on the very margin of life. It takes forever for the oil light to go out in the morning, and if you drive much above 60mph (I'm guessing here because the speedo has packed up as mentioned above)the noise of the crank growling swamps the puny output from the radio of the dulcit tones of JK and Joel (or whatever) on Radio1!
Anyway safely ensconsed in the office, and a nice brew in my mitt, I start to run the reports ready to do some purchasing, only the printer ribbon has run out, and I can't find another. Never mind I can use the puters and printers in despatch, whilst answering a few emails in the nice warm office (it's cold in despatch as the heaters aren't due to come on till 7am). A couple of quite hours later it's time to exit the office sharpish as the other workers turn up, and I'm in the way. I have marked my territory though with a couple of carefully placed coffee mugs, and a bin full of discarded reports, oh and Iv'e managed to spend X £ thousands whilst they have all been tucked up with their teddies.
I wonder over to the workshop and talk with Karl about the forthcoming day, or I talk and he cough's like a horse that smokes 60 a day (he has a cold, he dosn't smoke!).
We load up the Herald with wheels and tyres that need swapping over in Coventry whils't I do the rounds with the suppliers. It's amazing what you can get in the back of an estate, 8 wheels with tyres, 5 tyres on there own, and one other loose wheel! Drop the wheel's off at the tyre people, after having 3 of the tyre taken off, and take them and the loose wheel round to the blasters, leaving the rest to collect later. After the blasters I pop round to my mate the pattern maker to see how the alloy head patterns are doing. What a skilled chap he is, they are nearly finished and they are a thing of beauty. He tells me that if all go's to plan he should have set up the core box's by mid week next week and we should have our first casting to display at Stoneleigh.
On the way back to work I pop into our local MOT station, they managed to transpose some of the digits in the Herald's registration at the last MOT, the woman at the post office noticed this and wouldn't issue a tax disc. All sorted with one of the new style print out MOT's I pop round to the PO and get the road rent disc.
When I finally get back its mid afternoon, just time to finish off that 13/60 engine that's on a sales order before heading off home.
Dull ain't it!
