Mechanic Stress

 

I’ve been having these dreams again and again, every night for the last two weeks. You see, there’s a big rush across Toowoomba at the moment to get car repairs and or a car service. There’s a shortage of mechanics in the Toowoomba area at the moment and a really big need to get a service. You see, everyone has to get their car serviced or repaired before a particular date or their cars will be taken from them. If you haven’t had modifications/upgrades done to your car

in time, then you won’t be able to do what other people can do. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s how life is at the moment.

Anyway, back to my dreams. Every night I’ve dreamt that I was THAT close to getting my car serviced and then not being able to. In my dream, I’ll arrive at the mechanic just as it closes, and be told to get to the next mechanic before it closes. I usually have ten minutes to get to the appointment and by the time I make it to the next mechanic, the same thing happens. It’s funny how good our subconscious is at recognising the things in our lives that are stressing us out. I’m very stressed about it, if you can’t already tell.

I just need to get my logbook service. Toowoomba mechanics always talk about the importance of keeping our logbooks up to date and now my car is due for one. I never would have thought that it would be so hard to get an appointment. If I knew, I would have booked an appointment a year in advance. 

I think it’s ridiculous that we have to wait this long and then get told we have to do something but can’t book in to be able to do it. How does that make any sense? Such an injustice.
