the alleged note...

well its friday again, and you know what that means... my day off. well apart from last week the fact i don't have to work till 4pm makes it as close to a day off as i've had lately. and once again i fought and lost the battle to gain access to the car. THIS TIME... mum didn't see the rather large and quite clearly written note i left ON TOP of her hand bag (just so she couldn't possibly miss it). some may recall a post i dedicated to the stupid gene in our family. well my friends, this gene once again came into play today and incidentally got in my way and ruined all my plans. i had shopping to do for my trip and also for a BBQ i have planned for tomorrow night (you're all invited if you can find my house), was planning to see a movie, go to the bank... anything that didn't involve work or being in my house. i was going to get things done so i could relax but no, i got up this morning and there was no car. i could see my note (now on the floor) but no reply (unusual) the astra (car i'm not aloud to drive) was still in the garage (tempted to take it) something was awry(what the?). i rang mum at work and alas, those dreaded words were uttered "what note"...

{me} "there was a note, a bloody note!"
{mum} "well i didn't see a note"
{me} "the note was stuck on your bag! how could you not see the note?"
{mum} "if there was a note i would have seen it"
{me} "I"M LOOKING AT IT!!!"
- deep breath-
{me} "regardless, i wrote the note only as a precaution. its friday, i always want the car on friday... why is there no car when its friday?!?"
{mum} "well you need to remind me"
{me} *frustrated and through gritted teeth* "that's why i left a note"

a few hours later mum comes home just as i'm about to leave for work

{mum} oh look here's your note!
{me} *thinking* AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{me} *saying* yes mum, i'm painfully aware of the note.
