I had my first day back in the office today, and I must tell you, I liked it. A whole lot. I didn't want to leave. Of course I wanted to come home to my smalls, but my time there seemed to go so fast, I am looking forward to next week back in the office.
One thing that came out of my day in the office was that I am 'a very good driver'. High five myself in the mirror!
This came about because I managed to manouevre our car into a particularly tight spot in the heart of tight spots, Surry Hills.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if they make an Australian version of Top Gear, I WANT IN! I'd like to drive a Lotus and say it corners like it's on rails. I love those driving adventures they embark on.
And here's the clincher:
I always drive around on empty for as long as I can. I love the adrenaline this creates in my mundane life. I mean people, how crazy can you get, I drive my car around when the empty light is on for as long as I can! I drive it. For as long as I can. I'll say it again slowly. I drive. My car. Around. When the empty light. Is on. For as long. As I can.
High five myself in the mirror!
If that's not a clincher I don't know what is. I could be the new Stig.
You hear that TV producers? I am ready and waiting.

Oh you are bold! As soon as the empty light comes on I am at the station refilling. Sometimes even before the light comes on.
You are truly an adrenaline junkie!
Glad you had a good day at the office. Did you get to wear heels? Lunch at Bills?
oh Bills be still my beating heart. Ricotta Hotcakes with Honeycomb butter hmmmmm yum ....about 6 years ago and I am still salivating
Congrats for getting a park in SH nigh impossible
Did you know they did make a Top Gear Australia but I'm pretty sure it got the axe after 2 seasons? Daddy BuBbles even went to the filming of an episode once...

OMG! Lady, you are hard core to the power of diamond hard.
I love living in Surry Hills. I HATE parking in Surry Hills! You are a driving Wizard!
*s*
ha ha, I do exactly the same thing driving my car on empty for as long as possible... but usually because I feel like I don't have time to stop for petrol. Your excuse is exciting, mine is sad.
Ah-ha! I had my suspicions ...
oh wow the real world, say hi from me! SH sounds like fun kawa was my fav hangout when we were sydneysiders a while back. now this driving business is a little mental and makes me wonder if your mum also needed a copy of 'the spiritd child' at some point? xx
I loathe to the power of loathe filling up and drive around with the light on for as long as I can stretching out every last fume till my husband gets in on the weekend so that he can fill it up. It is a rush though and I date say my luck will run out soon.
Yah to parking and a day in the real world. I take it you got a babysitter then.
Kudos to you, daredevil!
Hehe!! High five from interstate!
xo
ps do you watch Scrubs? Just if you doo.... driving on empty High FIve!
Woohoo! Livin' on the edge.
We do that too but have recently RUN OUT OF PETROL twice A LONG WAY FROM THE SERVO and worst of all WITHOUT AN NRMA MEMBERSHIP. I think I am cured of seeking that particular high. Now I'm all about reverse parallel parking in ONE MOVE. Yeah baby!
Rob loves to do this too. I hate it. The worst time was when we were in Auckland and he was playing the empty light game in a traffic jam, we didn't even know where the next servo was and I was busting to visit the little girls room! We did get there, BUT he won't try it again when I have a full bladder!
I'm with you on the driving with the empty light on, sometimes for days. I also pride myself on parking in the smallest spot possible. If there are 2 spots to pick from I will always pick the tightest. Gotta get your thrills where you can I say!
