How To Fail A Driving Test and Still Have A Happy New Year

Fail to start the car. Twice. End of test.
Afterwards, reverse out of the car bay and into a truck that wasn't there two seconds earlier.
It's been a day of firsts: first time I've ever failed to start the ruddy car, first prang, and the first time in a long time I've questioned my ability to handle what I'm doing.
Hell of a lousy start to the new year.
Irregardless, am heading out to Northbridge tonight to celebrate. If nothing else, the damned Harmony Week ad has been handed in (for the last time), we've got more stories to shoot for Byte Me, the possibility of two entirely new series to produce, and even a possible replacement editor for Gallery Watch for me to train up. Woo-hoo!
