Stuck in the mud
One sunny afternoon, two of the Network Performance Team members went out for a site visit. It started as a check for possible radar locations but ended up as something more than what they expected.
After pulling over on the grass area on the Redoubt Rd off ramp southbound, we immediately found ourselves in DEEP trouble - LITERALLY! Although, we had a 4WD UTE which was just out of garage from servicing on that day, it was really stuck! He tried all sort of tricks - 2H, 4H, 2L and 4L (which I had no idea what they were). He moved the UTE backwards and forwards but only succeeded in creating a BIG mess. In order to keep our pride and dignity, we still believed until this day that the only reason we called for assistance in the end was to test out the efficiency of AMA incident response time. Unfortunately, our first choice was not handy (was in North Shore area at the time), so we found our knight in shining armour, N, who attended the rescue site promptly after receiving the call and pulled out the poor muddy UTE and occupants!
Thank you, N and well done for the 15 minutes response time!

Within a month, I again got stuck in the mud at friends' place. This time, no knight in shining armour, so we called AA :p
