Jag Christening and Dirty Dilbert Ok, we all I knew I was due for it sometime... the Jag is now christened... yuppers, I hit somebody. honestly my fault. moving too. (usually I only hit parked shit) she was nice about the matter and let me pay her deductible instead of calling the police. so I gave her $250 and we settled the matter. very little damage was done but she claimed i ran the red (I was trying to get into a lane that wasn't there and then trying to get to the next light where the left turn lane WAS) so I was super thankful that she decided to take pity on my hyterical business suited self, though I will admit with two women dressed in business attaire, I was very passable and I think that helped. I had to follow her to the bank and got very nuts and lost on my way back and cursed myself all day for getting off the freeway and even trying to work the cloverleaf, which is why I was in that intersection in the first place...grr... so I spent my suit budget on that matter. the jag and her car are basically fine. the bumper on the jag is a little indented but nothing you can see and she busted her headlight glass and got some black scratches on the front of her car. I probably paid her more than it was worth, but it was better than getting written up on the matter. I was nuts going home and got terribly lost and almost broke down and cried. I got over it but I felt horrible for hours because I have never caused an accident and I seriously thought my driving didn't suck. dan claims I just got lost and flustered and wasn't thinking. I handled the situation well, so it's not a huge loss and I should focus on that. anyway, I got to drive out to the eye doctor today and I might have a british girl coming to visit over the summer. could be fun, but won't count on that. I did get the job though and I am starting monday. I have no idea how I am going to survive the freeway drive though. I did well going out there, except for cutting someone off, but coming back at 10mph was making me nuts, hence the idea that led to the accident. So, going to have to get used to stop and go traffic...grr...stupid lousy state. oh and you know you're in michigan when you leave a car length of space between you and the next vehicle and someone always has to cut in there. here's some dirty dilbertI borrowed from nakednerd. For those of you using my umich addy it may be dead in a few days. you should email me there and get my yahoo addy, which I doubt I will kill off soon. Daphne |
