Monday - Fenders Get Bent
Nov. 7th, 2005 10:38 amOn the drive into work this morning, I noticed that the aerodynamics of my car seemed a little off after my fender-bender on Friday evening, probably because my hood is popped up just a tad on the driver's side.
Things always happen in clusters, and if I had been paying attention to the stars I'm sure they would have spelled out for me to just stay home on Friday. I started the day running out of gas and ended it plowing into a pickup truck. The pickup truck is fine; the guy didn't even make me exchange insurance information. He seemed more concerned that I was okay and that my car was drivable. He was so sweet and concerned when he talked to me, which make it that much funnier when another pickup driver yelled at us to get out of the road and he raised his fist and yelled over his shoulder, "GO TO HELL, ASSHOLE!"
I had looked down at the dashboard to see the time and was calculating how many "1 dollar" minutes I was going to have to shell out to the daycare for being late when I hit him. With the accident, it came to $5. The insurance deductible to get the car fixed will be $500.
I definitely should have stayed in bed on Friday.
