The one with the Car

[tiamatlady]

OK, so the other day I had a quasi day to myself, having a client meeting later and having my day cancelled from having to go to the Cape. Took care of some stuff, financial stuff.

Came home to get some paperwork for the bank.
Pulled into my driveway, see cute freaky boy.
Turn around in driveway to pull out in front of the house.
Cute freaky gets in big truck.
Pause at top of the driveway waiting for traffic.
Cute freaky boy hits me with big ass truck.

Grrrrr. So he was very sorry, and it was a total accident. I told him I needed to report this because I just couldn't afford it, we exchanged paperwork.
He has no damage to his truck, BTW.
He hit me in my rear passenger quarter. My light was shattered (although ironically the light works, which I discovered after I took it in to be repaired) the rear panel is cracked, and chances are it's going to be replaced. And the trunk is off kilter, hopefully can be fixed.
Saw claims guy yesterday, arranged for the body shop that's worked on my baby before to take it, arranged for a rental.
Drop off car at body shop, no insurance paperwork yet.
Get picked up by rental agency, in nice red Mitsubishi Lancer.
Go through bunch of stuff at rental place because, silly me, doesn't think she has to PAY for anything since this is an insurance thing, but they want a deposit etc (did I mention I'm so POOR at the moment *sigh*) I wanted a cheap car, they wanted to max out my daily limit on the insurance policy.

So I'm driving the Lancer. *shiver* It's too NICE and big and powerful. My mom is going to drool on it. *sigh* Oh well, it's a car, it has unlimited mileage so I can still go to NoHo tomorrow.
Bleh.
off for lunch then I MUST work, dammit. My poor client must hate me, I've cancelled on them so many times and this was sad (Sheeri, PLEASE don't make me drive in town!!!)

BTW - ManRay tonight with Bret and the gay boys, anyone want to come (I'm looking at YOU miss Tink You know you want to *gigglefit*)

So what's a cute freaky boy doing in your driveway?

We really need to catch up. :)

Not visiting me, I assure you.
he had those big, gigantor earrings, the African piercing type?
But he was cute, although he hurt my baby.
I'm trying to firm up my schedule for next week so we can have dinner one of those nights, is there any night best for you? Besides Wednesday, I know it's going to be hell day at a client, so I'm not even sure what time I'm getting away from them.
Monday or Tuesday is best, either of those good?

Monday or Tuesday look fine. Just let me know...

That's not a bad way to meet men -- at least now you know he has his own wheels in his own name.

Yes, except he is poor, thanks to numerous accidents, he was quite open about he should'learn to drive better."
And he does drive like crap, and, as far as I know, was visting one of the stupid dork guys who cannot seem to park in his correct space, or NOT freak out people at 2AM. He pulled up, parked in the wrong spot, and sat in his truck and watched me (The resident, not the hitting truck driving visitor)
Bleh, I just want my car back. *sigh*
