What pissed you off today?

[Homburg]

Are you injured at all?

Fucking people! Argh. Lousy drivers just burn my toast. Look ten cars ahead, not one, and make sure you have enough room between you and the other car if you have to hammer the brakes. Too many wingnuts on the road.

Hope you're OK, H. Sorry about the mess, that bites.

Eh, my back had a bit of a twinge earlier, but nothing I am really noticing. I'll know more in the morning. It does appear that I sprained my wrist though. That's not going to be fun. It feels loose where the ulna joins the hand.

After a full day of looking at wrecked cars, at the end of the day, the worst car damage I took photos of today was my own goddamned car.

I fucking liked that car, and now it is totaled because some dude in a Cadillac couldn't stop fast enough, even though I managed to stop and not hit the car in front of me. Well, until the caddy plowed into my rear-end and shoved my car into the Dodge truck in front of me.

Let' see...

Cadillac >> Nissan econobox >> Full-size Dodge Pick-up

Can you guess which car is hurt the worst? Oddly enough, even with all the damage, my little Nissan drove off the scene under its' own steam. Admittedly, this was after quick field repairs on my part, as the caddy ripped my exhaust system out from under my car. But the cad was whacked hard enough that it got towed. They're soft in the front end, and I told the cop and the owner that the car shouldn't be driven.

That was actually the amusing part. Once the cop found out what I do for a living, he asked me if the various cars were drivable, what sort of damage we were looking at, and whether or not they were safe to drive. It was fun to do that, and gave me one helluva good impression of the officer. He even looked at me and said that I knew what I was doing, and had obviously done the safe thing in the accident, so he trusted me to drive the car home.

And there's further irony in calling people that I was planning to see tomorrow and saying that I can't make it because my car was rear-ended today and totaled. Whee.

And this is after spending almost 90 minutes sweating my balls off in a salvage yard trying to get a part to fix my now totaled car, and then ordering the part (and pre-paying) from the dealership when those 90 minutes proved futile -> 5 cars of appropriate make and year. 2 were missing the part, 1 was broken same as mine, and I managed to ruin both of the other two when bolts seized and wrung off.

What a fucking day...

Oh my! Taking lessons from me! I'm glad you're ok!

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know. (i.e. a personal vendetta against Cadillacs )

Otherwise, I hope this shows you my sympathies....

STILL BEING KEPT WAITING FOR MY GODDAMNED BIOPSY RESULTS. If they don't come through today (and I think they already would have if they were going to), that means another whole weekend to wait, at least.

Well look at it this way, when I went in for a biopsy I got a post-operative infection and ended up spending ten days in the hospital as they drained the infection. The first three days was the worst, I was in so much pain I was on a combination of drugs and floating on the ceiling. It was terrible, so if you are at home waiting, that's okay. So bellive me I'm with you okay,

I don't know how insurance and such like work over there but if it's anything like here make sure ANY injuries are seen by a doctor with a report number. When we were rear ended I got taken to hospital but Ron kept insisting he was ok and wasn't seen by anyone and in the end I was paid out more than he was because I had proof.

 

[OldGuy1026]

Good morning, right, I'm caught between two jobs, a Temp Job with a company promising full time work but offering me work at a ball park where people pay $7.50 for a beer then punk all over the washroom I have to clean.

On the other hand a crappy pizza delivery job, that pays okay, the boss is a good friend, and is now offerig me 3 days a week.

Crap! Crap! Crap! I'm going to have to work all weekend and miss target practice with the wife.

I flippin' *know* I responded to this last night!

Sorry to hear this, H! Even "minor" fender-benders can usually result in some day(s)-after pain. Be good to yourself: hot soaks when you can, ibuprofen or acetaminophen when you can't. And wrap your wrist if possible, if you insist on not having it checked out by the pros.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I feel your pain, brutha, literally!

 

[Primalex]

Oh my! Taking lessons from me!

like driving without seat belt?

 

[Homburg]

I was, however, wearing my seatbelt

Nah, the guy that rear-ended was okay, and his car is worse off from a drivability standpoint. He was standing on his brakes, and his bumper slipped under mine. Caddies are notoriously soft in the front anyway, so there's a fair amount of damage resulting in his needing a tow.

I have no personal issues with anyone. I'm just out a car, and HATING that very passionately.

Yes, they pay more if you see a doc. I'm less worried about my wrist than I am about my car. Gotta drive for work, y'know?

I was thinking about it though, and I can probably fix my car enough to make it roadworthy without spending too awful much money. It will look ugly, but it will drive. And until I hear the words "We have accepted liability," and "Coverage is good," I am going to continue to be wound up and worrying about the car situation.

Yep, been in few. This car is a magnet for rear-end hits. It's been in four that I know of, as it was hit once when my father-in-law owned in, and three times since I've had it. People won't leave the rear bumper alone.

Not too fussed about the wrist. More worried about the "loose" feeling than the pain. Pain, as I've mentioned before, doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I'm moving fine, just feel the bumps here and there, whee.

Yeah... well, macho-man, the "loose" feeling is what you should have checked out. That's not a normal thing (duh!), and for someone as into lifting, etc., as you are, it could be intensely problematic in the future if it's not checked out and fixed if needed.

Go to the freakin' doctor!

half hours and twenty minutes.

Worries me greatly

How 'bout this week?

Truck broken into ~
cell phone, purse
laptop stolen....

Ahhh....at the library again.

(Why can't people just be nice? ~ I know...STUPID question )

I'm actually thinking about it. As you can guess, that is a big deal for me. And it is the loose feeling that is pushing me to go to the doc.

S'whatcha get.

While the BI won't pay out until all Tx is complete, my own MedPay on my policy may. Gotta check on that, as I've never used it.

 

[kiten69]

I let my bf set me up on a lunch date with one of her cousins who is in town for a month or so and she thought it would be nice to have someone show him around a bit. I figured since I'm not in the market for a "man" why not he's buying anyways right? All was going good till half way through lunch he looks at me and says "by the way what color are your panties".

I didn't even finish lunch I got up and left and told him to find his own way back to his cousins house. I hope the fucker got lost!!!

[CurlyKat]

Let's see, I've been rather emotive today probably due to stress and lack of sleep, so there could be a lot of things here.

1. The fact that I feel more comfortable driving in, and know my way around a foreign country than I do my own country (with the exception of possibly College Station.... I can still find stuff there).

2. Motorcycles that completely ignore traffic rules.

3. People who know nothing about your job, or you, or anything even remotely related to either of the above, when they feel the need to tell you how it should be done.

4. The fact that the stress has gotten to me and I am a little out of control of my emotions and feel physically sick from it.

5. The fact that I'm scared about being away from the military, since it's all I've ever known.

When I left the WRAF I felt like I had lost a big chunk of family behind so yours are very normal feelings

Thanks for the understanding words. I'm not sure how well I'll be able to function without the noise of the artillary and gunnery ranges, not to mention the helicopters and tanks. Then there's the understanding, love, and support for the Army. While the system is frustrating and far from perfect, it's what I grew up with and now work with. Starting life all over again as a regular person is very, very scary.

As much as I rag on these soldiers, I'm going to miss them all.

 

[MisterSir]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Ummm...let's see...I/i am divorced, single, and gainfully employed. Oh, and to know Me is to love me!

I/i guess I/i would have to say a truly complex person. Chocolate and chili peppers, a quiet night sky suddenly pierced by the flash of lightning, the cry of a whippoorwill echoing over a still lake...

M/my confidence is usually mistaken for aggressiveness and dominance. Yes I/i am sure of M/myself, I/i know what I/i like and dislike, I/i will speak M/my mind. However, I/i am an individual that needs to feel the pleasures of both sides of the line. The men that have Dominated me are held in very high regard by me, they are true bastions of strength, determination, and unfettered eroticism.

I/i am a S/switch, I/i do lean very Dominant, but I/i know that in the human panorama, it is just a matter of one person's ceiling being another's floor.
