'Member that time that they called the blizzard on the wrong weekend? I distinctly remember no blizzard last weekend and blizzard-like conditions right now.
That being said, I survived my first little fender bender unscathed. I was pulling up to the stop sign at 116th and Center (like, 1/4 mile from the apartment and mind you I work 30 miles away) and I could not stop. I know what you're supposed to do in that sort of slid-y situation, but none of it happened, because there were cars EVERYWHERE! So, I just sort of slid and hoped for the best. Like the woman turning right would finish turning and then I could just slide into the curb.
No deal. I hit her back bumper, but I kind of bounced out and half way into the intersection. I turned and pulled over and got out of the car and said, I'm sorry and we traded names and numbers, just in case. Turns out the inital hit was my TIRE on her bumper. Mostly paint damage and no big scrapes. And black and dark green paint? You can't really tell. So, I told her to give me a call if she needed, but she didn't think that she would call. I'm insured anyway, but I would probably just pay for the repairs, if they were less than the deductable, you know?
Dodged a bullet there! However, I'm not going back out all night. And the City of Wauwatosa sure needs to get off it's ass and start salting, because it's not good out there.
I'm a little cranked up right now from the minor bumper cars on the way home. I'm just glad it wasn't worse.
Anyway, happy weekend! Happy 3 day weekend! I have a job interview on Monday at US Bank in West ALlis (which would be like 3 miles from the house)...not that I WANT to go back there, but if they will pay me the same, they have good benefits and it would be close to home. So, that's why the extra day off. I know the culture there and it would be a steady job while I'm continuing school. I just hope that there is some flexibility with the schedule, because my night classes will start at 5:30 and I don't think that if I worked to 5 that I could get there in time.
Okay, I'm going to change into jeans and wait for Jakie.
