Ouch.

mood: sweaty!

I'm buying a tv tomorrow.

After almost 2 years (possibly longer) of no television, I am buying one. From craigslist, so you know, I'm not completely going off the deep end. :)

I decided to buy a Wii. It looks like some fun and sometimes I'm just home and I don't really have that much to do, because honestly, I don't want to vacuum. Sometimes it is a little too late to vacuum, you know, after like 9 p.m.

I'm very mentally exhausted. The heat at work isn't helping much. It was over 90 in the store today. *sigh* My make units are working harder to keep the temps down and one of them is about to break down completely. They are working on getting one from out of storage for us.

If we wind up making money in June it will be a freaking miracle. At least it got kind of busy tonight.

I'm rambling. Maybe a real post tomorrow.

mood: hot

It feels like forever since I posted here.

Almost got to fire someone, but having no proof that he smoked the weed in the walkin, I don't get to. I am ready, however, to boot his ass down to cook since he can't seem to handle his duties on a nightly basis. He's been doing this too long to have these kind of bonehead mistakes. And any time I call him on them, "Oh, I forgot." "I didn't know we were supposed to do that." "Uhhh, I know you just said what we were supposed to do, but I wasn't really listening, so can you tell me again?"

*bangs head on the oven*

Last night was like working with two zombies. Neither one of them knew what the fuck was going on. I was trying to hold it together with the help of one of the drivers who had SOME inkling as to what was going on with the orders.

Of course, I'm also hot and sticky and covered in flour and not very happy with that in general.

I heard a restaurant in town fired EVERYONE and was hiring a whole new crew. Hmmmmmmmm...

Unfortunately, with the mortgage, I'd rather not take that risk. *sigh*.

Ok, have to pretend to work right now. As much as I don't want to.

mood: hot

Ok. I need a "Hawaii Chair". I do. I think it would make working on Mondays so much more interesting than they already are. Unfortunately, I think my staff would break it in like ten minutes.

On to other things. I really should be in bed right now, I'm freaking exhausted, but I watched Igor. Very cute movie. Eddie Izzard, John Cusack (both members in my man harem), Steve Buscemi, and on and on and on.

Rachel Getting Married bored the pants off me. Seriously.

The Babysitters was pretty good, though.

Some work drama, but I'm too tired to give it the attention it deserves. Needless to say, it's very delicious! Well, for you guys it will be, anyways.

Very sad about MJ, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. I think I'm mostly sad about Ed McMahon. However, I did enjoy the full day of MJ music on one of the radio stations today. Got to hear some real old ones and you know, I rode the boogie most of the day dancing around the store. :)

So, Hawaii Chair.

I wants it.

mood: amused

I remembered some of the stuff I was going to post about.

I sent an email to Delta regarding the switching of the flight numbers on the Expedia site (please to be knowing that they didn't actually STOP doing this) and getting my seats switched, paying extra to be put on a flight that was less crowded and picking a particular seat, etc.

Their response? A $50 voucher towards a future flight. Really? I highly doubt I will ever fly Delta again since they don't seem to be making any moves towards stopping listing multiple flights which are actually the same freaking flight.

The other was that I checked my 2nd mortgage through Citi and realized that they dropped my interest rate by half. Holy crap! I says. I find a UPS letter at my front door from them. It's only until January. It's to give me time to work something out with my 1st mortgage holder. The funny thing is, my first mortgage holder actually has me at a decent rate, not a great rate, but better than Citi had me (7% on 1st, 12% on 2nd).

I may actually call my first mortgage holder and see if they'll drop my rate a percent or two since I've been paying on time for 3 years, etc. I don't qualify for any of the government assistance programs because I'm current and my payments are less than 30% of my monthly income. Sorry I made a responsible purchase, I didn't realize that was a bad thing to try to handle my shit properly.

I started using Mint.com to keep track of my spending and what not. I've already stopped going to the RG as much, seeing as I was spending A LOT of money there that I don't really have. My goal is to save as much money from each paycheck as absolutely possible and pay down the debt as fast as I can. I'd like to make 2-4 extra payments a year on my CC debt through the consolidator. If I can do a large quarterly payment, that would be pretty awesome. I'd also like to see if I could get a discount if I pay my auto/condo insurance every 6 months, instead of a monthly bill. That would be pretty awesome. Just put the money in the savings account every month instead of paying the bill, then earn some interest on that money instead of it just going right out to the insurance company.

I traded my old dining room table for a recliner and stereo for the bedroom. Good trade, I think. :)

I think the pink couch is going to go on Craigslist on the free section. The cats did their best to destroy it. They did a pretty good job on it. It'd be a good porch couch, or art project. Otherwise, I have to wait until 8/31 for brush and bulky day for my part of town. I'd like to get rid of it before then. OR, I could trade a pizza to someone to take it to the dump for me. Who wouldn't like a free pizza? I guess people who don't like pizza.

I guess there isn't much more to say right now. ok, gonna go and figure out if I really want to do laundry today or wednesday.

mood: procrastinator

I kept meaning to post something today, but every time I went to sit down in the office, something would come up.

Now...I can't remember what the hell I wanted to post about.

*sigh*

My crossword puzzle shoes are pretty sweet though.

Thought I would share that.

Ok. Maybe I'll remember tomorrow. Time for passing out.

mood: exhausted

That's the number of miles I drove from Florida to Tucson. Two thousand two hundred ten miles.

Oof.

I'm back at work on Sunday. It sucked. I've been going through paperwork most of the day from the daily end of days. I got a headache from it. I wanted to crawl right back into bed. But, instead, I get to open/close. Yay! Fun times for the kiddies.

Of course, Chatty Cathy ordered at 15 minutes to close and lives about 8 miles away. Up a hill. On a dirt road. I'm still waiting for the driver to get back. *sigh* I'm all done, just waiting on the driver. And he just walked in the door. Got to get this done then I can go have a piece of cake.

I like cake.

mood: headachy

I got pulled over about 50 miles from Junction, TX. *sigh* 81 in a 65. Oops. Honestly, I wasn't paying attention to how fast I was going, especially since there was NO one else on the road. According to the ticket, traffic flow was "MED". I can only take that to mean "medium" level.

As I discussed with April earlier today, I am not superhuman, even though I like to think I am. If I REALLY REALLY pushed it, I could have driven the rest of the night and pulled in very early Friday morning to Tucson, but what's the point? So, resting is a good idea. I'm going to call R tomorrow and see if they'll be okay Saturday morning. All day Saturday if I can get away with it. I'd like to miss Sunday, too, but I'd rather not push it that far. Besides, I have a lot of shit to catch up on Sunday so I'm not too far behind come Monday.

I really really really thought I could do it, but an uncomfortable seat (which I think I fixed with a few adjustments), constant construction slow downs and getting into Houston during rush hour did not help my cause. But, the weather has held up, I'm getting pretty good gas mileage (at least, I think I am, haven't done the math yet), and I'm staying fairly hydrated with water and coffee. The coffee is one of the worst parts, but you know, whatever. I picked up a cute coffee mug in LA with an old bait shop ad on it. I rather like it. I picked up some peanut brittle for April's niece and April and a gator head for one of the servers at the RG. She asked for an alligator. Stuffed was fine for her.

I did get to eat some gator today. Delicious. And sweet tea. Freshly made sweet tea. God bless Louisiana.

The first billboard I saw coming into Texas referred to their having "God, Guts and Guns" I know that God was listed first, the other two, I'm guessing on. :)

Ok. I need to get some sleep. So I can get a very early start.

mood: sore

Yes. Pascagoula, Mississippi. That's where I made it to this evening. I got a very late start today. I didn't get out of WPB until 4 p.m. I was impressed with my abilities to get to Tallahassee in about 6.5 hours. Seriously, that's the quickest I've ever gotten there. So, I've gone 700+ miles so far. In 10 hours. Not great, but not too shabby either. Only another 1400 miles to go. Oof. I think if I push it, I can make it back Thursday night and be in my own bed.

The humidity is ridiculous. And the bugs. Some snuck into the car, thankfully, they were small.

I can't wait to get home.

mood: humid!!

I went to Tess' Rosary Service last night. I wasn't going to be able to get to the funeral today since I had to catch my flight. It made me almost want to be Catholic again. The comfort that a lot of these people were getting from their faith in their religion. I sat politely, did the standing and sitting and I did a quasi-kneel. I couldn't do the full kneel as my knees just ain't that young anymore. The old lady next to me was a trooper and was able to do the full kneel. Good for her.

The incense in the chapel was stifling, but it was awesome to see so many people there for Tess. I got to see one of her brothers that I haven't seen in almost 4 years and my old buddy Mike. Met his new girlfriend. She was wearing a veil. A few of the women there were wearing veils. Hair covers that I haven't seen in forever in a Catholic church. Then again, I haven't been to a church in a long time. I don't remember ever seeing any women wear them when I did go to church however. This was a Byzantine Catholic church. No kneeling, trade off is that you have to cover your hair. Small price to pay for knee health. :)

Due to the incense, I couldn't stay past the service, my head was ready to blow. I didn't say my goodbyes to her body, but I did say my goodbyes in my head. I'm sure she hears them if there is an afterlife.

Bye Tess. It was an honor knowing you.

I'm sorry if the sarcasm dripped off the title onto your monitor or keyboard. I originally booked my flight with Northwest (I mean, c'mon, their abbreviation is NWA) and booked the exit row window for BOTH flights. I get to the airport and find that I've been bumped from NWA, but not really. You see, they were operating the NWA flight and the Delta flight as the same one. Nice. If I had known that, I would have saved the $8 and booked on Delta. Asshats. So, I get my seat assignment, thankfully by a window for the first leg and discover that I am booked in a middle seat for the second half. I don't freaking think so.

So, I finally land in Atlanta and am faced with a 2 hour layover, which wasn't listed on the itinerary that I booked, it was only about 75 minutes at that point. I have a $19 meal (before tip) of a hamburger (the server took my plate away before I could enjoy my pickle) and a Dos Equis bottle (no fruit). Great. They changed my gate about three times. I finally get the right gate after sitting in at two different gates (I did get to read the Enquirer for free, so that was nice) I purchase a $5 magazine that is really not that great of a read, but has a few good recipes in it, so that's at least SOMETHING, only to discover that my flight has been pushed back AGAIN.

I am now scheduled to depart at 11:45 p.m. Eastern time. I should get to PBI around 1:30 a.m. A mere TWO hours after I was scheduled to land. Of course, they laid the guilt trip down when they told us it was a weather delay. The incoming flight was sitting on the runway for 3 hours. I think that would have pissed me off more than 2 hours sitting in the ATL. Then again, the humidity here seeps into the airport. Ugh. Makes me miss the desert even more.

The headphones I have apparently aren't really good for flights. I could barely hear my mp3 player, so big shout out to passenger I. Sidden for leaving the latest Time magazine in the front seat pocket. I finished the NYT and didn't want to crack open my Pizza Today just yet, owing to the next flight where I would need SOMETHING to read other than the sky mall catalog.

Hopefully the morning brings better tidings.

mood: annoyed

It's kind of funny that I can have a sad post right before this one, but, you know, life does move on and I am sad that she's gone, but I'm more sad for her family. Maybe I'm just a weirdo.

The Saga of Cassie continues. Oh, Cassie is my Saturn. I named her. Shut up!

They decided to total out the car. I've been waiting for the paperwork to arrive since it was FedExed on Friday. Is FedEx a verb now? Anyways, supposedly it is out on the truck today for delivery. I'm at the store right now waiting for it. The salvage/tow company called me yesterday to set up a time to get the car picked up.
"Uh, I don't even have the paperwork for the car yet."
"They haven't sent you the documents?"
"No, they are being sent out right now, but I haven't received them yet. I don't want to release the car until I have the paperwork."
"Understandable. Ok, here's the reference number and our phone number. Give us a call when you get all that taken care of."
"Great, thanks."

Any business owners out there, seriously, avoid Zurich American. My car was hit on 5/13, it is now 6/3. I still have the car in my carport. It looks so sad. Of course, the adjustor had no idea that I STILL had my car. *rolls eyes*

I spoke with the loss guy on Friday the 29th and got the total loss amount. I asked him why they just wouldn't repair the car for $1200 less than they were paying me out and he said because repairs could probably go beyond the estimate, blah blah blah. Fine. Cut me the check.

Of course, as an afterthought, after I had already resigned myself to just taking the payout, I realized that I could have bought the car back as salvage and sold it to one of my drivers. At least my car has a/c. :) Oh well, so, I have the rental for 10 days beyond the 29th. Given how slow they are moving, I may have it for another day or two more.

April and I went out on Saturday, the 30th, to go looking for cars. They were all junk or too expensive. I was not a happy camper. I called my dad after we were finished and was telling him about everything and he offered me the car that he got from his sister that was her daughter's, but since she's in New York she doesn't need a car so he took it to get around while he fixed up his '91 Cougar (which is quasi-fancypants). His car is fixed now and he doesn't need the Focus anymore. It's a 2004, a little newer than my car, paid off, and in excellent condition as he has been fixing that one up a bit, too. High mileage, but it's mostly highway miles, like mine was. The best part...IT'S FREE.

I'm flying out Tuesday (which I found out, if you buy your ticket at least 7 days in advance, it's about $100 cheaper. asshats.) to West Palm Beach, in the exit row, extra leg room, thank you very much. I don't need my seat to recline, I don't do that anyways, I just need the leg room. The very best part, it looks as though that entire row is empty. Guess who is stretching out? Yours truly!

I need to call the rental company and see if I can drop the car off at the airport location or if I need to bring it to them and then just get a ride to the airport. I can't wait to be rid of this car. Stupid Malibu. So freaking big. The a/c was nice, though. However, I think it needs a brake job, perhaps a berring needs to be replaced in the front left tire (it squeaks), needs an oil change and the tires also lose pressure unevenly. I'll be letting them know about the issues with the vehicle. Maybe they will actually fix them.

I'll be driving the Focus back from Florida. That's my 4th time driving across the country. 3 times to AZ but only one time to Florida. I'm pretty excited about the trip. Haven't been to Florida in a while, so it will be nice to remember the sticky humidity, the beating sun and the crazy traffic congestion. It's a reminder as to why I left the state in the first place.

I figure if I can get to Houston on the first day that's a good midway point. 950 miles. From Houston, I can make it to Tucson in another 950 miles. These are approximations, mind you. It'll be kind of rough, but I am using the Friday that I am back in town as a day of rest and relaxation. Maybe take in a movie or go shopping for a new bed.

I decided to put the money from the insurance into savings, maybe see if there is a CD I can get into that is pretty good. But, I'm going to buy myself a new bed (approx. $300-500) and the Kids in the Halls series (approx. $100). Having that savings cushion is going to be very nice and a way for me to just focus on rebuilding credit, looking for a new job and realizing that I don't have to be stuck in this job forever. Especially since I probably have close to a month in vacation and sick time saved up from the job that I'll get paid out to me. Unless, of course, they find some loophole to fuck me over with. I wouldn't be surprised. At all.

So, there is the saga and the conclusion. I just bought the ticket, I'm ready to go. I got the laundry taken care of at the Fair Wash Wash and Fold for $45 including tip. That saved me about 4 hours of aggravation and manual labor. And it stimulated the economy! Yay!

Just need to get the paperwork from the damn Fed Ex guy and then I can head home and finish cleaning the house. Stupid house. Have to vacuum. Probably will get about 3 cats worth of fur.

mood: hot

We weren't BFF, but we were friendly. I would visit with her whenever her brother was in town. Her brother and I used to work together and another brother of hers is one of my current employees.

She wanted to write. She was pretty good at it. She was funny, intelligent, insane and was fun to go drinking with, well, until she had a little too much.

She was in New Mexico and had a rollover accident, she was ejected from the car. I don't think any other vehicles were involved. She wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Her dog made it through the crash.

Tess, wherever you are, I had a drink for you last night. I'll probably have another one for you tonight. I'm so sorry that you had to leave us. Your family is in my thoughts and I will help them get through this however I can.

I'll miss you.

quick update on car.

flying to florida on 6/9/09 to get free car from dad.
driving back to az on 6/10/09.

ROAD TRIP!!!

mood: hot

It's been interesting the past few days. I think I may really have reached a breaking point with work. The move to 55 hour work weeks, mandatory, is one of them. I guess I didn't mind working the 55 hours if I didn't *have* to do it. Instead, I get to work 5 11 hour shifts, but you know, it doesn't always work out that way, so I wind up working a little more than that. Then the Houghton manager and I found out that the 4th Ave manager got to take Memorial Day off and so had the corporate guys to handle his shit for him. Even with yesterday off, he wasn't able to make it to the meeting this morning. The only time I got to skip a Monday was when I took vacation time from the weekend through to the next week. I'm pretty sure that this isn't his first time missing his Monday shift. Not to mention, missing a meeting. You know, because they are OH SO IMPORTANT.

Bah, whatever. Got our April P&Ls back today. Made money for them again. Not as much, as our sales are dropping fairly fast, especially now that we are moving into the summer months. I see that Pizza Hut was hiring drivers and Sushi Garden is hiring servers. I could give those both a try OR I can hang through the summer just to make sure, get to using the insurance (of course, we are going out to bid on it again as they raised the premiums $500/mo) and get some things going with that before I perhaps find a better job.

I think I just found a bruise on my thigh and I don't know where it came from. Hmmm.

I bought some Aveeno Stress Relief or something. It smells yummy.

I feel like a broken record. I think I should just get some sleep.

mood: sleepy

FINALLY, someone feels as I do about pepperoni.

mood: amused

Got my car rental today. It's a Chevy Malibu. It's nice, but for me it's HUGE. I'm getting used to it, though.

Call from estimator, he'll be by tomorrow to look at it, which means I have to drive the broken car to work so he can look at it. After he's done, I'll probably bring it back home and drive the rental back to work.

I got to the rental place this afternoon and they told me that they had moved my reservation, so I asked where I needed to go, but they said they could handle it there. Then why move it? Seriously.

I had to put down a security deposit, which really blows, but the funds will be released upon return of the car, so at least I can hold on to some money, kind of.

Slowly but surely this is working out. I'm really hoping for them to fix it. I'm going to raise holy hell if they want to total it out, because, honestly, it's gonna be cheaper for them to fix it. Trust me on this one.

I'm mean sometimes.

Mad props to Char for picking me up this afternoon and taking me over there. I was looking up bus lines to see which one I needed to hop on to get to the car rental place. Of course, when I get there and get all the paperwork situated it says on the brochure that they will pick you up. I thought only Enterprise did that. Oh well. :)

And I hate my neighbors. They've been taking up all the machines most of the day. I finally got two washing machines and was going to go back and possibly use a 3rd one and the other two were being used by the same chick who had just finished using all four of them. She is currently using 3 dryers, which means I'll have access to one of them for now, but will have to wait for another to open up. Seriously. Why can't people be considerate. I mean, there are like 30 tenants or so in this complex and 4 washers and 4 dryers. So ridiculous. And since I don't want to be up until midnight doing laundry, I just gave up and am only going to do 2 loads. The rest will have to wait until I can squeeze it in another day. Dammit.

Ok, gotta go check the clothes and see if I can't snag that dryer before she decides to use it. Then litterbox duty. Ewwwwwww

mood: annoyed

It is highly possible that the car will be totaled out.

I will miss Cassie if that is the case.

I am hopeful that I will be able to get a fair bit for her, though. KBB is about $3800. The mileage is the big reason it's not gonna be worth much more. But, she made it through 3 trips across the country, a trip to Key West, multiple trips to Miami, Naples, Orlando and oh so many other places.

Cassie, if you are to go, I shall truly miss you.

However, there is a sweet little Sunfire convertible on CL for $4500. I could pull $200 from savings, offer them $4K and have a nice little red zoomy car. :) :) :)

I also found a nice '01 'Stang for an unlisted price at a "dealership" near work. Gonna check them out. If I go that route, I could probably put down $2k or so and finance the rest. My credit isn't great, but it's not a huge amount to finance either. So, we'll see.

I get the rental in the morning. I'm more excited about that than anything.

mood: sad

Wednesday = car getting hit
Thursday = taking car to get estimate

Here's where I have a bad feeling about everything. I called the insurance company because the estimator says to me, "This car isn't drivable as you have no taillight." Oops. I always though drivable meant "Does it start? Does it go? Then you can drive it." I guess I was wrong.

I speak to Mr. Ortega at the insurance company. He has just received the claim and hasn't done anything with it yet. As he has just received it, I'm okay with that. It doesn't have my phone number, I provide him with my cell phone number. I tell him the situation with the car and he says, "Since we haven't accepted liability yet and I haven't spoken with the insured, there is nothing I can do for you right now. Once I speak with the insured and if we accept liability then I will set up a rental for you."
"Ok. Any idea how long that might be?"
"I have other claims ahead of yours and I just got yours today, as I already said."

yeah, I get that. Don't you have time frames? Sheesh.

Then he says, "As for the estimate, you don't need to get one, we have authorized repair shops that you can take the vehicle to for repair."

Uhhhh...no. See, your CSR upon initiation of the claim (please bear in mind, I didn't say any of this because, you know, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with Mr. Ortega here) told me to go get an estimate done. I have it written down. So, if this isn't something you all like, then why do you have your CSRs telling people to do this?

I leave the body shop and proceed to clean out the trunk and discover that the guy hit me with enough force to break a glass pitcher I had in the trunk. Don't ask. It was going to be for a floral arrangement. One of those get around to it things.

On the bright side, the trunk is clean. Except for the glass. I haven't touched the rest of the car yet, I'm still working on it. These things take time.

Mr. Ortega calls me later in the day to tell me that the phone number that he has for the insured is incorrect and he must contact their selling agent to get updated info. Here's what is really bothering me about all this: why hasn't the company initiated a claim? Was it truly my responsibility to do that? That part I am truly curious about.

Get to Char's pizza party and the store is in chaos. The phones won't stop ringing. I hop behind the counter to help them out as best I can, which means that I miss out on a lot of the gathering. I feel bad about it, but I also needed to get these orders out because, dammit, I have a business to run. Finally, I was able to sit down and eat with Liz, but that was only because we lost her order ticket. Sorry again about that :) :) :)

Saw Hell's Kitchen finale, well, most of it, because I had to take one delivery. *sigh* I disagree with his choice, but I know that the runner-up will probably land a job fairly quickly. The runner-up was consistent throughout the entire competition, so good luck to that person. The funny part of the show was when Chef Ramsey says, "The winner of Hell's Kitchen is.......................someone who lives in Florida."

They both live in Florida :)

Anyways, yesterday was just busybusybusybusybusybusybusybusy, nonstop all day long. I think I scared Uncle Mike a little, too. Awesome. I wound up pulling an open-close yesterday because there just wasn't a chance for me to leave the store. At all. Except on deliveries. In my busted car. Yay! At least I got some cash, though. Thank goodness. Because fast forward to today, I couldn't take it anymore.

I had brought my blender in to the store when our Robot Coupe food processor died. This is a $1k piece of equipment. I brought in my $25 blender so that we could still make some of our sauces and chop our sausage. Yeah. It makes great white sauce and garlic butter, but that's about it.

The past two weeks we've been hand chopping garlic, sausage, and the spices/herbs for the red sauce. You know, because that's not time consuming AT ALL. The pesto looked like baby food. It spread really nicely, though. Today I watched C try to make pesto in the blender and I kept hearing the spoon hit the blades and the glass jar. I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed my tips from last night and headed to Target. I found a 6 cup processor for $35. $6 more than online, but I needed it NOW, not in 3-5 business days. So, bought that, and then I texted the bosses and told them that we couldn't take it anymore that it was only $35 and I was done with the pesto sauce in 5 minutes instead of the 25 it had already taken us and we hadn't gotten anywhere yet.

Yay for getting fed up!

It's shiny. I like it. It will probably last about two months with the amount of work we have to use it for. I may leave the blender here for white sauce and garlic butter, I have to see how the processor works for it before I decide to take it home. But, I want to make smoothies again!

It's really hot in here today.

Oh, and we may be working with the JCC to supply them with pizzas, except we have to make sure that we get new equipment for THEIR pizzas to make sure that it's kosher. You know, at least a $100 in equipment (screens, a peel, a cutting blade, lexans). And the Rabbi has to watch while we make the order. I don't know if that's, pardon the pun, kosher. Having someone in the kitchen who is not an employee. I told Uncle Mike to speak with D regarding the logistics of that. I have a feeling that will be the thing that makes or breaks this deal. We'll see.

I should finish payroll, but I really don't feel like it. Too hot. And I'm sleepy.

mood: sleepy

It's all under the cut! oh yeah, sexy car photos. woo!!!
( Read more... )

If you don't feel like clicking, they are just photos of the damage done to my car this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. A delivery truck for the TV place next door cut the turn too close and ripped the bumper off. Nice. I filed the claim 2 hours later and they STILL hadn't called yet. I have a feeling this isn't going to go too well. I ripped off the bumper and it's over near the dumpster at work. This happened at work, by the by. Nice. At least he didn't drive off, of course, there were like three witnesses, so it wouldn't have done him any good anyways.

That was just PART of the bad day here at the MGP. At least I can laugh about it.
