Monique @ 9:13 am Got home from work last night and saw that I had not one but TWO package-pick-up notifications … one from FedEx, one from UPS. I knew the FedEx one was my battery so after my 30-minute drive home, I pretty much turned around and went back up north … ’cause the package couldn’t be at the facility 5 minutes from my apartment. Le sigh. On the way there, some fuckstick tow truck driver cut across FOUR lanes of traffic during rush hour (it was about 6:15 p.m.) and instead of going to the shoulder, stopped in the far left lane … where he was promptly rear-ended. God, I hate the sound of two cars hitting. I was too far up to stop, which sucked bc it was totally the tow-truck driver’s fault even though I’m sure the other guy will get blamed. I noticed I did what I always do during times like that, which is cover my mouth with my hand while I gasp. Do you guys do that???? I don’t know why I do!
Eneeewaaaaay … I picked up my new Gateway battery and plugged it in to charge when I got home. When it wasn’t doing jack, I used my phone to look info up online and oops, a new charge can take up to 12 hours. I left it plugged in overnight to the ac adapter but this morning, the front of the laptop was still showing solid red for the battery display. But but but … I am currently using the laptop on battery power alone! So I e-mailed Gateway to find out how to get the laptop to read the new battery. I guess I’ll save often and use it ’til the charge runs out …
Work was still weird yesterday … we had a birthday lunch for two of the managers and our sr. director was actually fun. I get in these moods where I am able to relate to him and we actually talked quite a bit during lunch. He was fascinated that my ex is being transferred to NJ and brought it up in conversation a few times. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to look into the situation LOL. We have Monday off for the holiday and I think the three-day weekend will do us all good.
It’s going to be brutally cold this weekend … my plan was to sleep in but I have to go to the post office to pick up two packages that have been sitting there all week. Fun fun fun fun FUN!

Computers a such a pain in the ass sometimes.
But as for the accident. I would of called the police and told them the asshole tow truck driver just cut across 4 lanes of traffic and got rear ended. This way they would of had a witness to the accident and the poor guy who hit him wouldn’t be to blame.

I agree with Frankie, though I doubt the cops would care. My husband was rear-ended by someone with a suspended license, and he was found at fault because he fishtailed a little (hello, ICE), and the cop claimed he was driving too fast for the conditions o.O He was doing 20 when he freaking got hit.

Here in Canada, if you rear end someone, you’re automatically at fault, no matter what the dipshit in front of you did.
As for the covering the mouth, I giggled because I do the same thing. I once ran over a poor bunny on the way home (he kept swerving!) and yelled “OMG I’M SORRY” as it happened. LOL…

I’m guessing it’s our natural reaction so we don’t suck in bugs…
