Car accident
14 years ago
So... First snow of the year for us, second day driving in it.
Thursday my boss called me and asked me to work someone else's morning shift, even though I didn't want to, as a 'good employee' I accepted.
I was on my way to work and slipped on some ice. To put it simply I had no time whatsoever to react, it was in the middle of a turn in to a narrow access in to the work parking lot, dividing the in and out there's this island, I slid for not even a second before slamming in to it at about 10mph. I hit my head when the car was shook, and got a minor concussion. My car on the other hand has suffered between $300 and $600 in damage, everything behind the front driver-side tire is bent or crushed.
After bouncing off the curb I slid a little bit more until my tires finally caught on dry cement and I was able to limp it in to a parking space, it was pulling very hard to the left. I spent the entire work day crying and still tear up just thinking about it. I'm upset about the damage, about how life is a fucking cunt, and that even though I knew how to react, and had demonstrated on Wednesday to myself and everyone watching that I react appropriately, I couldn't save my car - which is the ONLY good thing I have in my life.
At this point there's actually a chance that it can't be saved...
I'm going to be... Indisposed... For a while...

There's a chance I'll be getting a job at Burger King soon and if so I could save up and visit you if you wanted sometime.
