my excuseSorry I didn't make it over to the dinner after work. Or call. I had a massive migraine yesterday as a result of stress.
Yesterday on the way into work I hit a drift in the road, slid, and after almost correcting myself, hit the second drift and lost it. Spun around and nailed the guard rail on my drivers side.
The biggest issue here is the wheel damage.
I found a replacement rim for $100 (used) that will arrive at the shopp in Springville, today. Thankfully the tire is fine. Today, I drive BACK to springville on the stupid donut I had to put on and get to find out the rest of my fate. Of which I know:
My alignment is way off, I'm pretty sure I have a bent rotor, will need at LEAST one new rotor, brakepad and caliper. I may need a trailing arm too.
The worst part about the whole thing was that I was on the phone with my mother when it happened (she didn't know it happened, until she asked me why I was swearing) and not TEN minutes earlier we were having a conversation about my insurance being so high, and how I have to do some shopping around, because my deductible is $1000. Fing f f f f f.
ANyways, I hope you all had a great time last night and Sorry I didn't make it!

I have heard your deductibles actually should be fairly high because if you make any claims they can affect your rates for years anyways. Glad you weren't hurt.

What the hell is with these accidents on the way to work?
Is working too hard putting our lives, and by extension our cars, in danger? O_o
(Hee, see what I did there?)

SometimesI've been getting so drained at work lately... I keep anticipating the time when it will all just go away, and yet it doesn't...
My Lockport store is currently the #1 Wireless zone store for April (out of several hundred), and last month we were#2. It has been SO BUSY!
Which of course is good for profits, but I'm finding it to be a hard time juggling sales, and trying to keep these guys going long enough to keep their other tasks up. I walked into the store Monday morning and it was a DISASTER.
I placed a $35,000 order because we were so very low/sold out of stuff. Seriously - that is a big order.....
I love working in Lockport because it makes my check much more bearable, but holy hell does it kick my ass.
Today I'll be in Springville, which has still been a profitable store, but less chaos. A little relaxation, I guess. Except the admin lady called in, so I get to do her job too. BAh.... AND as a result, I don't get to go to the dinner tonight. BALLS!
Its so hard leading these kids into battle....
oh... haha on another note, (e:lauren) got a ticket yesterday! haha

bonsaiiiiI Bought a Japanese Juniper plant.
it looks sorta like this
the intention is to prune it into a bonsai
like this:
I intend on doing this tomorrow. But I don't have any bonsai pottery. Nor do I have gloves. Which could suck as my hands already have red prickles on them.
AH.

oopsUh, I signed on early to say Happy Birthday Jim, and somehow i forgot that part. Sorry...
Happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday!!!
jim - 04/03/09 21:09
Yay :) thank you!
Yay :) thank you!
Alex, next time you go, you want to go to the St. Sixtus Monastery and get the Westvleteren 12, the Holy Grail of Beer, and a drop that I would do some seriously dirty shit to taste.
damn jay, I'll go beer tasting with you!
and unfortunately I didn't get your message in time, and couldn't find the beer you wanted. All I brought back was some chimay, which is not even hard to find here- but there were too many carry-on restrictions, so I had to buy it in duty-free and the selection was limited. :( I did have a tasty delirium nocturnum while there though, and had a rochefort back at the house too. :)
Ok felly sorry for hijacking!
Happy beeriversary!
Happy anniversary.
PS - If I had a woman that wanted to do beer tasting on an anniversary I would love the bajeezus out of her too! LOL!
It looks like an interesting event. Merchant Du Vin imports some of my favorite Belgians - Orval, Trappiste Rochefort, Westmalle.
