THAT Gets a Ticket?!
Oh dear lord. People, I got a parking ticket today. While parked IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. Yes, it’s only a $20 ticket, but it was IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I apparently violated the law by parking with the driver’s side up against the curb, rather than the passenger side. Apparently this is a … Continue reading
Another Accident
Holy crap, I got into another accident. As if breaking my light and denting my car last time wasn’t enough! (All that got fixed for under $100, fortunately.) This time, there was basically no damage to my car. It might have scuffed the paint a little, but that mark might have already been there, I’m … Continue reading
18 Hours, Pt. 3: Cars
I got home about 1:00am and found that :MK: – my wife’s sister, who lives with us, in case you haven’t heard me mention that a million times before – had parked down the driveway. Now, normally :A: and I park down the driveway, and MK&R park on the street. During splatter-berry season, they park … Continue reading
Done at Last
I know all I’ve been talking about lately is my car and college. Well, the car is pretty much taken care of. I got my registration and title yesterday, and today I went to the Pass & ID Office and got the new DOD decals that make my car truly official again. Tonight I will … Continue reading
Papers
I’ve got two sets of papers I’m working on right now. The first is the title and registration documents for my car. The PDF forms from the website were fillable, so everything is all nice and tidy except for the handwritten parts of the sale price form. I hope I haven’t left anything out; I’m … Continue reading
So Much Lost
It is now 1:15am. I am finally back in bed. I had some…adventures. Much getting-lost and going-crazy ensued.
No Rental Car
They wouldn’t let me rent a car this morning. Apparently my check card is not sufficient; I have to have a credit card, even though I use the check card as a credit card all the time. They ran some check on my check card and declined me for a rental, which is absurd because … Continue reading
Today’s Aftermath
I made it to work today without incident, and I dragged myself out to run errands at lunch even though I was afraid of “unnecessary driving.” How long is it going to be before I can drive without fear? I know it was an accident, but I’m afraid of it happening again, and I can’t … Continue reading
Smash
I wrecked my car today. Oops. I’m fine, though the car is not. I was on my way to work and I rear-ended a pickup truck in front of me. We were in a long line of cars at a light, and as I went to apply the brake, I hit the accelerator. The front … Continue reading
I’m in Philadelphia
Today started out bright and early with a woot-off! Normally Woot has one item per day, but during a woot-off they post a new item as soon as the previous one sells out. I had actually dreamed about a woot-off last night (seriously) and I woke up this morning to find they were having one! … Continue reading
