Reason #568 that I HATE my career and it's associated commute...
Got in an accident on the 5 southbound this morning. No injuries, everyone's fine. But my Jeep's not. Front end is totally bashed in and the thing's undriveable. Had to get a tow back to Ventura.

Spent an hour standing on the freeway waiting for a tow. Another three hours dealing with the situation. On the bright side, it gave me a legitimate excuse to not attend two meetings I didn't want to attend in th first place. And now I have a rental Jeep - so I get to test drive a 2003 for a couple weeks.

This just sucks. It was bound to happen though I guess... commuting 3 hours daily in LA traffic the odds are against you I suppose.

Beware the dreaded domino effect! Especially on bright sunny mornings where there's heavy stop & go traffic and you're driving straight into the rising sun.

This is a really heavy straw heaped onto the camel's back. There has GOT to be another way to pay the phucking bills without having to drive everyday.

Well, I guess there's only one thing to do; milk this legitimate excuse out a little longer and go surfing.

I need a new job.

Tom... nope.. there were others in line behind me too. But, the guy right behind me managed to swerve off the road and that gave the guy behind HIM room to stop. Otherwise, I woulda been riding a Jeep sandwich.

 

[dreg]

that sucks,
but you're OK,
so that's good....

go surfing...

 

[groovn]

dreg... good point. I think I'll do that shortly.

First, I'm gonna spend some time on the job search boards. There's GOT to be a better / closer way to make a phucking living around here.

hey - you gonna be up this weekend for the Arden / Party? Didja get my email?
