Random status:

Called insurance companies (both). Called other driver to confirm license plate number. Appears fairly certain other guy's insurance is accepting liability. Guy on phone said so, anyway.

I don't even have collision insurance. Oddly, this amuses me. (Years ago I decided the car wasn't worth enough to keep paying that bit.)

I will now confirm, never having been a customer of theirs, that State Farm is very nice to deal with in the initial stages of a claim. So is AAA, where I am insured.

Lots of meetings today. The lunch one ran very long, and then the 2pm didn't start until 230 and lasted until after five. This would have to be the day I'm playing phone tag with two insurance companies! Bailed out on a trip to a company we're working with in MtView. No time left; that'll have to be Monday. Also bailed on two reference-check phone calls. Drat. Want that wrapped up, darnit. Well, it's just not been a good day, that's all.

Escaped the office and went to my chiropractor before he closed up for the day. Got a gentle once-over and some good advice.

Canceled tomorrow's flight because I have no clue how I am going to feel in the morning and it will be too late to cancel by then.

Drove the crippled beast home. Parked backwards in the garage so I could exit the car.


Now that I'm not flying in the next 24h, and I'm not driving anywhere tonight, and I have had one hell of a day, I am settling down to some DRINKING.

I propose a toast. To our mechanized servants/companions, stolid beasts of burden, haulers of heavy loads in punishing conditions. To the one, loyal for seventeen years, who gave its life for mine today.

Have a glass of wine for me and I'm glad you are ok. Take care and I hope you have a relaxing weekend.

Thankee! You have a good weekend too. I'm hoping it will only get better from here. :)

Thanks and a toast that the weekend is a vast improvement.

I wrote a post about today as well, it hasn't been a good one from
what I can tell.

Take care and rest up :)

I think a lot of people just had a cruddy day today. Some days really do need do-overs!

Agreed!
