New Car...
So, I got all my stuff out of the focus finally. Including my work key so I'll be able to get into the office now when I need to. LOL
The insurance guy told me that my car is totaled (according to Arkansas law, if the repairs cost more than 75% of the blue book value, then it's a total loss - and apparently the two airbags deploying alone would cost about four grand to fix). I'm gonna get about $5,800 for it (5500 blue book value plus a bunch of other fees and taxes and so on).
Tomorrow is my last day with the rental. I've got to pick up my title from the Revenue place and give it to the Farm Bureau guy (and collect my $5,800 from him) tomorrow, then, soon as I can arrange a ride home, I'll be turning in the rental.
I need to find another decent used car that I can make some kind of good down payment on with $5,000. I'm gonna keep the $800.
In other news, I turned my ankle again (for those who don't know I sprained it while running, two days AFTER I had the wreck from which I only got a bruise on my hand. how's THAT for ironic?) in the gravel at the wrecker place while I was getting the stuff from the focus and I can feel it trying to swell back up again. Ugh. Stupid thing's never going to heal.
I may work from home again tomorrow and keep on doing it until I get a car. Or not. I dunno. Amanda Enis might not let me. I wish she would though. There's almost nothing can't do from home that I can do at the office. Heck, I'm actually MORE productive at home cause I don't have -someone- bugging me every five minutes. *coughcoughcough*
Oh, and the folks at the State Revenue offices are just the most helpful folks! I went to find out why I didn't get my title and found out it was some mix-up with the odometer and they helped me straighten it right up so I can get my title tomorrow instead of going through a bunch of BS. Maybe it was all the limping and leaning on crutches that inspired such great service! LOL
I faxed off my Aflac claim form today too, which is good. They say they process claims in three days so, hopefully I'll hear back from them early next week.
