So I was in a little bit of a car accident yesterday. Nothing major, I got rear ended on my way to a staff meeting at the hospital. He decided to change lanes and didn't realize the light was red and ran into my back bumper on the drivers side. I got whipped a little, but I didn't hit my head or anything. I was reaching to get my chapstick out of my purse when he hit me so my neck was at an odd angle when it jerked. I'm a little sore today, nothin too bad. Kinda like a little crick in my neck (that's called wryneck right?) ok so anyways, I'm fine. Everyone was very concerned since my supervisor basically announced at the staff meeting that I would be late cause I was in a car accident. David called on his way out to make sure I was ok and he offered to go beat the poor kid up (Alan actually made the same offer later in the day) but I told him it wasn't necessary. I called my parents cause you know how Bob and Cathy can be, but neither of them answered so I left them voice messages that started like this, "Hey it's Jenni, everything is ok, I'm fine, but I wanted to let you know I was just in an accident...." with some more explaination. So of course my parents freaked, I think they forget that I'm 23 and fully capable of taking care of myself...it's kinda nice actually. I'm still the baby girl even though I'm like 600 miles away. So I've called and put in a claim with his insurance company and now I'm just waiting for an adjuster to call. Sounds like fun doesn't it? Amazingly I was in a really good mood through all of it. I never got mad, or upset, I never cried. The only thing that happened was my heart was beating really fast when I got out of my car, cause well...it's scary to get in an accident. But it's all good now. I just have to get a new bumper and probably a new back door too. This will be the second bumper I've had to have replaced in like 3 years...both accidents I was hit from behind...go figure. Ok that's all, back to work. Later peeps!
