oopsie poopsie!
i fell inappropriately in love with a car last night. so crazy in love that i committed to buying her (it's a "her") without knowing how much money i'm getting (or if i'm getting any at all) from the insurance company.
in fact, i still don't know the status of my insurance claim. shortly after i posted my desperate plea for mercy yesterday, the adjuster called and said this: "sooo...you were in an accident? where's the car?" i promptly ripped two handfuls of hair from my head, jumped out a second story window, and ran shrieking into the distance.
you see, i had already relayed this information to the insurance company on saturday when i filed the claim. i was under the impression the adjuster would take a look at the car before she called me, but no. and now i've been assigned to a new adjuster who will call me today? maybe? i asked the lady whether the adjuster would call me before or after they looked at the car. "hmmm. i don't know. i'm not really familiar with the process."
oh. my bad. to assume you might actually be helpful or reassuring when someone's car, the most expensive thing most people own, is in your hands. how extraordinarily silly of me.
so back to the new car. i have to call the dealership and tell them that i won't be coming in at 6 p.m. today. that i made a terrible mistake when i said "i'll take it!" because, um, i don't really have any money. which is kinda critical to the whole car buying thing.
