Omg, what a stressful weekend....
When I went out for a while Saturday, my car got rear ended. Nothing real bad. But, now when I idle, my exhaust vibrates against my bumper. I need a new bumper and exhaust now. >.> Thankfully, I know where I can get the parts for cheap and help get the labor done on it with me for practically nothing. ^^; I might be able to work out $1500-2000 from the insurance company. Dunno. (Hell, I managed to get 1100 for 300 worth of equipment in my car when it was broken into. This should be no problem.)
Moved down last night. Had Jeff help me move the washer, dryer and mattresses in the truck, but after that, it was all me. He had to go home. I hate moving. Plain and Simple. I've got to unpack all these boxes today. That's my big task at hand.
I also managed to get a speeding ticket. My first in 3 years. Not surprisingly as I started to get real close to D/FW... I apparently was going 85 in a 65. I thought the speed limit was 70 and I was going 75. I normally go off the speed everyone else is going and pace them... but, there was noone else around and some local cop found me. He knocked down the speed to where it would be within 15mph instead of 20 so I can do defensive driving.
I also need to find a job now, when I get done with this stuff. Very frustrating. I hate the whole training process. But, what're you going to do, y'know? I think I found one anyways that pays $14-16 an hour based on experience. (Jason, I'll show you.) I'm pretty confident I can get it. It's right up my alley. It's just not what I want.. But, I don't get the option of being picky really.
So, in short:
Packed alone, (with the exception of Jeff's help at the beginning.)
Got a speeding ticket
Got rear ended
Still have to unpack everything.
Need to find a job.
Oh, I also got some new glowing chucks in the mail. They're AWESOME! Thank you, Lara!
