So, I won the battle with my apartment complex over the issue of tree branch falling on my car. One month to the day they decided to compensate me for damages. This was not an easy process, and I had to speek to many people within the organization that owns the complex. Basically they had one lady, in risk management, handling my case. Basically this woman really didn't investigate the case and said that they wouldn't be compensating me for damages because there was rain water in the pictures I took. Well I took the pictures about four hours after it happened, so it had rained by that time in the afternoon. Well the witness statement said that there was no inclemate weather at the time the branch fell. The case worker couldn't get past the fact that my car was wet in the pictures. So, After trying to deal with her for over three weeks and having no success because she was a stupid bitch, I decided to go to her supervisor. I faxed her a letter regarding the fact that the investigation wasn't being handled well. I also faxed official whether reports and estimates for damages. The next day I got a call from the regional manager. She asked what I was looking for. I was thinking, "duh, what the fuck do you think I'm looking for you?". I just told her I wanted full compensation for damages. She called me back five minutes later and gave me the money. I thought it was crazy that it only took her five minutes to make the decision after it took the corporate office about a month to run a crappy investigation. Oh well. My car goes in to get fixed on Tuesday!
Last Night: I went to a sushi restaurant with a few friends. Now I don't really like sushi because the seaweed causes a gag reflex. When asked to go I figured there wouldn't be a problem because this restaurant serves stuff other than sushi. When we arrived and were seated the waitress told us that the chef didn't come into work, so the only thing we could order was sushi. I never knew a restaurant could operate without a chef, but this one could, apparently. So I just decided to myself to stop being a baby about sushi and ate it. And it wasn't that bad.
