(no subject)
I love my nice, spankin-new-paint-job, shiny red Eclipse. I just paid about $800 to get it painted, about a month ago. It lead to a whole fiasco (no one EVER get your car painted at Maaco, at least not the one down here), but that's a story for a different place.
It got hit tonight while I was at work at Walmart. I walked out with Joe (my buddy/CSM) and Kelly (another buddy) and saw the light reflecting really weird off the passenger side. Walk over, and sure enough, nice big ole dent and scratches. I went inside, and the O/N manager doesn't know how to work the parking lot tapes, so I have to wait for LP to come in in the morning.
So, Doug (mr mgr) tells me to call FHP and get them to come do a report. I do, at 1130p. They finally show around 1215, and they look at my car, do a report and tell me that after we look at the tapes and see who it is, to confront them but not mention the tapes. If they fess up and pay for it, he won't take them to jail, but if they deny it, they're going.
Since we have to park soooooo far out, it almost had to be an associate that hit my car. No one else parks out there. And I always park in that same spot. And there's always the same couple of cars that park around me. And today, I parked in my spot, and no one was around me.
I hope it is an associate, so they have to see me all the time. I can't wait to watch the tapes tomorrow.
But, I did want to mention this, cos it made me smile:
Me: and he saw my dixie cup on the dashboard and asked who it belonged to
Jenna: And?
Me: oh, I said "my boyfriend" and he just smiled
Me: his partner kinda made a comment to him about how I'm working at walmart, paying rent and the car and insurance, and my boyfriend can't live near here since there's no base.
Jenna: In other words, a saint.
Me: i dunno what he meant by it, but it made me smile
Jenna: He meant that you go through a lot and you deserve respect. :)
Me: it made me smile
Me: no one else ever notices stuff like that
