sinkwriterI really need one of those *headdesk* userpics right about now. Preferably one with David Duchovny or TJ Thyne in it. ;)
As if I haven't already got enough on my plate at this time -- what with the joblessness, the stress, and the upcoming transitional move out of my apartment to live with relatives (for now) and end up who knows where eventually -- I've presently got ridiculous, costly car repairs.
And what's worse...
Someone hit my car.
I wasn't even driving it. (I guess I should be thankful for that, at least.)
I had dropped it off at the car repair shop last night so that this morning they could check out a few things I thought might need some work. As it is, I knew that was going to add up (and it sure did, to the tune of at least $860, with an additional $430 if I have everything repaired right now).
But apparently when they took my car out on the road to test it, someone came out of nowhere or turned too fast, and hit my car. They say they called the police and filled out a report, and that the driver who did it assumed all responsibility and fault. They got his insurance information for me, too. But on top of the repairs I already needed, they'll have to replace my entire bumper (and I'll have to deal with the driver's insurance and hope they don't mess with me or hold up paying for that portion of the repairs).
I just... don't have the time or energy to deal with this right now. I will, of course, because I have to.
But even though I try to look to the positive (that I wasn't driving at the time, that I wasn't injured and neither was anyone else), it's still frustrating because -- like everything else going on with me right now -- it's such bad timing. I just wish my luck would turn around. That things would start to look up, at last.
Why the hell did I take this crappy fork in the road? I admit it, I'm terrible with directions.
Whatever I did to tick off the universe, I take it back, okay? I'm not above begging at this point. What else can I do or say? Just name it. I give up. I give in. I apologize profusely. Will you please forgive me so we can all move forward and start again? I really need a new and positive direction.
*heavy sigh*
Oh, the drama. *eyeroll* I can't stand the sound of myself anymore.
And... *forehead to desk*

Date: 2008-05-12 05:45 pm (UTC)Also, I could really use a kitty sitter when I'm in New York, if you might not mind. I don't remember if you're allergic or not. You'd be welcome to live in my place for the 6 weeks, and you'd be so close to David and Sonnett... Think about it. :)
Love to you.

Date: 2008-05-12 07:30 pm (UTC)As for potentially working in Chicago, I suppose it depends on the job. I do like the city, love its energy, but in general like living in a quieter space.
Are you getting excited for NY? When do you go and when do you get back?
Would you like to get together for dinner over at Bakers some weeknight, to catch up? They're good but cheap eats; I can swing that. *GRIN*
Sending love right back to you.
P.S. I love your userpic. It's so funny, yet empowering at the same time. Hee.

Big love! (and thought you could use a sexy guy icon.)
