Okay so too sum it all up so far this week has absolutely bitten the big one. The way it's going I think I may just call in to work today and tomorrow and just hide under my bed until it's over....
Monday: Got to work, got a crappy assignment, with marriage mail to every house on my 5 hour route (about 750 houses). (I'm a mailman and my route changes daily since I'm not a regular, so my boss just feeds me the crap routes when someone is off)
Tuesday: Boss calls and wakes me up (7:00 in the morning, I get up at 7:15, but that's besides the point) to inform me that I am going to a different city because they're short staffed there and need help. (I rotate between cities as needed since I'm not a regular)
Wednesday: Garbage man knocks on my door. Guess what this idiot did, he hit my PARKED car with his truck doing about $4800 in damage (3800 in body work the other 1000 is just to make it road safe so I can drive it to work and back). I call my insurance and they tell me that I'm not covered for repairs since I only have no fault, and I have to pay for all the reapirs myself. Per my insurance, my coverage dosen't have collision even if someone hit me.
Thursday: I have the day off from work to get together with a friend of mine in town from Boston, and she calls to inform me that she can't come over (we made plans to meet for lunch and catch up since I haven't seen her in over 3 months)because she got arrested for driving on a suspended license (don't ask about that that's a whole different story), and has to go to court at 1:00. So, I call my boss and asked her about my start time for friday she tells me what it is, and since my plans are shot come in for "a few hours" if I want. Me being the guy that I am, figure what the heck, why not I can use the hours now that my car needs to be repaird, get in and the few hours (normally 2 or 3 hours of carrying)is actually 4 1/2 (the entire route except for 1/2 of a block)
As you all can tell, my week has been comletely shot to (insert your own profanity here) and I'm without a vehicle until I can come up with the money to pay for the towing and storage charges, and then I still have to come up with all the money to get the thing repaired. So if anyone out there is in SE Michigan (southern Wayne or northern Monore county would even be better) and wants to help a fellow paintballer out with getting my car repaired I'd apreciate it, or if you are rich and want to loan some cash so I can get the work done I'd be eternally grateful. Also if anyone has ever had a week worse than this, I'd like to see if you can top this one. Just remember my week isn't over yet, and something could still happen to me today.
