Well, today sucked and was wonderful all at once... and hopefully I don't delete this blog once I sober up. Today was the first day for my new "supervisor." He's a great guy and I kind of wish I could hate him but I don't. He understands the horribly awkward situation he's walking into and I think we will be buddies eventually. (Fuck, I must really be drunk... I just used the word "buddy.") I started showing him the ropes today. It's a little odd showing someone else how to do a job you should have. Oh well. The day was just so-so (all things considered) and I had my exhibit done and left at 5:00. The weather has sucked but hasn't actually been bad enough to close campus but has still been bad enough to make things miserable. On my way home I was driving along, the same as every day, and today I hit a patch of ice, slid, slid some more, and hit a big ass truck. Fuck. It didn't hurt the truck but crumpled my hood and did a number on the front end of my poor car. Turns out my deductible is $500. Fuck! (For the third time.) So that money I have been saving up for the last few months... spent. Lame, lame, lame!
I had plans to see the MS after work for a beer. Fuckin-A I needed that beer tonight! We met at the neighborhood watering hole for "a beer." Two hours later we had split a pitcher of strong microbrew, had opened up and had a great night, and still managed to be bit ol' prudes! No kiss, no letting the guard down. I got home (half a block away thankfully) and my land lady saw my crumpled, fucked up car in the parking lot and met me with a huge glass of red wine. (I love you for that!) We chatted, drank and I went downstairs to my place. There was a great email from the MS. I don't recall what it said and don't wanna look... so I sent an embarrassing drunken email back. We'll see where that goes. C'est la vie. Wow... even drunk I can say dumb ass things in languages I don't even speak. I need to loosen up!

sorry about the car...but it sounds like you made the most out of a bad situation.
You've got a week and 1/2 to get rid of that bad weather. ; )
