Oh wellz, i dunno if this is the right forum to write this down in.. but here goes... i got into my first automobile accident today. And boy, lemme tell ya something.. it just takes a lot outta you emotionally... i'm still feeling distraught about it all.... Ummm... maybe the correct feeling is more like numb...

and it wasn't even my car.. but this happened on the job when i was driving a couple of clients home. No one got hurt... thank goodness... but i still cant believe it happened. And i think what makes me feel worse is that it was basically all my fault too. I did stop at the stop sign.. but when i crossed the intersection.. BAMM! Stupid, dumb me is all i gotta say. Everything got squared away with the police and everything... and everyone else got home safe and sound...

but like anyhow, while the other van got hit really hard.. its weird.. my van that i was driving.. didn't get any major dents... but more like A LOT of paint scrapes... one of the back lights got a little smashed... and the bumper kinda got a little distorted near the end... and oh yeah... something went wrong with the tire.. like a bolt fell out or something.. cuz like... while i was driving back to work.. someone was beeping at me... telling me that my tire was all wobbaly.. and that it was about to fall off. GOOD GRIEF!! I ended up having to call a tow truck...

And oh wellz, i aint really looking forward going into work tomorrow... cuz like i just feel totally ashamed about the whole thing.. thats all... and while ppl will be happy that no one got hurt.. their not gonna be happy the damage that was done to the van tho.... cuz even tho there werent any major dents to it all... it still looks a little bruised.. and ugly with the paint scrapes and everything...

Boy, i just wanna pretend this whole thing never happened...

Hmm sounds pretty minor accident wise most of the those large vans flip over when hit or in major accidents ( i know i been in one that almost fliped when a tire blew). Your work will be probs somewhat miffed about the damage but ur luicky to not of done any frame damage nor was anyone hurt. Safe to say the most important thing is you are well and tho abit unhappy. Least it was ur car =X.

sux.


at least now you've gone through it so you know. my first accident, i felt so freaking helpless.... that's not a good feeling. It's all routine now. *doh* good thing no one got hurt that's usually the important thing.
