You know, I thought 2002 was supposed to get better. What a crappy day. Winter came back with a vengeance (out like a lamb? Not so much) and filled the streets of Columbus with the dreaded soupy slush. My parents and I got back from the ATL late on Sunday night, so I spent the night at their place and drove back up to Columbus this morning. The roads were fine all of the way up - wet and cold, but not icy. That changed once I got into the city. I got to Tego's boarders, less than a mile from my apartment, and the parking lot was an inch deep with slushy ice. But it wasn't slick, just wet and gross. I went in to get her, waiting for about ten minutes - it was like a zoo in there. A tiny one filled with domestic animals. Finally I pay (they really get ya) and they bring her out and she's all spazzy to see me and I pick her up so I can carry her outside so her feet won't get sopping wet. We walk outside and I stop and stare at my car. The hood's all buckled up and a piece of my grill is laying on the ground. I stand there for a second, thinking - Did I do that? When did that happen? I walk back inside "Someone just backed into my car." "And left?" the desk manager said. "I think so." She said she'll look and see who left around the time I was in there and call me with their info. T said that I need to become a one-woman investigation unit and I am so all over that. I'm still in shock. My poor little car. Bastards. And the worst part about it, you know, is that even though my insurance will cover it, and they swore it won't affect my rating, I still have to come up with the deductible. It never ends. The notify wants you. And the forum wants you too, fool.
