Oh, so close...

24 hours from now I'll be sitting at my home-home in front of the fire staring at my Christmas tree! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I take my last final at 10 am tomorrow morning and then begin the 7 hour drive home, but even that doesn't bother me. Why? Cause I'm going HOME!!

This break is going to be filled with family and friends, as well as not so fun things like getting my wisdom teeth out (more on that later) and getting my car fixed.

Speaking of my poor car: I finally got a hold of the idiot truck drivers company and spoke to their insurance representative. My goal was to have all of this cleaned up quick, fast and in a hurry, however, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. When I spoke with her, she said that I needed to get an estimate (which I knew) but then she said that since we had differing ideas of what happened, she wouldn't be able to do anything until she got a police report and did some investigating.


This statement lead her to ask this question,

"So it's your position that he was backing up when he hit you?"

"No, it's not my position, It's what happened! His reverse lights were on, he was beeping and coming backwards! He was backing up!!! There were two witnesses that can testify to that and I might add that if this isn't cleared up they will be testifying to this in court."

Now, as I've said before, I don't do confrontation, I don't like being mean, etc. But this whole situation is so frustrating. They are trying to jerk me around until I get frustrated and give up on the whole thing, but little do they know, I don't give up!

Really I'm just annoyed that the truck driver didn't tell the truth. I mean, it's very cut and dry. He reversed into me - where is the wiggle room in that!? Just tell the truth! This is Ala-freaking-bama! You know like the song "Down Home" says, "where a man's good word and a hand shake is all you need..." :) Apparently he didn't get that memo!

Okay, jumping off the soapbox, but fair warning: I don't see this being resolved anytime soon, so you'll probably get these "venting posts" periodically.

Anyway, I'm going HOME tomorrow!!!
