third times a charm

An interesting thing happened today... but I'm not going to tell yall. You'll have to ask me (via IM, phone, etc.) to find out. heh heh.

Today also holds the second and third almost pretty bad event in my parent's car. Apparently, me driving my parent's car is a potential wreck magnet. The other day as I was leaving McAlister's, this girl was pulling in as I was coming to the exit. As I start to turn to leave I realize that the chick is totally driving on the completely wrong side of the exit; and had it not been for quick braking on both sides, it woulda been a head-on accident. There was a passenger in my car, so that woulda been even worse. Her (the other drivers') expression was priceless, though. Anyways. #2: I was in the turn lane to get off 72 and onto Perimeter. Well, the light was red and the people were turning left, so I stopped. Well, I glance into my rearview mirror **and behold!** there was a Jeep Wrangler rushing quickly upon me. I was totally bracing for impact; but thankfully he came to a complete stop before slamming into me... only an inch or two away, yes; but at least his car wasn't was stopped by mine. The third... this one was kinda my fault due to a bad call in judgement. I was going down the road (I can't remember which it was) and in front of me I see a line of cars coming to a stop: around three or four. The one in the front was turning left and there was absolutely no traffic coming the other way, so I'm like, "I won't slow down too much 'cause they'll be going by the time I get there" ... wrong. The moron apparently thought you had to come to a complete stop, wait three seconds, and then drift evr so slowly into your turn. This consequently resulted in the other two or three cars having to come to a complete stop: something I wasn't anticipating. I practically slammed on the brakes, **but alas!** I couldn't stop fast enough. Thankfully, there was no oncoming traffic, so I just used the other lane for some extra stopping room. It was close though. I would've hit the guy going like, 15 or 20 mph had I had nowhere to swerve to. But yeah, the moral of the story(s) is to watch out for bad drivers, brace for impact, and keep a keen eye on the road.

ADDITION!!

When I made this post I totally forgot to put anything about work today. Not only was it a slow day that went by fast (my favorite), Nancy had me working on the sandwich line today, which is cool 'cause I've kinda rather been wanting to. But yeah. That's all I had to add.
