i'm being screwed...can't even conceptualize how serious this might be... trying to stay positive and trust that everything will work out.
apparently the little tap to this guy's bumper rendered his car inoperable and rather than having it fixed, he claimed it as a total loss; then, because he uses his car for work, he filed a workers' comp claim for lost wages; and to top it all off, he was injured in a prior accident and his condition was "aggravated" by our accident, so he has medical expenses totaling well over my coverage limits.
this is such bs.... i hit him at less than 20mph.
so, i get a letter from my insurance company yesterday about an accident i had over a year ago. First of all, let me just say the accident was MINOR... i haven't even bothered with my repairs since they're so slight. i felt horrible about hurting this guy's car. it was a 1973 black bug with original plates and of course i had to destroy the plate.. plus the freaking engine is in the back, so my little tap on his back bumper made the car go kaputt. he already gauged me with the repairs, making my premium skyrocket... now there's more??
this bs letterinforms me the attorney for the "injured claimant" has requested they release my policy limits. WHAT?!!!????? the (&#$*^) ??!!! an attorney?? they're concerned the injuries may exceed my policy limits even though they have no evidence of injury. EXCUSE ME?!! a year later, he's suddenly developed injuries? there's no way in hell he was actually hurt.
plus, left my phone at home, so i can't even call to find out what's going on til monday. URGH!!
so much of my brain is used processing other people's thoughts, i spend far too much time in other people's heads and not enough in my own. (my one original thought).
yesterday was my first day at a new yob interpreting law school at ucla. woohoo... absolutely love it! and, I actually get to think! although i believe i'm over talking about pandering to the prurient interests.. new topic please!
So proud of you Jason!!! Congratulations on the new job, the new apt.. send me pics of both, so i can post, along with a pic of you... might as well play matchmaker while i'm at it. Love you!!!
woohoo.. just got back from an amazing conference/retreat in the wisconsin dells.. stayed in a cute little cabin called the castle on the top bunk of a little bunk bed and shared a room with 5 other women (got to relive those fun childhood camp memories).
went to cool workshops, played with drums, performed, meditated, took walks amid towering pine trees, all while learning to be a good little lesbian witch.
even played in "amazon acres," learned how to use all the most important weapons: tomahawk, spear, and bow and arrow. my favorite was the archery! totally relaxed....transformed...feel like myself again!! i'll post some pics as soon as i have time to download.
dear mr. stuffy corporate dude,
after attending the mandatory sensitivity training today, i believe you must be confused at best and perhaps even delusional. Having taught diversity trainings in my past, I'm rather familiar with the agenda and i'm pretty sure beginning an hour sensitivity/diversity training with a 20-minute diatribe about the company's other business ventures was not exactly beneficial, nor was the 15- minute explanation of the company's drug/alcohol policy and your perogative to randomly test.
you can't seriously think a couple sentences tossed in here and there about how we all need to get along will somehow teach us how to become more sensitive. clue to those of you sitting in your little white world in corporate mid-america: perhaps you should send someone trained, someone with even a modicum of experience. yeah, sending in a white woman who talks like she's never spent more than a couple of minutes with a person of color just because she's the hr director... not the smartest... especially when training employees in california. also, since you have so many bglt employees and have a non-discrimination clause protecting us, perhaps your trainer should have done a little homework and learned how to be a little more sensitive herself before trying to teach tolerance. i have a sexual orientation, not a sexual preference and i don't have a disease!!! don't begin your sentence talking about being tolerant to those who have diseases and then use people with a different "sexual preference" as an example. you want an example of a hostile work environment sweetie?? well, you just got one.
