Instantcrazy's Journal, 01 February 2015

Feel free to ignore this post. I'm just getting things off my chest. It always makes me feel better to journal here when I'm stressed.

Let me tell you about my day. It snowed last night. Big, wet heavy snow. My day started with being awoken by sirens. LOTS of sirens. I hopped on my police scanner app and learned there was a semi overturned on the interstate about a mile or two away. The girlfriend and I were glued to the scanner listening to all the updates. Turns out it was a tanker hauling 40,000 lbs of dimethylamindproplymine, a flammable material used for making shampoo (which they didn't immediately know because the driver amazingly didn't know what he was hauling, go to jail, go directly to jail). O_O This was about 7am it's now 3pm and they are no where near having it cleared up and have had to evacuate people living in the area. There's some kind of white vapor coming from the trailer. They say it's going to be another 12 hours to clean up.

Anyhoo, we had to go to work. I took the girlfriend to work. Roads were terrible and I was pretty much driving in low gear the whole time. On the way there all of a sudden my car freaks out and I end up careening toward the curb. The curb knocks me back into the left lane of traffic, where I get hit by another car and we both end up in the oncoming lane. Luckily there was no traffic oncoming. Everybody is fine. The girlfriend is sore. Amazingly there wasn't a scratch on either car. It does sound like her alignment is off I HOPE. My car has a bent rim and two broken hubcaps. That's where we're starting anyway. This is either going to be the cheapest wreck I've had or really expensive. Ironically, I had a wreck on January 30, 2014. That wreck wasn't my fault and totaled my car. This car is the replacement and I don't have it anywhere near paid off, but compared to the semi driver and all the emergency personnel, I'm having a good day.
