A uncommon weeks ago I was in the back of a police van going to a meeting. Affirmative - you interpret correctly!

Let me back up a moment. I was driving in my sassy tiny sports machine to appropriate a client and suddenly...

WHAM!

..I was broadsided by a enormous motor lorry as he tried to modify lanes (without shoulder checking or using his mirrors) and he pushed my automobile into the turning lane. It's funny. As soon as my motorcar was hit - I knew prerrogative what he had done. I tried to amuse absent of the driver's door (no luck - it was crushed) so I crawled outside the passenger door (no skirt that day!) and had a eyeful at the damage.

Oh yeah - it was pathetic - the full left side of my vehivle was crunched, and the back boundary was torn off. The other chauffeur walked up to me and asked whether I was OK - and he shakily said...

"I'm so sorry -I due didn't contemplate you." To which I replied, "It's OK - accidents happen."

I crawled into the backseat, stilettos and all, and enjoyed a guide correctly to the front door of Starbucks (Ask me how clever that must retain looked!).

I told the police officer as we were driving: I assume I must be maturing - as I haven't cried or sworn once! She laughed and told me she had never seen someone so halcyon ...and then she whispered I'd cry provided I had a feverish car allied that.

I realized that yet though I was hit by another car, and it was going to be in the entity shop for 2 months - I was OK. I wasn't bunged up and neither was the other guy. You dependable alteration to Intendment B and motion forward.

So What About My Forgotten Client?

Well - as I make-believe my grand entrance - there she was. Karen had stayed a diminutive longer as she concluding I was running delayed (no kidding) and we had a useful meeting. She drove me to a rental spot. I rented the One vehicle they had - a bulky mom-style soccer van...and I drove to fit my cohort David for dinner.

At 3 pm I was getting crunched in a car accident and at 6 pm I was eating hummus.

I'm a fortunate canary and so are you.

So there.
