Today was interesting. Went to clean the totalled car out this morning - they open at 7:30 so we were there a bit before, and went down and got everything once they were open. It's a bit worse-looking than I realized from Scott's description, but not bad. The bumper was yanked down at a sharp angle, as was the trailer hitch (basically torn loose and angled maybe 45 degrees). The plate to which the trailer hitch was attached had pulled down a bit.
The right rear body area wasn't sheltered completely by the bumper and had bits of reddish-pink paint on it and some crumpling. Some portion of the action (probably the downward pull from the plate the trailer hitch was on, I would guess) had managed to buckle the back of the car very subtly. Where the trunk fastened, it bowed inward, less than half a centimeter but enough to be visible when looked at from below. Also enough to make opening the trunk annoying but not impossible - it was just reluctant.
Very very glad Scott did not drive that anywhere except into his friend's driveway. I seriously doubt it was road-safe, that plate was added to brace it in the first place.
Work was interesting. Design meetings, and I now have to document up a major enhancement by Thursday so we can start the commenting process, but I should be able to do it in a couple or four hours tomorrow. Wish me luck finding them....
Scott dropped me off this morning (as the car place is much closer to where I work than where he works - though where he works is closer to home), so he picked me up this evening. From 10 am on, I'd been in meetings, running to meetings, juggling phones and email, and the like. At 5:00 I come in the door to my office, knowing he will be there, and he is. And I did the obligatory email run, shut everything down, and then asked him if he would please-kindly take my lunch box and my laptop out to the car so I didn't have to juggle them....
...because I hadn't peed since 10 am and I was not leaving the building without stopping in the restroom.
Did some weeding in the back yard tonight. Not as much visible progress as I'd like (I would like to use psionics to just lift all the weeds up and drop them in the yard debris container, all at once, so I realize my expectations are a bit on the high side) but enough, anyway, that I feel like I accomplished something, which is good.
Time now for bed, since I'd like to be awake enough to document enhancements tomorrow....
And you know, most of the problems from this morning may be fixed, as the status site says, but I still can't get into this site reliably or post when I want to. So color me extremely unthrilled. Anyway, this was written at about 9 at night, I'll try to post it again in the morning, as I am going to bed now.
