SO let me start this off by saying Im not looking for pity or any type of sadness for my situation. Ive had to deal with a shitty life pretty much thus far so its no big to deal with it for a bit longer. I really just wanted to share how amazingly bad some days can be for people. Maybe you can share some stories or at least get a laugh at how bad shit can get.
That said heres my story.....
a little background.
job #1: Dj - under the table and only maybe 10 hours a week at 10 per, so not much
job #2: porn store - just work register at the local porn store, barely been there a month.
I used to work at a local parts store but got laid off three times at 2 locations, from that company. That was about 2 years ago and ive been out of work for the most part since then. I also dont have my own place and couldnt afford one without a job anyway. I havent gotten unemployment for alot of different reasons but Im gonna get into that.
Onward....
Woke up fine maybe a bit tired from working two jobs, but still apprehensive because my boss at job #2 had taken my keys for improper closing procedure on my first night closing alone. My manager felt that my reasoning was legit but the owner had issues with it. Regardless I felt entitled to second chance, and woke up and called my boss numerous times to no avail. after finally getting a hold of him after at least 10 calls he tells me that the owner isnt budging and he has to let me go. My last check was already ready.
Now at this point Im kinda upset because I was really looking forward to adding to my s13's and I had already spent some money on a diff and some suspension pieces that I may have held off on if I had known I wouldnt be at the job for long.
Anyway on with my life.
and I have to go to job #1 wich is over about 30 some odd miles of one of the most twisty and notoriously dangerous roads in nor-cal.
I was following traffic, minding my own business, my Gf behind me in her IS300. Out of nowhere the lady in the honda accord in front of me decides to come to dead stop on the freeway, the closest car in front of her being about 5 lengths and traffic wasnt even stopped just slowing.
I slam on my brakes (Q45s). They lock and I slide about 20 feet due to bald front tires and going downhill, right into her rear bumper.
Now due to the fact that she was slamming to a halt my silvia front end slid almost under her car and demolished my headlights and taco'd my hood. Of course nothing happened to her car with the extent of her damage being some primer on her bumper.
Now I would really like to tell you that that was the end of this terrible, horrible, no good, very, bad, day but theres one more peice to this pity puzzle.
I get to work at job#1, obviously distraught at the loss of my healights and hood and new curve to mu upper radiator support, and realize I cant get my hood open. With the help of the GF yanking the hood release (insert joke here).
Finally get the hood open.
Survey the damage.
Realize I cant close the hood.
Solution: Zipties
I figured 2 heavy duty zipties would hold for the trip back over the hill home, but apparently I was wrong. So just to spurt a little icing on my cream pie of a crappy day my hood decide to invert itself over my windshield and roof, while Im on the twisty dangerous freeway I told you about before, Yay me!
So due to my James Bond-esque driving skills and pure luck I manage to pull over and back down the freeway into a turnout.`
Zipties to the rescue again.....
This time I put about 16 zipties to anything I can manage to get them through. Just to be sure that I dont have the same incident twice. I make it the rest of the way home without a hitch, half expecting to get pulled over for my cracked windshield or newly missing rearview mirror since my hood knocked in into the back seat.
Now when this first happened I wanted to cry, actually I may have. But know I can look back on it and kinda laugh. I guess it just goes to show what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? And now I have the chance to do some of the things to my car that I didnt do the first time around.
I Hope this story at least makes some of you laugh or if your having a shitty day maybe it wont seem as bad.
Do what you have to do to make yourself happy. Fuck everyone else.
Peace
On a side note this car had zero damage before this day lol
