Yesterday morning after faculty devotions a request was made that we move our cars from the parking lot up onto the hill so that the parking lot would have fewer cars. Because of parent-teacher conferences, there was a noon dismissal. The traffic tends to be particularly bad on noon dismissals. So I went down to move my truck. I was in a hurry because school was going to start in ten minutes and I didn’t want to be late.
Well, lots of people were passing through the lot after dropping kids off and I had trouble finding an opening. Finally someone stopped to let me out and I pulled out quickly… only to have the bumper of my co-worker’s parked car scrape down the side of my truck. AAAHHH! Fortunately, the damage to her car wasn’t REAL bad. She was a good sport when I told her about it. Unfortunately, the damage to my truck WAS bad. It was the passenger side — the side opposite the damage that happened in June. grrrr! Stupid, stupid Brad. If I just would have left the truck where it was…If I just would have driven more slowly…
Ouch. I’m very sorry. Is there anything I could say that would help? I’m very sorry.
I’m sick to my stomach when I look at it. You’ve had that truck less than a year. That’s what you get for “doing the right thing” and moving your car to help others. God will surely remember that! By the way – if we ever go anywhere together again, I’ll drive!
