The Universe is trying to tell Jen something
♥ Comments (36) ♥
friday nite it was rainy here and i had not a good feeling the whole way to nat’s. Cars were driving in the middle of two lanes and people must not have been able to see very well. So while coming around the severe curve of the Museum of Science and Industry a cab was blocking my lane and 1/2 in an intersection. By the time i realized i was going to slam into him it was too late. I had at least been able to throw all my weight on my steering wheel and try to get my car in the direction of the cab rather than try to swerve around him by going into the other lane. So i avoided people from hitting me from the left and behind. This resulted in some smashed headlights and me just being very freaked out. I drive an old old beast of a car, and i am really sort of thankful for her metal around me..and peeling paint.
As you can see i took out a red cab.
So my weekend continues. I was told by 911 friday nite TWICE, that i could go to ANY police station to make a report and that i had 48 hours to do it in. So Nat and I head to Belmont and Western to the police station. Where i was berated, yelled at, and lastly IGNORED by the police officer. Also was yelled at for not going to a police station by the museum. By the end when he had to give instructions on what to do with the report he ignored me and spoke only to Nat who was standing beside me. This all stemmed from me only having the information 911 told me to get from the cab driver. So when he’d ask me for information i didn’t have i’d say “no i only have this” pointing to the paper or “i only have what 911 told me to get fromt he other driver” and he’d yell very loudly at me YES MAME YOU TOLD ME THAT FIVE TIMES NOW. And when i elevated my voice at him he told me not to speak to him like he was my son??????? This whole experice was *so* bad even Nathaniel wanted to get the hell out of there. Once we left i cried for a good 2 hours. I just couldn’t stop. It was awful. The one redeeming thing on saturday we going downtown to meet:
Stacey from Sheep in the City. SHe was visiting for the weekend. Look she had her bag with a blankie stuffed inside. Sorry i didn’t take so many pictures i just enjoyed talking to her for the short time we had. My day had been *that* bad. We both have orange glasses!
We even saw this woman, decked out in designer sweatsuit and UGG boots and tiny little dog shopping in Nordstroms????
So i go home take a nice hot bath and go to bed early. I wake up and tell Nat..i hope the universe will be kinder to me today. COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG.
We come back from brunch drive past my car (which is parked directly in front of nat’s apt building) and my WHOLE driver’s side window is smashed. Nat just stops the car in disbelief and i just start to cry.
Nat found the broken bottle of beer in the passenger side of the car
someone decided to throw a bottle of beer at my window for fun.Thanks. Thanks a lot.
So tomorrow i wake up in fear of now what? Sorry there will not be an etsy update today, possibly some tomorrow but i’m not sure. The universe was trying to take me out or something all weekend. There was no sewing. :(
And even Nat tried to cheer me up with going to Tea Geschwender I felt really sad when i said not even that would cheer me up this weekend.

Oh Gee Whiz, I am SO sorry! What a crappy, crappy weekend experience.
Doesn’t the universe know that weekends are for fun?!
It has to look up from here, right? Just think of M. Ward on ACL and you will feel better.

I can not believe that after we met up someone threw a beer bottle at your car...good grief. Let me just say that our little meet-up was one of the highlights of my weekend. Thanks so much for taking a break and coming downtown to see me! Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely be giving you a call :) I’ve been using my new bird bag ever since we parted, and I love it! I think you need to have one of your very own too!

I’m so sorry to hear about all of your weekend ordeals! I’m glad you survived them all, and I hope this week is extra good to you to make up for it.

Oh Jen! I’m so sorry!! That just totally sucks and I’m sure people have been telling you ‘at least no one got hurt’ so I won’t say it again. :-)
Maybe this means you will have a string of good luck. I hope you do! You deserve it!

What is UP with cops in this city? Our car got into a very minor accident (There was no visible damage, but we wanted to make a report to make sure that if anything did go wrong, we were covered.) a few months ago. We, too, found out that (as long as there aren’t any injuries and it isn’t a major accident) you have 48 hours to report it. We went in the following day and the complete a-hole cop (We went to the one on State around 16th.) just bitched us out and asked why “you people” don’t just report things right away and all of this other stuff. Dude, if you want people to report things right away A) don’t tell them on the phone that they have 24 hours and B) put the “correct” info on your website.
Eek. Sorry for the rant. I just hate it when people feel that they can treat other people horribly because they’re in a position on authority.
