I'm so mad at myself today, I don't know what to do.
I needed to stop by the bank this morning on the way to work to deposit a check for Monica where she has been sitting with an eldery patient at night that is dying of lung cancer.
Anyway, I pull into the bank this morning. I see a couple of guys with "questionable backgrounds" (for those familiar with Columbus, I was on S. High St.) All of a sudden I start to hear people yelling (car windows were up). I then don't see the 2 guys. Then all of a sudden I see a bunch more across the street in the mirror. I start looking around looking for the original 2 guys. Then BAM!!!!!I managed to hit the curb at the bank. I'm completely up on the curb. I back off the curb. Now, I have to get out of the car and take a look. Damn tire is flat and the front bumper is scratched up. So now I have to get the stupid jack and temp spare out of the car and change the tire. About that time a school bus pulls and picks all of the kids up. Guess this is the pick-up point for the kids. Doesn't seem like the best place for everyone to be gathering around a bank like that.
Anyway, just cussing myself all day today as I figure I ruined the tire. At least it wasn't new. Got a couple more at home that I can run until it is time to replace the rest of them probably toward fall. Just mad at myself for not paying attention. Well, guess I was, just to the wrong thing. Easier to explain this to the wife vs. had I been checking out a hot blonde.
To add insult to injury. When I walked up to the ATM to deposit the check, I didn't have a deposit ticket with me I planned on doing one of the scan the check deposits where there is no need for a deposit ticket. This ATM didn't do that, so not only did I ruin my tire and scratched my bumper, I wasn't able to deposit the stupid check.
