Go Back To Bed? Or Not
I may just flip a coin, I cannot decide
whether to go back to bed and start the day over or just ride out the
rest of the day and hope things get a little less chaotic!
Today was a day that I have been
waiting on for several weeks...........time to get my car fixed! YAY!
Things started off great, I headed to
Amarillo in plenty of time to make my appointment, in fact I arrived
10 minutes early! And then things just got squirrelly from there
First bobble in the day:
The manager that I had been dealing
with was not there and I talked to the owner, whose first question
was “How long did he say this would take?” I said 2-3 days and
he smiled and said “oh it will probably take longer than
that.......fact is 3 days would be pushing it” Oh Great! I replied
that not only was that what his manager had said but also what the
insurance company had estimated...........he replied “Oh the
insurance company always low balls things, this will probably take
longer and cost more”. Oh Great!
The car rental people arrived on time,
YAY! They picked me up and we went back to the rental office.
Second bobble in the day:
During the “check out” process they
discovered that my drivers license had expired! Oh great and I am
two miles or more from the DL office. They were kind enough to take
me there and told me to call as soon as I was done and they would
pick me back up! YAY!
Third bobble in the day:
At the DL office I am in and out in
less then 15 minutes! It was a miracle! I have been there before
and it is usually an hour or more! I called the rental place and
they tell me they will tell my agent and she will be right there to
pick me up....................45 minutes later, I call again – she
answers the phone and says “are you done?” I said yes, and I was
done when I called 45 minutes ago...........oops she didn't get the
message. Five minutes later she is there to get me, YAY! Especially
since by this time I am cold and I need a bathroom!
Fourth bobble in the day:
We get back to the rental place and
while finishing up the processing I find out since I have liablity
only insurance I need to purchase full coverage from them at $19.99 a
day (don't forget the body shop just informed me that it is going to
take LONGER than 3 days to fix my car!), Now since this accident was
not my fault and the other drivers insurance is paying for repairs
and the rental...........we call them to see if they will cover the
insurance................oops! They forgot to read me the part of
the script that says they will NOT pay for any additional insurance!
And since my car is already at the body shop and I am TECHNICALLY
stranded at the rental car place and 15 miles from my
house...............yep I get to PAY for the insurance!
While I can't really start the day
OVER............I so think I will take a nap!
