target -> me.

yeah, everything is BAU. just another monday. period.

after an almost-perfect weekend (how i wish i was talking abt it now!) i wake up on this wonderful day to a mind-numbing surprise - i cant find my car. in my covered parking spot. inside the apartment, this 'closed community'. first reaction - oh fk its stolen!. second -and the correct- thought - waitaminute wat if someone towed it?

they confirmed they have her. 138-TLJ. T as in Taken, L as in Lost and J as in a fuckin Joke!

WTF happened? y did the guy at the apartment give me this spot if it was assigned to someone else? the apartment office doesnt open until 10AM, here i'm hoping i wont lose my cool n give that peabrain more than a fair helping of a piece of my mind.

breathe, slow n steady. just concentrate on breathing. for now.

update : shez hurt! :'-(

ok, here's an update!

at around 11, i (finally) get out of the call with the ever-impatient business partner, hijack robins car to storm into the apartment office, shout the morons head off, and create a scene.

only to find the whole road to the apartment cordoned off! cops everywer, police lines, lots of ppl. two cars...one full size SUV and another intermediate sized sedan...both overturned and smashed to wrecks...obvious casualties, insurance guys around, major havoc. i reach the office after 15 minutes of zigzagging thru the side roads, with a blank mind. tell this guy the story, he takes down the details, assures me he will take care of it, the car will be back, i wont hafto pay anything.

hopefully she will be back by evening. the guy said he will call me. no souts, no scene. i guess i had a better morning compared to those guys in the accident. i can wait for her.

@ QC: :( apparently they tow for fun. i dont have a clue.

@ because of b: my money? wer is it? the bank doesnt claim to have any. what my money r u talking abt? ;)

the guys in the drive-thrus here shud definitely fall under the Lowest IQ tribe! after almost a month, i decide to indulge in a double quarter pounder w/cheese, they ask me repeatedly for the order, n gimme two quarter pounders. duh! my day is getting better and better and better.

updates, updates, updates:

the apartment guy says the slot was incorrectly given to me, there was a 'typo' in the sheet...wat typo huh? unoccupied vs. occupied? newez he will take care of the towing charges, but now asking me to go pick the car up. from 18 miles away. from work. yeah rite.
the fight is on.

n wen i stepped out to breathe some fresh air, wat do i see? a major collision in the parking lot at the office! two of our own guys too! apparently one guy was speeding out of the lot and hit side-on to another one coming in. ine car will hafto be totalled, the air bag came out and the front is smashed. not a good day for cars. not a good day at all.

could have happened to me. she goes fast in the lot too. that brat. :)

oops,
Hope you gave the guys a piece of your mind, both apt fellah, and the guy who got it towed.
You should probably sue the tow-ers for hurting her :--)
