So I had it made with the new EI rules, right?
Right.
So as I was about to leave the Community Garden this evening, a car pulled up behind mine. Not straight on, bumper to bumper, but at an angle, presenting the side of the car to the rear end of mine. Your correspondant observed this and thought "I'm gonna have to be careful backing out or I'll hit her."
But "her", the other driver, is someone I needed to talk to about the weeding and the raspberries or something, so we had a lengthy conversation, and predictably enough, by the time I got into my car, I had completely forgotten what I thought earlier, and so backed right into her car.
Sigh...
The good news is, only the front quarter panel on her car was damaged (and the bumper on mine, but that's what bumpers are for). The bad news is, I just had to pay an unexpected $220 in overages on my cell phone (from people ignorantly calling me for favours despite being told repeatedly that I don't have unlimited anything and stop wasting my minutes and texts kthxbai), I'm in my EI waiting period, I have no shifts lined up for anything, and I already have an at-fault from 2008 which is still gonna be on my claim history for at least 18 months, and I just really didn't need that.
I guess one may hope that the cost of the repairs will be less than my deductible, in which case I can just pay for it myself (with what money?) and at least my premiums won't go up.
Sigh...
