Ambivalent One

Yesterday I was having a miserable day. I felt like shit mentally.

Then Sears called and told me that my central Vac was ready for pickup. So I went on my lunch break to get it. Picked up Christine from her work on the way because she actually knew where the Sears pick up was located. We were stopped at an intersection waiting to turn on to Nicholas. The car in the photo above was in front of me at the intersection. Then a bus on Nicholas turned left but couldn't fit past us due to the fact that another bus was parked on the road. However the bus kept edging forward and coming closer and closer to this person's car. So they throw it in reverse and back right in to me. They backed right in to me despite the fact that I was leaning on my horn for at least twenty seconds... then after having hit me they stayed there ON my front bumper for what seemed like another twenty seconds while I continued to lean on the horn. The funny part is that even after the bus essentially forced this person to back up the bus still couldn't get past me because there was not enough space between me and the parked bus on the side of the road.

Here comes the bad part. This person in the car above didn't pull over or stop after hitting me. I had to chase them down the road to get this photo. They were going on the highway so I didn't follow them any further. I had my photo and I was just going to file a hit and run report with the police later. I had things to do and if the ass was going to make me chase them they could deal with the consequences.

To this point I hadn't had a chance to look at the damage so I just drove to the Sears pickup center and had a look. Zero damage. Not even cracked paint on the bumper. So I'm happy about that. I'm just not happy that this prick will get away with hitting me and then running away. I don't want to call the police because it would be a waste of my time and theirs. "Hey police person. I was hit by a car and they drove away. There's no damage to my car. Can you throw them in jail or fine them? Take my word for it. They hit me and I have a witness that loves me very much". So if you know this person. Tell them I think their and asshole.

I took solace in the fact that I would get to play handyman when I got home and install our central vac.

But the power went out.

Until two in the morning.

I started installing it this morning before work... I actually lost take of time and ended up being fifteen minutes late for work. My boss understood. But still berated me for my tardiness. I am taking photos of the installation process to show you guys like I usually do when I build or assemble stuff. I'll post the step by step tomorrow for you guys while I'm working. On good Friday.
