It's like nothing had really driven home that I've completely wasted the last seven (really more like twelve) years of my life, until this point yesterday.



This encompasses how completely lost I feel right now.

An uninstalled two post lift?

I spent the first half of yesterday uninstalling it and there's just something about having it sitting in pieces in the quonset hut instead of in-use in the shop that has me pretty depressed today.

My boss literally just used me getting rear-ended just outside the parking lot here at work as excuse to give me an ultimatum: Move to the GTA by Dec 10th or find another job because he thinks my commute is the problem and it's like bitch I didn't even make it 500m from the office.

Anyways, next morning pictures:




At this point I hope it gets totalled instead of repaired. It's tracking to the right and there's no way it'll ever be like it was before the hit again.

How's that legal? Have you been missing work a lot or something? Or just late a lot?

I am the only person who is routinely on time/early to work. I'm not missing work either, he just thinks I'm gonna get killed on the roads due to the fact I'm driving 4 hours a day.

Reality: Two days ago I decided this job isn't worth it and have already been sending out resumes, I have zero plans on remaining here for more than the time it will take me to find another job.

E: Just got off the phone with my broker, I do have depreciation coverage and comprehensive on the Kia, because it was required for my financing, fingers crossed the car gets totalled.

I heard back from my insurance company today. Adjuster spoke to the appraiser and it's been decided the Forte's repairable and that it'll take about three weeks.

I hate the rental accord, it's literally mediocrity in car form.

So, I just got a packet in the mail from my insurance company. At first I thought it was gonna be the estimate for the repairs on the Forte (which the appraiser decided was repairable and will be returned to me in about three weeks). Turns out it was my policy for next year.

A year's insurance for the Forte? $514 ($387.71 for you dirty Southerners). That's with comprehensive coverage and depreciation protection as required by my financing, so not even lowest legal coverage. Admittedly there's another balance of $99, but that's for the transfer of coverage and due now as opposed to in January.

Also I never got my letter of "YOU DID A BAD THING" from the MTO for getting a ticket with demerit points, and my insurance company's notation on my driving record is identical to last year. I'm starting to wonder if the Caledon Courts just took my $240 and never actually reported my conviction...

Where do you live? Prices like that are typically found in areas with public insurance. When I lived in BC I was quoted $650 for my windshield, got the exact same one in Alberta for $240

e: somehow missed the rental part. You would get hosed on that one way or another. Will your credit card help out?

+1 for Anker. Rush is also good. There's a few brands we stock at work that are good but 90% or more of cables, even some Foxconn-made ones, are garbage.
