"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."

So it was bound to happen...I'm driving down Barranca this morning on my way to work. The truck in front of me stopped on a dime.

I stopped in what should have plenty of time had I not continued skidding on the wet street. I can't believe how far I skidded. It seemed like I kept going and going and...

I bumped into the back of her bumper. We both pulled over and while there was no damage what-so-ever to her truck, I now have the imprint of her square trailer hitch post in my front bumper.

Thankfully there wasn't any bodily harm done, but someone needs to tell her that a black and pastel calf-length skirt should not be paired with a pair of pepto bismol pink hand-crocheted socks, and black high heels. (The socks even had these little handmade pom poms all around the ankle...)

In work news; now that I've been promoted to mid/upper management, I feel really comfortable with the group. Bob and John have been meeting with the girls individually and basically telling that that as of February 1, I'm their new supervisor. I'm feeling a sense of ownership over this job and to a certain degree, my life.

I guess I feel really grown up all of a sudden. I don't have someone telling me what to do all the time. People actually listen to me.
