As I was walking out the door this morning, I got a phone call from a co-worker to let me know that she was calling out sick. It wasn't a big deal, because today was only a half day at work. I think the doctors were all going out to play golf in some sunny destination. Not really, they had some conferences to attend. Anyway, back to the story...
So I was cruising along on I-84 when I looked in my rear view mirror & all I saw was some guy tailgating me so badly that I could only see from his steering wheel up! I was easing off the gas & onto my break when I felt a bump & I lost control of my car. I spun 180 degrees, sliding into the median where I came to rest point up the slope, toward traffic. I tried to drive the car up the embankment to no avail. I was lodged in by the snow. I walked up the slope to the side of the highway, where to my surprise, 2 other people stopped to see if I was ok. No one was able to get a tag number off the car that bumped me. Right after he did it, he hit the gas & took off. Jackass.
It cost a small fortune to get my car winched out, but I got to hang out with a very cool NYSP officer. He was sharing his funnier tales of the highway. There are stupid people out there! He was amazed that there was no damage to the car. The way he figured it, the car was so close when it hit me that the force wasn't as bad.
I went to work for a couple hours, where I was completely out of it. I just came home with a huge desire to crawl back into bed for the rest of the day. Which is what I plan to go do now.
