| fine. here's a reeeal update.
Basically, orientation at GCC was pretty awesome, except that I met this one reeeally nerdy guy that was going on about his life-size cardboard cutout of han solo. yeah. my thoughts exactly. I mean, I consider myself somewhat nerdy sometimes with the whole anime thing, but SERIOUSLY. a poster of amanda bynes is as far as I've gone, and that's just being a guy. Anyway, the rest of orientation was nerd-free, and the lunch was good.
In other news, I guess I should tell my car accident story. Okay, basically, this summer I didn't want to get a full time job because I got a lot of money from graduation. Sooo, I got a job valet parking. It's a contracting company so we do a bunch of different jobs at different places, and this one was at the columbia country club. So yeah. I can't really drive stick, see..and they asked me to go pick up this guy's really expensive jaguar. So I get into the car, and see that it's a stick shift. I think, hmm well I've done this like twice ever, but I don't wanna run all the way back. yeah, I think I can just ride the clutch there. YEAH RIGHT. I start the car, and put in the break and the clutch. take off the parking break. put it into first gear. the car is really loud at this point, like screaming "you'd think I was a v12!" i turn the wheels alll the way to the left (which is AWAY from the cadillac, as you see from the diagram below). And then....

...I'm not really sure what happened. All I know is that I did something very wrong and the jaguar, disregarding the direction the wheels were turned, rammed right into the cadillac.
so, in mastercard terms,
dented front cadillac door - $1500
scratched and dented back cadillac door - $1500
dented front corner of jaguar - $2000
rental cars to drive the owners around - $1000
realizing that I not only had crashed the two most expensive cars in the parking lot, but also had crashed into the guest of honor's cadillac (celebrating 50 wonderful years of marriage) - priceless.
Oh and by the way, I didn't have to pay anything, the owners were cool with it, and my bosses were cool with it. Once again, I escape unscathed.
Edit for Michy: Oh yeah, and Jr. Camp was awesome...umm I made a shirt. lol |
