• You ever have a feeling like you shouldn't be at work one day? I had that feeling, as soon as I stepped out of my car at my work's parking lot. Of course since I was already at work, I wasn't going to go ahead and turn the car around now was I? Twenty minutes later, the company vehicle I was driving all of a sudden had some kind of problem, so I had to put it aside for repairs. We needed that vehicle at that time too. So I got on another vehicle, and ten minutes later, I was making this tight turn and I apparently ended up hitting the parked car next to me. I thought I had clearance, but clearly not enough. There was a small dent on the other car, and the car I was driving had a few scratches and nothing more. However, even though the damages were miniscule, the accident still needed to be documented. This also means that for the time being, I lost my driving privilages at work.

  The problem now is that I usually work the graveyard shift. The graveyard shift requires me to be authorized to drive at work. So for the time being I cannot work the graveyard shift since I am now on a "investigatory suspension." I'll have to work the swing or late swing shift instead, for however long it'll take for them to decide on whether I'm authorized to drive at work again. The other option was that I wouldn't be able to go to work until they decide on the matter, which I humorously accepted since I can just consider that some mandatory time off. Unfortunately; or fortunately depending, I am going to be tossed into those late swing shifts afterall.

  I'm hoping they come up with a decision soon, so I know how much adjusting I need to do in regards to my time on days that I work. Bleah, I'll have to actually deal with a little bit of traffic going to work again.
