Basket of Thoughts

Had a minor fender bender this morning on my way to work. More embarrassing than anything else though thankfully. I was driving on my way to work and was heading into a rotary. There was a van in front of me and as getting near entry of it I was looking to my left over my shoulder at traffic to see an opening. I was slowly creeping while doing this, when I had last looked the van in front of me was going into the rot… BOOM! I slammed on my brakes, looked forward and dammit all, the van hadn’t gone into the rotary. I’d rear ended him… I put on the hazards and hit the brakes. Took a look at the back of the van, no damage. Checked front of my car. License plate bent on the bottom, top corner of it a screw popped out cocking it but able to push back in so no damage. I asked the guy if he was ok, he was. I was ok as well, more upset at myself than anything. I didn’t think was any reason for cops or any of that but the other guy had to report it because he worked for a company. I understood that. State trooper came and took a look and said didn’t need to make a report as he could tell no major damage. I thank the Lord for that as it could’ve been much worse. I hadn’t even thought of it but the guy who was driving the van when he got out noticed I hadn’t been going very fast as the airbags hadn’t gone off. Good point, sir. That would’ve really put my day to shit. Thanking the Lord for that too! Other than that, felt I had a relatively productive day at work. Shit can get difficult when answering calls, entering data, troubleshooting, switching between emails and creating orders. Lots of stuff going on, haha! but the place is great. I love who I work with and they treat us well. I’ve never seen anyone get called out directly for screw ups or heard or seen anyone get reamed out. I feel that is how things should be done. Nobody likes to be publicly shamed. I have no problems for accountability and things like that but its much better practice when done in private. I’m hoping to have a strong year for writing on here. Just before I started this post I was looking at my previous overall posts by year and realized that come October this year, it will be 5 years! I couldn’t believe it. It felt like it had only been a couple but how wrong I was. Back to back days writing on here so it’s a good start. Hoping I can stay more committed to it. We both deserve it.
