Month: April 2001

I got an estimate today on the damage to my car from the other night. What I thought were pretty minor scratches totalled $227.90 in damages. Some people tell me that it’s not worth it, I should just paint over it myself. Some people said that if I went to sell the car at some point, I should take care of it the right way. I decided I would get at least one more estimate from somewhere else, even if I thought the price they would quote would be around the same. So I called up Karen (the girl who hit me) to tell her what I’ve found, expecting her to not take the news so lightly. After all, it is a lot of money — at least for me. She seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing, and she made it sound like the price wasn’t such a big deal. She wanted me to just tell her what it comes out to and she will send a check.

This NorthPoint crisis is going to drive me insanse. I have the whole office sharing a 56K dial-up connection. Our internet service provider doesn’t have any clue when they’ll have a contract with a new DSL network, if ever. The earliest we can be sure we’ll have new DSL is April 19th. We cannot get email in or out of the office, so all the mail is coming into one POP mailbox, and I set up forwarding rules to hopefully distribute the email to the rightful owner. Is anybody else dealing with this?
