Reflections on Gross Neglegence

So, I got into an accident this morning as I was leaving for work. I was in my car a grand total of 30 seconds before I rammed into another car. Brilliant. I simply pulled out of my parking spot too quickly and backed right into a passing pick-up truck. The guy's name was Ray. He was really nice, and accepted my pleadings for forgiveness. I think he is a veteran, which means he could probably kill me with his index finger. Wonderful.

Anyway, I was simply careless. It's funny how something like this will make me feel like a jerk the rest of the day. You tell yourself that accidents happen and that no real damage was done. But, man, I feel like an a**hole.
