Backed into a superior’s car in the parking lot at my job, after a 10 hour night shift and a 1-and-a-half hour meeting. Insurance exchanged. Cops called. She tried to calm me down but I am so beat up about it and feel like an absolute idiot. Occasionally having to stifle tears. Looks like minor paint damage but with these shitty plastic builds who knows. Have liability insurance. My car got the worst of it, but idgaf about cosmetic damage. I just hate that in my sleep deprived state I was forced to get into that death-trap by the way our infrastructure is set up and wound up in my first collision in my life. No one hurt, she wasn’t in the car at the time. At home but still on edge as fuck. I can’t let something so dumb make me destitute again.
Have any of you been in a minor scrape like this? At-fault or otherwise? Did it go ok? I’d appreciate experiences in part so I feel less like a total dumbass.
Sleep deprivation on the road can be more dangerous than driving drunk or high fr, but it’s not talked about as much, probably because a major reason drivers are sleep deprived is because of their jobs :^) I’m also sorry to hear that, that sounds incredibly frustrating.
Fortunately, there seems to be a recurring problem of a very large portion of the class not making it to class, meaning the professor is often loath to cover too many topics for fear of excluding too many people. I just went to class today and while we still covered some new stuff, half the examples were stuff that she had already covered weeks before like proving set equality and proofs by induction. Then again, those concepts can be deceptively simple when you learn how it works generally but are kind of a brain fuck once you try to apply it to specifics.
