So, How Has Your Day Been? [View all]

Hope well. Mine, not so much.
At around 6:50, I got a call from a school 18 miles away that they needed a 8th grade math sub. They start school at 7:45.
So, I hurry to get ready, jump in the car and head there. I called them at a red light letting them know I'd be there before the first class but not "on time".
As I'm turning down a lane in their parking lot, BAM!!!.
HS aged girl hits me broadside. Just jetted out of the spot she was in as I was turning.
Given the low speed, my door is pretty screwed up.
Hope your day has been better than mine.
