Worst Week Ever!

Saturday - Crack Windshield
One morning after work I’m driving with my mates in the car, following another mate of mine. My mate decides it would be a great idea to moon with his ass to the car in-front. But my windshield couldn’t take the godly sight of his ass resulting in a unfixable crack. My mate said he will pay for the damages. I got a quote from AutoGlass starting from some figure around £700 down to £360, this still is expensive.

Monday - Crash into my mates car
Last minuet plan to go into Hanley to Club it up with a few of my friends from work seems like a great idea. I called another oen of my friends who lives in Stoke-On-Trent which is near the city centre Hanley.
We both took our cars into the centre, as I was following him someone infront of him slammed there breaks on to turn right into a petrol station resulting in my mate slamming his breaks on to avoid hitting him, I was forced to slam on my breaks also which locked up my wheels skidding me 5-8 meters from about 30mph. Unfortunately my mates car was a little less then stopping distance. Resulting in me hitting into the rear passenger side end of his car. His car suffers a 3 inch long gash on the bumper with a few pain scratches. I lose an entire headlamp casing and bend my framework and bumper. I tried my best to avoid by attempting to turn into the pavement side obviously with failed results.
I offered my friend a repair to his bumper, but he refused and wants to claim on my insurance for a new bumper for his BMW Mk3, the repair cost would have been less then £100 as my dad is in the bodyshop repair industry.
My car on the other hand, I haven’t even got a quote for yet as I’ve been trying my best to find a quote for my friends car.

Thursday - Non-Attendance Fine
I’m reminded I have to pay an £80 fine for not attending a meeting to get diagnosed if im dyslexic or not. I failed to attend due to incorrect time orginsed for me.

Friday - No sleep due to allergy
After working a profitable night at Love2Love I go home to try and get some sleep but failed to sleep due to an allergic reaction to something.

Saturday - Parking Fine
For the last few weeks I’ve been working at a brand new Nightclub that only opened this month. I’ve mostly had no problem in parking right outside of the venue.
With commitments to work I offered to help clean some back of house rooms at the venue on this saturday. After working a busy friday night finishing somewhere in the small hours of the morning I left for home to try and get some sleep which unfortunately I couldn’t. Without sleeping, I had to be back at the venue for 12noon to help this cleaning job I offered to do.
When I came to the parking lot there where no spaces available. not even ones which where legal without markings. So knowing that the closest parking lot charges up-to £20 for the whole day and closes at a designing time and that i’ll be at this venue until the next day. I needed a parking space. A quick reverse back up the road and found a huge part of land with three cars on it, and a nice little Indian curry house looking onto it which was closed at the time.
I parked on this land closest to the venue without obstructing any other access to this area and went off to work.
I was asked to leave and go for a shower and get ready for the night shift at 5pm so taking this opportunity, I did. But coming back to my car I found a Yellow Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) on my windshield. Obviously that first word that comes into your mind when you get a PCN! 5|-|!T. Opening it up stating “EXTRA SECURITY PARKING OFFENCE PENALTY NOTICE £90″ £90!!! thats three times more then what I earned in the time of me being there.
I obviously was angered from this especially knowing that I currently can not pay £90.
I came home and quickly googled for some details about this company only finding a telephone number, which I noted on the ticket for me to call first thing Monday before going to work again.
Hopefully Monday I will not see the new Hell colour Yellow on my windshield again.
I submitted this story on http://www.majicari.com to see if people like my story enough to pay for my fine.

Hey, just thought I would let people know that my blogging life is made much easier using a Application called Blogo. Blogo allows me to cut away from work and post to my blog without having to spend the time logging in and fumble around with the administration panel. If your a mac user, give it a try visit DrinkBraindJuice now.

Other news, my night has been random, playing a good game of charlie with Apple Sours. The most random things happened after, mainly involving showers, running around partially naked and oats. Sorry house mates.

I’m back this weekend to work and earn some money as I finally got a car VW Golf and and its eaten all my monies, but its cool ;D

University is almost over only 1 exam and 1 assignment to hand in and I’m all done. YAY.

I’ve been working on a track which is for on of my assignments but I really think it’s club playable too. Yet its not 100% complete yet. I will be posting a few previews of it soon.

Other news I was applying for a job as a graphic designer for the union but I was unsuccessful. as a testing brief i created this.

I’m currently in the stages of redesigning my website Halfcube. Its going to be a portfolio of all my creations I’ve done developed using TextMate, CSSEdit and Ruby on Rails. Other credits go to ZigVersion, Dreamhost andAdobe Photoshop
