Cranky Day and Police Chases

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:09 pm

Yesterday, I was in a mood from hell.  I let my anti-depressants run out on accident.  I take them at night before I go to bed, so when I woke up yesterday it had been a full 12 hours already without one.  So, I called them in and in the time until I could pick them up, I managed to get sick about three times and get a raging headache.  I had alot that I wanted to get done yesterday as well.  I was off for the day, and I could have even made it to some cool cardio classes. 

That brings me to the next thing I keep meaning to blog about.  I gave my notice yesterday at work.  I have another job offer with a different firm.  More hours and more money.  I can’t turn that down no matter how much I LOVE the people that I work with now. 

Anyway, so I leave the house around 3 and try to pay some bills and whatever.  So, I go to the ATM machine and try to get some money out.  Apparently when my credit card got lost a few weeks ago and I had to get another one, they re-entered my PIN number wrong.  So after three tries on the machine, my credit card/debit card/only way to access my money for the weekend is canceled until I go in and have it reset.  Yeah, cause I have tons of time for that kind of shit.

Then, Elvee comes home last night in almost as crappy of a mood as I was.  So, we leave to go get a pizza and are pretty much arguing about every little thing cause we are both cranky.  On the way there, we see a truck hit someone and then that person hits someone and so on.  Probably three or four cars were involved.  Well, then the guy in the truck turns off the highway, cuts across an embankment and flees.  So, I call 911 and we go around the back way to the road he got on to see if we could find him.  We drove and I’m telling Elvee that he probably pulled in someplace and ditched the truck.  Sure enough, we drive past this park and ride thing where you park to ride the bus, and there is the truck.  So, we pull up next to it and get the license plate number.  By then another guy that witnessed it all came along and said that he would wait there to see if the guy comes back while we went to tell the officer on the scene of the accident.  Yeah, good Samaritan teamwork!  So, we are on the way to go tell the officer and we see this scruffy guy sneaking around in the hotel parking lot next door.  Elvee says that he remembers the guys shirt color that was driving the truck and that is him.  Oh BOY!  So, we go to the officer on the scene and tell him the whole thing and then we go back to talk to the guy that was waiting for him by the truck.  The guy said that dumb criminal came by and left again but this man took a picture of him!  So, we stay and wait until the officer that is being sent to investigate the truck arrives and we tell him the whole thing.  So, he says that they have the guy in custody and 4 other people stopped and already identified him as the driver.  He took our phone number and will call us if they need further info.  It was so freaking fun.  I really should be a PI.
