If a certain person would get the facts and find out we didn't make a mistake before he starts lecturing us about not making mistakes, he wouldn't have to spend so much time apologizing. This is twice recently. Next time he better apologise with cupcakes.

And the person who got irritated because I asked for documentation can just get un-irritated because as it turns out he was wrong and it's a good thing I asked for the docs.

I really hate being the bad guy and saying no, but we just don't take vacation the first week of the month and if you only have 5 days, I can't approve 7. Sorry.
I need the weekend to start NOW!

Boy, Linda, you not only need a weekend, sounds like you could use about a week off (that's five days, not seven) yourself!

That will be starting next Friday. We're going to NC to welcome my nieces 3 adopted children to the family. Just. have to hang in a few more days. But it's only 3 days not 5 because I have to save days for later in the year.

I was trying to figure out why today was so unbelievably insane. Then I looked at the calendar. Friday the 13th. Boy is it ever!

You'd never know it's Friday the 13th here....it's been a very quiet day.
Hoping everyone has a good weekend! Enjoy the weather, whatever it is - you're going to get some!

And I dropped my iPhone on the tile. But on the bright side I don't have Linda's employees!
Hope the weekend is good for you Linda.

Apparently Friday the 13th didn't feel the need to limit itself to just one day. On the plus side, just dealt with several difficult cases and think I found a positive resolution to each.

Well, my day did not go any better if that helps. It started well with my bike on top of my car and going to knock out a quick AM ride. With bike on car total height = 8.5 feet. Enter parking garage by gym...marked 13 plus feet. Plenty of clearance so enter and turn make immediate right to find the 7 foot beam of the second level. Hear crash of $3,000 bike and $1,000 bike rack being ripped across the hood of your 3 month old car. The bike will be okay after repairs (being done for free under my tune up.) The roof rack is about $100 in repairs. The cost to repair the roof of the car with four dents from the roof rack being pushed down and a scratch as it drug across remain to be seen. Yes!

Gosh timk - sorry. :(

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

I feel your pain, Tim. Sounds like the frame survived OK. When it happened to me (back carrier rammed by mini-van at a light), my bike was aluminum, which can't be bent back. After that, I actually followed pjenvic's advice and transported the -- new --  bike inside the car.

The bike will be fine; ego remains to be seen. I will be buying a rear rack shortly. (Though after reading Fred's post that worries me too.) Unfortunately, I cannot fit the one bike in the car much less two if I am taking my wife.
I do have a call into the property management company. They have one entrance marked with a lower warning bar than the side I came in. Plus, on the side I entered on you come in from the light to the dark garage and it's right there. Seems to me you would put a warning bar there.
Actually, $3,000 is the low end for a time trial/triathlon bike. I've seen people spend that on rims/tires (way too serious for me.)

Greetings, all. Catching up with everyone's news here. Congrats! and "Ouch" to all of you as appropriate.
DH and I were on vacation last week - Charleston and Savannah. Beautiful historic cities and we had fabulous weather. I tried grits while we were there. I think once was enough.  |

I really wish we had time to do Charleston on this trip, but alas time is limited. Did ya'll go to Magnolia Plantation. Love the gardens and the swamp trail.
I eat grits for breakfast several times a week. :)
I was very reluctant to spend $300 dollars on a bike.
