tamaranthToday (post-this) I am not driving to werk.
Insurance company say DO NOTHING until they have assessed vehicle.
Boss says DO NOTHING until I am less achy and shaky.
Weather filthy.

ladymoonray and swisstone comforting, supportive etc.
Protestant Werk Ethic curiously silent.
Illicit Daniel Craig movie awaiting me on the laptop that is indirectly the cause of yesterday's glitch (I stayed late in the office to infest it with Windows XP, having failed to get some key things working under Linux. Shame on you sez the Universe, and pays me back for this.)
Fine, though, apart from stiff achy shoulders / neck (likely the aftermath of all the adrenaline and muscle-tension) and desire for peace and quiet.
EDIT: no, did not get number or company or model of HGV. Have suspicion it was Foreign -- if it was left-hand drive, this would explain driver's actions.

Date: Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 08:33 pm (UTC)I had a minor version of this 2 years back (side-swiped by car rather than lorry, so able to keep going until safe to stop) but it took me a day and a half to get over the shock. Still got a little weepy when describing what happened to the police.
So - take lots of care of yourself, warm baths, comfort reading, cats, chocolate, alcohol, that sort of thing.
Much love
Pennski.
