Yesterday started off like any other Monday, i woke up tired as usual, and found myself at the office about an hour later.
But this wasn't just the typical Monday, since it was also the day set for moving everything from Gitte's apartment to mine (well, ours). Everything was set, her stuff was packed, most of her furniture dis-assembled and a rental van was booked.
When I got off work, and got the van, we started off by moving all the easy stuff like boxes and other light items. Later my friend
Robert had agreed to come help with the sofa and other larger items. And at this point, thats where the damn accident happened. As me and Robert was approaching Gitte's apartment for the 2nd and final leg of the moving, I hit another cars rear view mirror. Damn it!
The car (a dark-blue Suzuki SUV) was parked outside a pizza place and I only just hit its mirror with the vans mirror by an inch or so. Still, the Suzuki's mirror broke right off. Not a dent in the rental van - but that doesnt help much.
After parking the van, I went into the pizza parlor and confessed. The Suzuki owner was of course relieved - and i guess my account will feel the same way soon. Sigh.
Having a clean consciense is gonna cost me about 3000,- DKK. Damn.
Anyway, we managed to move everything yesterday afterall - so now Gitte and I 'only' need to unpack all that stuff, and make it look like a brand new home.
Guess I will be entertaining with anekdotes of my driving skills at the upcoming house-warming party... Other mirrors might be closer than they appear. Ugh!
