Regarding my car, news has gotten out in the company about my close encounter of the animal kind, and I've gotten quite a few visitors out my way to survey the damage. You have to understand that this is a big place, and I'm parked in the most out-of-the-way hole possible here, so people are really going out of their way to view this. I've toyed with the idea of setting a guest book out on the hood for everybody to sign. I've also been looking for chalk so I could draw the outline of the beast in question on the asphalt next to my car, but nobody has any chalk in this entire company. I'm tempted to use a grease pencil, but that will have a little more permanent effect than what I'm going for.

The in-house insurance guy called to say that they'll be repairing my car in our own body shop here at the plant. They fix our company trucks there. I don't know whether to be pleased, or frightened.
