My Idiot Move of the Month: the Sequel

Man, what is it with my luck and cars this month? After being incredibly lucky about one car last weekend, now I'm faced with cracking the left tail-light of my cousin's Toyota while I was backing it out of his office driveway and subsequently hitting his customer's Rav4. Mebbe most of the good luck was used up last Sunday.

See, this is why I don't like driving automatic.

Thankfully both cousin and his client were cool about it, with no damage to the latter's vehicle. Still, I can't believe all of this was due to a need to get Mom to the dentist and get her temporary bridge glued back to her mouth. AND the fact that the Altis was number-code restricted today. (See? An excuse so lame I couldn't have made it up.)

All the $#!++y stuff seems to happen to me either on days after holidays (assuming August 15, The Assumption of Mary, counts as a holiday) or after Friday the 13th (damn you, Sunday the 15th!!!). I was already having small bouts of bad luck today, w/c I thought would've "evened out" by now. Turns out it was only the calm before the $#!+storm.
