15 Uninteresting Things You Probably Don't Know about Me

Valentine's Day! Didn't quite work out as I'd hoped. For one, I found out that my car is costing $1,900 (the other person's is less than $300). Even though I'm at fault, my insurance company is only paying 80% because he was partially liable for not doing anything to avoid the collision. The car damage is enough to prove that as my rear passenger side tire is the area of damage. My boss also gave me a bit of an issue about working from home, as he is want to do, even though everyone else in their right minds has expressed the opinion to me of "you were in a car accident yesterday, you have the resources to work from home, and you don't have transportation, so what's the big deal?" And J was diagnosed with severe bronchitis so he isn't here with me now eating pizza, drinking wine, and watching Columbo.

C'est la vie. Life goes on of course. So I thought I'd sit and do one of those Facebook "Things You Don't Know About Me".
