It's been a long time coming, but the place I've been freelancing at for the last 9 months or so has decided to bring me on full-time. They gave me the offer on Friday. I spent the weekend to mull it over, had some salary negotiating to do. Didn't get it all the way up to what I was hoping for, but it's good nonetheless.

So yeah! My day-to-day routine won't be changing much (I've been coming to the same office for a long while now), and I'll be making a considerable less amount of money, but helllooooo benefits and security. Plus whenever we decide to get a new apartment, having an actual payment agreements from my employer to point to will help out a lot (since our credit blows).

I have a 2009 scion xb.

I have replaced the windshield on it TWICE so far, due to random rocks. I'm not an ass rider, as the people riding with me can attest, both times previously I was several car lengths away from anything. Both of the previous replacements cost $500 each or so.

This summer, it happened AGAIN. Rock out of nowhere, put a good size chip in the windshield. Being pissed about it and dejected, I didn't immediately repair it because I knew it was going to cost me a whole new windshield. Yeah it was a chip, but some very small cracks could be seen, and I knew these would just get bigger.

This weekend due to the cold weather, the crack ran all the way across the windshield.

So begrudgingly I called my insurance again. I had contacted them when it happened, and they told me it probably wasn't worth the price of the deductible (my deductible is $500 also), so either way I'd be out $500. (Insurance is different in NC, in FL the last two were replaced for free because of some FL law about not wanting people driving around with busted windshields)

Then I called the glass place. $240, brand new, installed, tomorrow, in the parking lot of my work.

Even though my school was being ridiculously stupid today by ignoring the road commission's warnings and keeping classes going, (even if it's the Friday before spring break...), my organic chemistry teacher canceled the exam that was suppose to be held today. While I still went to school because I didn't get her email until after I arrived, the exam is now going to be the Tuesday after next with a whole week of relaxing in between, so I can't complain. Now I can at least catch up on some sleep. :bear:

Call your insurance, ask about Full Glass Comprehensive coverage. A little bit extra $ every month can save you $500 or even $240 for whenever this happens.
If they don't have full glass, they may have a $50 delectable Comp coverage. If all else, ride them to make sure that the glass can't be repaired. If it can be repaired, no deductible applies even without full glass.

I've been getting a lot more hours this week. Normally one wouldn't be happy to be working often but me working this much this week means that this paycheck will be the one right before the exist†trace concert on the 18th of March and that means, I'll be getting a shit ton of merchandise. They are one of my favorite bands and the most I've listened to. In the 5 and a half years that I've been listening to them, this is second time they've come to the U.S. but the first time they've come to the east coast and to my city.

Dunno if this belongs in the vent thread or here, but I've had an awesome night with a couple close friends I haven't seen in a while. One went way over his limit on alcohol and I spent the last two hours cleaning up vomit, but the friends, "legal" drugs, alcohol (I think being drunk is stupid so I stuck to one glass of an uber-girly punch) and cigarellos makes for an awesome night. :D
