*sigh* I never know what to label these posts. I really should be removing brains right now, but I just don't feel like it. *sigh

shit...are you ok? that really sucks about the bike and I HATE people some times

[bantrobel]

I'm fine, just bruised and annoyed. I ran into a cop in a store minutes after this happened and he said that since I didn't have *any* description of what or who hit me and no one stopped and offered a description there was really nothing I could do. Grrrr. The bike might be fixable, we'll have to see. People in cars really don't bother to notice bikes. I always try to be hyper aware of them (both motorcycles and bicycles) for that very reason. I've lost friends because jerks weren't paying attention. And I had a doctor appointment that afternoon, and she said that from what I described happened I should have been a LOT more messed up than I was, so thank the gods for large favors, eh?

Bullshit. A hit and run is still a hit and run. Bet if I shot the cop in the ass, and no one saw a fucking thing, there'd be holy hell to pay. Don't let their laziness dishearten you. Go in and file a report. If they won't be cooperative, contact the district attorney's office. State of Illinois building at Daley Plaza is usually not too bad a place to visit this time of year, and the food places they have there aren't too bad.

BTW - howdy, stranger. If I manage to get the job on the job line tomorrow, and it lasts a while, I might road trip up to central Illinois in mid to late September. Up for a visit from that fool who promises to keep visiting but never actually does?

[bantrobel]

sure, but if you're going to central IL you won't be visiting me, so I would be very sad.... :P

[genpyris]

Good to hear from you! Much sympathies about getting hit. Any security cameras nearby that might have caught it?

I'm kinda bummed that I wasn't able to make your b'day. The scheduling for it was just abysmal from my end. Lo siento.

[bantrobel]

Very true. Someone asked me if I'd heard from you the other day. Now I can tell them yes!

[genpyris]

O rly? Who'd be askin' about me? Maybe I should narrow it down: Good looking woman, or a guy in a dark suit with sunglasses? The first would be nice, the second...not so much.

[bantrobel]

Erm, good looking woman in a suit? I actually don't remember who mentioned you, I just remember it came up.

[lostvirtue]

Hey there!

[kittekaat]

OMG Sweetie, I am so glad you were able to get up and walk away from being hit by a car! Holy Shite! I can't believe someone would hit a bike and just drive away! What the Hell is wrong with people?

[bantrobel]

Umm, it's Chicago and the city is infected with the 'Who me?' syndrome. Hell, every time I *stop* to help people I get told I should've kept going cause I might've gotten killed or hurt or something.

I do have to also add that the opening line of this entry is without a doubt one of the best things I've read. Totally out of context, it'd make a great quote: "I really should be removing brains right now, but I just don't feel like it."

Well, I do have a warning on my page that I talk about work in here...... so anyone who reads it is bring it upon themselves. But yeah, I can see where that would be funny.
