So today I got into my first car accident.
It wasn't serious. Just a bad combination of sudden stops and icy roads. Technically I was the one at fault, though it was just one of those things that couldn't be helped. There was minimal damage to the gal's car that I hit and almost none to my car. In fact, it really wouldn't be a big deal at all if it weren't for one thing: the car I was driving wasn't actually mine.
It was my boss'.
To make matters even worse, two of her kids were with me in the car when it happened.
And just to add icing to this already-overly-frosted cake, my boss is out of town and unreachable for the immediate time being, so she doesn't even know about it yet.
I left a message on her voicemail for her to call me as soon as she got the message, but in all likelyhood, she won't get that message until she's already home and hears about the incident from one of the kids. If there's anything worse than hearing that you're kids got into an accident with your car, which was being driven by the person in charge of taking care of them, it's hearing about it from someone other than said employee first.
Gosh, I am so fired.
