Wishful Wednesday

So, it's time for another Wishful Wednesday. However, today I'm going to outline good things that have happened recently (call them wishes come true if you like) in lieu of things which I would like to have happen.

I got a new car yesterday. This is fantastical on two levels. One, I have transportation. It was painstakingly difficult to ask people to take me places. The only worse thing was asking people to pick me up. Two, it's the nicest car I've ever driven. Unfortunately I have no picture, but it's wonderful.

Another wonderful thing that happened (today, to be exact) was that I lowered my insurance from $192 to $185, whereas my insurance should have increased from $192 to $266. This increase would have been true had I stayed with Progressive. However, just for shits and giggles I decided to get a quote from Geico for my new Dodge Stratus. Turns out those commercials really are true. "Just fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or MORE on car insurance." I was on the phone for 13 minutes, and saved $81/month or $324, which is what you would have seen had my quote been on tv.

That would have been nice to see. David Cable saved $324 on his insurance plan by switching to Geico.

I feel kinda bad, because Progressive's customer service was fantastic. Seriously. They did everything they could to try to be competitive and lower my rate, but when they found out what Geico was offering, there was just no way.

So, Geico wins for now. If I ever need to contact their customer service for anything and I have complaints, you'll certainly hear about it.

In other news, it's still fucking cold.

They took my sun out of the forecast. 50 and sunny on Friday turned into 45 and rainy. a;lskgjoeihagoidhg

That last bit at the end was my frustration expressed through the art of keyboard smashing.

Tomorrow, there is a new episode of the Office. I'm super excited. I love this show. I hope @rainnwilson starts a fire or something again. Only time will tell.

Not this weekend, but next, (the 30/31 of January) I'm mounting an expedition to Columbia, MO to see my love. I really like Columbia; I think it's a really nice town. I wish I could have gone to school there. If I had gotten one more point on my ACT, I could have had the same full ride scholarship. But alas, I applied anyway, didn't even try to take the ACT, and now I have a silent Vietnamese roommate. But the world kinda works like that, doesn't it?

I don't want to get too deep into philosophical discussions before bed.

Truly,

David

I'm still waiting for my 15 minutes of fame. Maybe some time.
