Ouch!

Would you believe I got hit by a car yesterday? Me neither. But I did. It was on my way to work on the first day of my new temp assignment. Not auspicious!

Somehow I wasn't knocked to the ground - I didn't even get so much as a bruise. The guy asked me if I was alright. I said, "No I'm not alright. You just hit me with your car!" I think I was most shocked by the fact that I was conscious. I had been crossing the street in crosswalk, minding my business, little white man flashing "Walk". I look to my left and go from "Is that car going to slow down?" to "Did I just get hit by a car?!"

At the hospital they checked me out and told me what to look out for (y'know, invisible injuries and all). I have to admit, I feel very hard core, like I'm my Dad or something. The funny thing is that I felt compelled to stop in at my new office and let them know I was heading to the hospital.
