Today I learned that even super little things can affect an entire day. Aimee and I work across the street from each other in KCK. It would be atrocious to get there via public transport, so Donnelly College (Aimee’s placement) is kind enough to provide us with a ’98 Jeep Cherokee to carry us to and from work. The Jeep is functional, but apparently only barely so. They’ve had significant problems with it in past years that, while never dangerous, were incredibly inconvenient. I love driving and Aimee isn’t stellar with directions, so we mutually agreed that I would be the driver in our daily treks. This worked fine until today. I needed to be at a meeting for work and because my only source of transportation is the Jeep, I planned to use that. Well, apparently that wasn’t so kosher with Donnelly. Aimee called me several hours before my meeting, and her supervisor informed me that Aimee was the only one who was supposed to be driving the Jeep because she is the only one insured. Donnelly acknowledged my need for transportation for work related purposes, and since Bishop Ward is paying for half our gas, they kindly offered to insure me on the Jeep as well. I say this very sarcastically now, but really they were very kind about it. I was just irritated that there was not foresight enough to anticipate this need. Fortunately, I was able to reschedule my meeting and act as navigator for Aimee, so everything worked out. It just really ticked me off in a really quite unjustifiable way.
