Yesterday, as I was pulling into my parking space at work something happened and I accelerated when I should have been braking and crashed my car into the building where I work. I still don't know what happened but I think that probably my foot slipped off the brake. I have always heard about people who do this kind of thing and plow into a storefront but never understood how it could happen. Now I do. I'm really hoping the car people will tell me my brakes went out or something but it was probably my fault. Having this happen where you work is pretty embarrassing but everyone was very nice, even the police who didn't give me a ticket. I have been really upset by this and didn't sleep at all last night. All I could do was replay the accident in my head. My car is currently at the shop waiting for an estimate. Since it is 12 years old there's a good chance they will just total it. Until then I have a rental. I couldn't stop crying this morning but after talking to my friend MC I feel a lot better. The good thing is that I didn't hurt anyone and I didn't crash into an office or anything and the damage to the building appears to be minimal. If I had been one parking spot over I would have gone into the director's office or if it had been a few seconds later I might have hit someone who was walking on the sidewalk.
