Default A very bad day!

I was driving to a clown job out of town and was a block away from the job when my vehicle was hit. There I am in full clown makeup and costume in the middle of an intersection. Traffic was backed up in both directions. I think my truck is totaled. I walked away uninjured thank goodness. I missed the gig but was able to make my later party I had in town. Has anyone had a day like this? Sorry just had to vent.

Aw. I'm afraid we all have our lousy days, and that was definately yours.
I'm sorry about your truck, but at least you're okay.

Terrible but luckely it's just the car that is broken and not you. Had something quiet similar about a year ago just 100 jards away from my gig someone hit me from the back. Police and the whole circus you know. Started an hour later and found it very hard to be the clown that day. Finally I had to go back by train with all my gear.
Yep these are those days you prefered to have stayed in bed.

Hope every thing is O K with you. One thing I put in a contract is an "Act Of God" or uncontrolable clause to help cover myself. I feel this is a little protection against unforseeable incidents such as this. I also state the EVENT should be covered under the same circumstances. Really hope everything is O K.

Thank you for all the support. My truck has just been declared a loss. I have been out shopping and found a nice deal on another truck. I am thankful to be in one piece. I will be clowning again this weekend. Thanks again everyone!
