What Happened at Work

eredienI talked to my boss, who understood that I didn't want to get "stuck" and encouraged me to go to England. How odd.
I worry that they won't replace my camera now--my personal camera, which I was using for work and broke in the course of carrying out my Clark-Kent-like duties--but that's really the least of my problems.
I was feeling much less stressed Saturday when I got sideswiped by a car which ripped off the mirror from the passenger side of the car and dented the door so it won't open--a new door will cost $250, used, so I don't think I'm going to replace it, esp. since I just replaced the muffler for $200 (can anyone tell me why anyone thought cars were a better idea than public transport?)--I'm not hurt, but I was shaken enough that I didn't stop, so the other car drove off by the time I turned around and drove back to the Scene of the Crime.
So, I sometimes get precognition--knowing something is going to happen before it does. I often get this in a car, or a situation where I am driving.
I have listened to it often, because it often proves useful. First time it happened, I wasn't driving, but if the driver had taken my advice, we would not have got into an accident. Second time it happened, I was driving, and took my own advice, and missed being creamed by a person who forgot that red means stop because they were being chased by the cops.
However, I cannot listen to it all the time, or I would live my life in fear and annoyance; sometimes when it is very soft it is merely a caution and not an outright "Danger, Will Robinson!"
It is really annoying when something soft turns out to be important.
I saw the red car, and thought, "I should avoid that person, or slow down, or otherwise not go past them."
Then I thought, "you're being paranoid again, dear."
And then I got hit.
I was so annoyed about that.
How do other people deal with this? It's not like it's in a lot of self-help books.
I am currently printing out airline schedules, yes!
