Ever have one of those days where your morning just starts out awful? Check this out…
I wake up early, with plans on getting to the office a little early this morning to get some stuff done before I have to head out to Columbus, GA in the early afternoon.
Yeah right
On my way to the office, one of my tires goes soft… almost flat. I limped into a gas station to use their air pump, dropped three (THREE!) quarters in the slot for air and nothing happens… the damn things dead. I march inside, get my money back and check the pressure in my tires… sure enough, the passenger front tire is about 15 pounds low.
Carefully rolled across the street to the *OTHER* gas station… pull up to it’s air hose and find it only needs two quarters.. too bad someone’s jammed a penny and a nickel together in the slot and you can’t get them out. Finally, I roll down the street to where we take all the company vehicles for their regular service… and I ask the manager if he can fill my tire with air, which he gladly does.
Then I get to the office, an hour late, with the intention of getting a few things done, then leaving for Columbus. Just before I get ready to leave, I’m told someone in our prep department lost his hard drive, and the entire configuration for one of our biggest customers. It’s up to me to redo the entire configuration and so our prep department can back it up again. That takes me the rest of the day, so instead of leaving around 1:30 or so, I left the office at almost 7 pm.
It’s a two hour drive to Columbus. So, instead of getting here in the mid-afternoon, I get here at 9 pm… with not much time left for much of anything, except to watch news about Katrina’s aftermath.
What a fun day it was today. Don’t you wish you had my life?

Hello, Michele sent me! Wow, that’s some kind of day. Would I rather have that kind of a day and not have a broken pocket pc? I guess it’s pretty much a toss-up! Have a great S.O.T.-day!

Hey, Michele sent me! You asked if anyone ever had one of those days when the morning just starts out bad, and then its all downhill from there — I think that today is one of those days for me.
Hopefully, being Michele’s site of the day cheered you up a little bit!

Hello, Michele sent me.
Ha, anyone who has a “Life Sucks” category on their blog is someone I should read. Uh, that’s a strange compliment. Just go with it.
I hope your day is going better today.

Your day sounds like a few I’ve had recently and so I send you my best wishes and hope this is soon but an unpleasant memory!

I truely feel for you!
Now if you put about 360 of those types of days together and multiply it by 20 years, you would have my life.
I truely try to be a positive person: but we learn by our experiances!!!
and my experiances have taught me not to expect any!
I wake up hoping for the best and fear the WORST!!
some days have been far worse than my worst fears; and none have exceded my best dreams.
AND for some DAMN reason I keeptrying harder and harder to make LIFE go my way, only to be knocked down again!!!!!
So do I just quit and wish for death or do I just be positive, and
realise that I am positive that it is going to be another shity day!!!!!
