What's Up Bad Karma? What are you doing here?


     Y’know that song “I’ve Seen Better Days” by Sublime?  That’s today’s theme song.  Apparently, I did something awful and had to make up for it today.  In any case, I never knew so many things could go wrong in such quick succession.  Looking back on it, it's really quite comical.  So for your enjoyment, I have provided a play-by-play of today's adventures in Wonderland:

  • Drove onto the backlot for work this morning and found someone in my assigned parking space.  Parked in visitor parking.
  • Came into the office and set up my computer.  Only to receive the blue screen of death.  Twice.
  •  Went on a wild goose chase in search of unavailable lamps.  Yes, lamps.  Eight lamps.
  • Asked a store employee if he knew of nearest bank was for check cashing purposes.  Was given directions to a two-mile circle back to an ATM in same shopping center.
  • Used POI function on GPS to find closest bank.  Was given directions to same ATM in shopping center.  Did not follow them.
  • Used memory to find closest bank and parked.  Threw GPS unit at backseat.  Scared woman in next car over, resulting in a stink eye in my direction.  Was charged a whopping FIVE DOLLAR FEE due to lack of account with said bank.  Eff them.
  • Realized that not one, but BOTH pinky nails had broken below the quick.  Also noticed other nails waiting to break.  Now investigating estimates for acrylic nails for Halloween. 
  • Sat down to eat lunch, impossibly hot and sweaty.  Remembered finding a hair clip in my purse last night!  Rifled through purse, only to realize hair clip had been removed upon said discovery.
  • Also discovered that brand-new Pend-a-flex zip pouch zipper was broken, and change spilled out into purse.  Now have to remember to zip extra hard when zipping pouch.  Likelihood of remembering?  About 50/50.
  • When trying to tell parental units about terrible day, was dismissed for televised baseball.  Because obviously that’s more important.
  •  Parents think I need an attitude adjustment.  Likely an accurate assessment.  Hate when that happens.
Upsides of today?
  • No run over the hill, so no rush hour traffic.
  • Bosses seem more impressed with me in both the areas of organization, and sarcasm.  So they're being a little nicer.
  • Noticed that the two office storage closets are labeled "TWEEDLEDEE" and "TWEEDLEDUM."  Meant to be?
  • Got to watch dailies of footage with “Big D.”  This movie is gonna be hilarious, so I’m gonna make you all see it.  However many of you there are.
Here’s hoping tomorrow will bring a better theme song.  Cheers!
