My day...

[Vodstok]

Zero isnt the only one here lucky enough to have "those days"

I woke up with the alarm this morning. This is odd, since I usually get woken up by the baby an hour earlier. Much like al bundy, this little bit of goodness foreshadows a crappy day.

I am DEAD tired, not having gotten more than 5 hours of sleep in 2 months (except for "vicoden night" last weekend, but drug-induced comas arent restful. Plus my finger hurt)

the morning goes okay, except i needed to get my wife coffee from the littl eplace down the street, which i wasn ablt to leave for until 6:50, i leave for work at 7. I got back to the house at 6:59. Didnt really get to see the baby or my wife before i hd to leave.


Then I had to get gas. the pump was running slow for some reason. i had a quarter of a tank left, but it took the same amount of time as filling an empty tank. I then stopped by Dunkin Donuts, because the half-cup of weak coffee i made myself wasnt enough. I got behind a woman in the drive through who seemed to think that she had to customise everything she ordered.

FINALLY, i get going. it is now 7:20, and i am 5 minutes form my house....


i can see the overpass for the highway, and all of the Massholes that were up in the white mountains for the weekend have decided to go home during morning rush hour, so traffic is moving at about 10 on the freeway. So i go through town. And get stuck behind old people...

I finally get through town, and it's pushing 7:40 when i reach the point where i would usually be at 7:10. Yay progress...

Things move okay for the drive for a while, until i get about 10 minutes away from work. The traffic at the toll booth starts backignup just on the other side. my 10 minutes to work turns to 30.

My commute is usually between an hour and 15 to an hour and 30 ANYWay, so i really didnt need that.

So i got to work and had to run to the bathroom. i get to my desk, and i am dead. i can concentrat eon a damn thing. But i grind my way thorugh the morning(with some more coffee).

Lunch time comes and i am a nice guy so i am going to take some packages to thepost office for my wife. The closest one here at work is a mile and a half away. here is where the real fun begins....

the road i have to turn onto has a sign that says "Rough road ahead". Not a dirt road, a "Rough road".... This thing has obviously not had any maintenance on it in 20+ years, and rather than FIXING any of it, they put up a sign... It should say "This road sucks, but we cant be bothered to do anything about it. Deal."

i find the post office place, which waas directly to my left. However, rather than having an entrance in a plcae where there is clearly plenty of room for one, i have to drive almost a MILE out of my way to make a u turn to get into the place because there is a median strip going the whole length of the road blocking the turn itn from oncoming traffic.....

i get to the post office, but it isnt really a post office. Its a pharmacy with a usps drop off. So i grab the packages and walk to the back of the store, only to see a sign that saysd "Cash or checks only, no credit or debit."

So i said "Are you fucking kidding me?" and walked out. What century is this? I can buy a donut at a drive through with a credit card, but i cant send a package? I swear, this state is 98% hicks...

so i decide, screw it, im getting lunch. i dont have time to try and find the other post office (in the ooposite direction from that one) so i go to mcdonalds.

I get to mcdonalds and there is a huge line. I end up behind stephen haking's female equivilant. Obviously, im being sarcastic. She drives right by the drive through ordering radio thing, then shoots down the cash collector girl, and proceeds to the pickup window where she calims she never go tthe drinks for her kids. She could have walked in and saved all of us a huge pain in the ass and about 5 minutes of waiting. She was a bitch to everyone she talked to, so they were assholes to me because they were pissed at her. So she gets her damn milk, and cant pullout, because the moron in front of her sitting in a BMW waiting for his order didnt pull far enough foward to let ANYONE coming up behind him get their order and pull out, let alone that stupid bitch in her HUGE SUV.

I pull up to the window (eventually), and the lady says "Big mac?" I say yes, she hands it to me like "TAKE IT" and spins on her heal before i can even say thanks.

I pull out and try getting my straw. The bitch had gotten coke all over it so the paper was sticking to it.

I finally got that all set, while driving and reached in for some fries. They FELT over cooked. And guess what? NO SALT!

I know they either forgot to add it, because, lets face it, they are upper middle aged and working at McDonalds... They arent getting a nobel prize anytime soon.

The other possiblity is that someone had just ordered fries with no salt. i have only ever seen old people pull sthis stunt. Guess what? if the doctor said you cant eat salt because it will kill you, MCdonalds is the LAST place you need ot be eating. All of the food is made out of 60% salt, even the fresh apples. If you want to die slowly, shoot yourself in the foot.

Anyway, i got back here and ate my food. I just want to go home and go to sleep, but i still have 4 hourslaeft in my day, then an hour and a half commute home to meet with a guy to paint our house, and all of this will time just right for me to not spend any time with my daughter.

Yippee.

LOL!

I read that and just started laughing. My ex-roomate used to say that ll the time, and he was such a sarcastic dick when he did... Im at least smiling now.

Patented understatement: That sucks.

[Vodstok]

What really sucks is we are getting digital cable in our bedroom today, and i garuntee the guy is/was late, which means my wife was stuck home with the baby (couldnt go out and DO anything with her), so by the time i get home, she will have had a shitty day to, which means neither of us will be in the mood to listen to the other and make them feel better.


The plus side is that we are both VICIOUS when we are tired and frustrated, so Hell's Kitchen will probably be a blast tonight. if we could record everything we say, it would probably sell millions :)

Well, on the bright side, you can snipe each other to death, make each other miserable, then have awesome make-up sex. Afterwards, you will be able to watch digital cable in your bedroom and maybe even eat a hamburg.

j/k
:D

That word will haunt me for the rest of my life. Ill die, get to hell, and satan will come over with a new hampshire accent and say "Hey, it's wicked hot down hea! Your ass is gonna be hamburg!"

On the west coast, the irritating word of the decade is DUDE.
EVERY sentence that is spoken is invariably followed by dude.
Aww...I broke my finger, dude!
Dude, did you see that loogie fly, dude?
I think I'm gonna hurl, dude.
Dude, why are you pointing that gun at me, dude?

[Zero]

hmmm. . . my day has gone wonderfully - maybe we have some kind of symbiotic bad luck relationship where we trade off the shitty days

[Vodstok]

if thats the case then sorry buddy, i hope your life sucks :)
