It’s been one of THOSE days

Wednesday, April 11, 2007


And by THOSE days, I actually don’t mean a day that totally sucks. It’s just a day full of bizarre challenges and annoyances. Like, shit is going wrong and yet it’s all working out well enough. So, in essence, the day has left me feeling grateful I’m not dead on the side of the road or stricken with the plague, even though ultimately it was not very rosy.

What the hell does that mean, you ask? It goes like this:

CON: Realized 4 days of eating what I wanted on my trip and Easter (which, for the record, was a reasonable amount, I thought) led to a 3-4 lb weight gain according to my scale.
PRO: Pretty sure it is physically impossible to gain a pound a day.

CON: Unable to access “Full” airport long term parking lot this morning to pick up husband’s car.
PRO: It’s a small airport, so I walked through the lot no problem and halfway there a nice shuttle guy even offered me a ride that I didn’t bother to take because I could see the car by that point.

CON: On the way back from airport, my MIL’s car died with my 2-year-old in it.
PRO: It stalled right as they were getting off the freeway so they were able to coast to a convenient spot and not die.

CON: After car died, MIL called me 5 times and was unable to get a hold of me because I have been having trouble with multiple phones in my life.
PRO: She did finally get a hold of me by calling people at the office. Then I rescued them late but without incident and was later able to figure out a work-around to all my phone dilemmas.

CON: This all took a 2 hour chunk out of my busy workday morning.
PRO: I was still able to get all my shit done, got to spend an extra hour with my son, plus this detour allowed me to get to the Pharmacy.

CON: An asshole partner I hate called me yesterday semi-urgently and I didn’t get the message until today and couldn’t get a hold of him.
PRO: Asshole partner supposedly has a client for me. Didn’t want to talk to him anyway. Have enough of my own clients.

CON: Client sends us an unsigned check (who DOES that?!) So I have to leave work early to pick it up from the bank.
PRO: The bank just handed me the check and didn’t hassle me even a little. If you knew the righteous weenies at my bank, you’d be amazed by that.

Here's hoping tomorrow is less complicated.
