Things That Bug Me

10. When I pour a bowl of cereal and there’s only enough milk to fill the bowl halfway.

9. When, after said cereal bowl incident, I remember that I was supposed to do X and Y before work.

8. When I arrive at work late because X and Y took longer than expected.

7. When my boss notices that I arrive late.

6. When, breathless, I finally get to my desk and see notes from the day before reminding me of all the work I was going to do when I got to work early.

5. When the printer breaks, and it keeps saying, “Tray 2 Open.” And Tray 2 is not open, damn it!

4. When the copier has a paper misfeed, and there is not a scrap of paper anywhere in G2 or A5 or any of the other crevices it tells me to search.

3. When I get 10 minutes to eat lunch because I spend the rest of the time trying to fix the copier.

2. When someone tells me the copier has been broken since yesterday.

1. When I stop by the store after work (Finally! I can make those copies on Monday. I’ll just get there early.) to buy batteries for a portable radio I’m bringing to a picnic the next day. And then I get home and realize that I need 8 C batteries, not 8 D.

Ever had a day like this?

    I’m sorry but I had to laugh when I read about your day. I mean, yes, I’ve had days like that but it’s always so much funnier when it happens to someone else. :lol:

    Hope today is better for you. :)

    I was hoping you’d laugh, Laura. If we can’t laugh about it, what’s the alternative? Today, I’m sure, will be much better! :thumbsup:

    This has happened to me many times :lol: ! Oh, and you can add three kids into that mix with the “I forgot I need $40.00 by tommorrow for a field trip” and “I have a science project I forgot to tell you about and it’s due Friday.”

    I hate those kind of days. Murphy’s Law is a stupid truth.

    Yup, but my days like those occured mostly when my four kids were under the age of 12, mischief abounding compounded with everyday life.

    My worst one was when my two youngest daughters (aged 3 and 4 1/2) in the space of about an hour managed to coat the playroom floor with homemade playdough (dried so hard it had to be scraped off); moved on to the kitchen while I was scraping and emptied the pantry, opening grape and orange jello, brown sugar and flour, tipping over the dog’s water so the cat left purple and orange sticky prints all through the main floor; and finished by scrubbing the sink and toilet with all the toothbrushes and a full tube of toothpaste while anointing themselves and the bathroom wall with Zincofax.

    Cadence. Shana. Cadence. Once that first foot steps off wrong, it seems like your footing is off for the rest of the day.

    Been there. Done that. Tomorrow has to be better, right?

    So glad to hear today’s been way better, Shana! And yep, I’m just thankful that I (cross-my-fingers) don’t often have a week of those days! :)
