Here's an account of my day:
5:45am: The alarm goes off. I stumble to the clock to hit the snooze button. Instead of hitting the snooze button, I knock over the candle stand that's also on top of the dresser. The candle itself rolls off of the dresser and lands on the top of my foot.
6:30am: After watching the morning news for a while I figure that I've
been awake long enough to get showered. I limp (see above) into the
bathroom and turn the shower on. After a couple of minutes, I figure
that the water is hot enough and I get into the shower. It takes
exactly 2 nanoseconds before I realize that I had turned on the COLD
water instead of the HOT water.
7:15am: I'm on my way to work and decide to stop by Chik-fil-A for a biscuit and large tea. The drive thru has a line a mile long, so I decide to just go inside. The goof behind the counter is in such a rush he doesn't pay attention to what he's doing, and I end up with UNsweet tea---a fact I realized when I took a big gulp of it whilst navigating down one of the busier streets. There's nothing worse than anticipating sweet tea and ending up with UNsweet!! I get so pissed that I roll down my window and throw the cup out....and watch as 32oz of tea is splattered down the entire length of my truck!
8:15am: I get to my desk, open all my programs on the computer and realize that my email has stopepd working. The solution is to delete some old emails. Ten minutes after I dumped everything that was saved from 2007, I get a call from a hospital administrator wanting a copy of an invoice that she'd emailed me----back in December 2007.
8:45am - 10:00am: I have three phone calls---all of which average 30 minutes each, thus preventing me from getting ANYTHING accomplished!
11:15am: I begin to clean up my desk in anticipation of leaving at 11:30--at which point I find out that none of my colleagues knew that I was leaving early. They all begin to cluck at the same time.."why are you leaving?" "didn't you just take a long weekend?" etc etc Yeah, I was VERY close to duct taping their beaks shut!!
1:00pm: I get home without incident, Chris heads to work and I wait for the cable guy. He calls at 1:15 and announces he's on his way (he was supposed to be here before 12...) No big deal. So he finally arrives 20 minutes later and gets the line ran into the house. Then he tries to get the modem hooked up. No signal. He heads back out to his truck to get his handheld computer and realizes he's locked his keys in his truck!!
5:15pm: The poor cable guy FINALLY gets his door unlocked and tells me that a repairman will need to come back out to troubleshoot the signal problem. At least he didn't charge me anything!! Meanwhile, the contractor who is building the porch shows up and three different people call over the course of five minutes.
Between the phone ringing off the hook, the cable guy, the contractor, & the dog barking I felt like the lady who used to do those Calgon commercials: "Calgon--take me awayyyyyyyy....."
I wonder if I could get myself one of those nice quiet rooms with the padding on the floor and walls?
That's all for now! Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!!!
She's not very happy about it, but oh well. When I'm fully back online later this week, I'll have to do a quadruple post to catch everyone up on my adventures! Have I mentioned how much I *HATE* my phone company??!!!
