I've had a bad day too........Souldrifter

This was one of those days I should have stayed in bed. First of all I tossed and turned all night. Don't know why, just did. When I DID sleep I had horrible nightmares about my car blowing up. Could be because the "service engine light" came on yesterday but Jay says nothing is wrong with the car. Okay, I guess we'll wait and see.

On my way to work I stop at the gas station to get gas. By the way...have you noticed the price of gas lately? What the heck is with that? Anyway, I get out to put my credit card in the dohicky thing and discover....I didn't have my credit card and I didn't have any cash on me, so I went home looking for my credit card, thinking it was in my other coat pocket cuz I kinda remember putting it there yesterday in a hurry. Wouldn't you know it I decide to ware my other coat this morning. Well, the card wasn't there. By now I'm 15 minutes late for work and I'm running on fumes. So I think...what can I do to get gas now? I go to the bank to cash a check. Pulling into the drive threw I hit the thingamabob and put a tiny dent in the fender. The engine light comes on and I'm afraid I'll run out of gas before I get to the station anyway. Well, I make it to the station and look over at this jeep at the pump next to me and all this gas is spilling all over the place. The guy left it running while he went inside to pay. I have to be the hero and stop this thing. I get gas ALL over me.

I make it to work, 45 minutes late, and I right away I get a call from the bosses wife. She wants me to make all these personal calls for her (doctors, lawyers, insurance reps) I'm thinking...you sit on your butt at home all day doing nothing...you call them. But instead I smile and say "sure I'll do that for you" and while I'm saying this I'm thinking...I suppose you want me to come over there and make you breakfast too, you lazy so and so. Fortunately both my bosses were out of the office all day and it's a good thing too because my phone contacts with them told me today was NOT the day to be around them. Both of them were cranky. (too much to do in too little time with too little help) Naturally, they like taking it out on me. It's the trickle down theory. The chain of command thing.

My son calls me at work when he gets home from school. He has to walk and it worrys me a little cuz he's been very sick this winter and it's very cold here. He calls all upset, crying, saying he hurts all over. There I am miles away and my baby needs me. It's a horrible feeling. I calm him down but inside I'm a wreck. I finally get home and the freakin door lock jams. I can't get in...and my son can't get out. We both try for a half hour to open the darn door before the maintainance man shows up. The funny thing is...Josh got the door opened just as the guy walked into the main lobby. Story of my life.

Jay called and said he has to work late tonight. *sigh* We did have plans but that's a wash now. He's not going to be a happy camper when he gets home, I just know it. I've decided I'm NOT cooking dinner tonight. We are having left overs and I don't care who likes it. I'm going to take me a long hot bath, find a good movie on TV, and hypernate until Friday. The only good thing about today is I've got tomorrow off.

Sooooooo How was your day?
