fact: today = shit

Well, if today weren't just one big steaming pile of shit.

Let's start at the beginning, when I was woken up at 7:30 in the fucking morning. I was being told to move my car, 'cause we were finally getting our roof fixed after half of it being blown off by the storm back in June. I had to move my car so shingles and shit didn't get thrown onto it.
So I moved my car, and by the time I stumbled back to my room, hoping I would be able to add a few more hours of sleep to the four I currently had, the work had already started.
But it wasn't the constant pounding and scraping and banging that kept me awake, it was the radio they had placed right on top of my chimney. The music came through my fireplace so loud, they may as well have put the boombox right in my room.

So I gave up on sleep, got my coffee, and read. And read some more. (in a brilliant move, I started reading two books the other day. both are wonderful and fascinating, and I'm having a grand ol' time going back and forth between them. aah.... books, my love for you will never die...) All while the house was pounding.

Throughout the day I got word that the tennis class that I'd signed up for got canceled on me again, for the third time. Clearly the gods want me to be a fatty, as even when I try to be active, I'm defeated. Then I learned the doll meet I was totally looking forward to and took the weekend off of work for in mid-September was moved to a different date. Since I know Target won't give me two weekends off in a row (and no, they won't let me just move the days off - once it's in their schedule, it's in their schedule, and I'm fucking sick of people changing their fucking plans on me anyway. this is the fourth fucking time this has happened to me in a week. am I the only goddamn person on this planet capable of keeping their word?), I guess no doll meet for me.

I got word that my new glasses are ready to be picked up. I'm really super excited about these glasses... to the point where I may actually wear them. So I was happy to hear they were ready, but I didn't get the call in time to be able to pick them up before work. So have to wait until tomorrow.

But the best part - through all these cancellations and let-downs and constant pounding and loud music in my fireplace, I also got the pleasure of dealing with RAGING CRAMPS. =D

.-_-

And now, reading my friends' journals, it seems everyone has been having a shitty day. It's like a worldwide clusterfuck of bullshit.

Actually, I've just always wanted to use the word "clusterfuck."

I can't believe the highlight of my day was work. I actually didn't have any stupid customers making me want to rip hair out, stupid bosses making shit up to make me look bad, or screaming ba- oh wait... no.. there were still screaming babies. But not as many!
And I got to work with Julie! Always a highlight, 'cause she's supercool. And my co-worker/friend Nicole drew a picture of me. .^^ Which I'll scan later.

So ya. Pinch me, but the best part of a day like today was Target. There's something wrong with that.


I guess now I should get to bed, so I can get a few winks before the pounding starts up again tomorrow morning. But at least tomorrow I'll have someplace to go after I get woken up.

And I'll come back with stylish glasses.
Why do I look forward to such retarded things?
