friday grrr list: crabby day edition.
Today was LAME.
There’s no other way to say it, really.
Start to finish, anything that could go wrong, did.
I wanted to write a Love List. I meant to write a Love List. I tried to write a Love List. I SHOULD have written a Love List. But.
Instead you get a GRRR list, because that’s all I’ve got right now.
GRR THINGS
Getting drenched head-to-toe by a nasty driver who chose to plow through a LAKE on the side of the STREET. Wet to the UNDERWEAR, I was. Not that I wanted to say underwear on my blog, but THAT’S HOW IT IS. I couldn’t go home because I had too much to do. But let me tell you how exciting it was for everyone and their cat to mention the fact that I was “really wet”. No kidding: I wasn’t completely dry until 2 pm. I cannot say enough about HOW MUCH THIS SUCKED.
The first thing I did at work today? Paper cut.
Second thing? Spill coffee.
Third thing? Forget to save a document.
From there, I also walked around with a giant bit of cilantro in my teeth for two hours.
Then, on the way home, I tripped on the stairs at the train station and ripped my jeans.
And then? AND THEN?
I rode part of the way home sitting next to That Guy. You know him — he’s the kind of guy who says, “But that’s not okay to talk about these days…” and then proceeds to speak at length about everything from Nazis to bisexuals to oozing sores at an advanced volume. Not that anyone is conversing with him… he JUST TALKS.
The rest of the trip? Yeah. Next to Creepy Bus Guy Who Tried To Grab Me Once.
Guh.
Today could not end quickly enough.
Feel free to send flowers, takeout, pedicures, and jewelry.
I? Am done.

Hey Meg
I know now empathy is severely under rated. You’re right, flowers or a puppy or something would be better.
But yeah, welcome to the human race, right? Hang in there, its probably not the last bad day even. Gee, aren’t I just a ray of sunshine!
End of a day like that, you just go take a long hot shower, put on some tunes, and dance in your “dry” pair of underwear in your flat or apartment or where ever you are.
And tomorrow, well yeah, sorry, it all start over again.
Tweet ya later!

It’s Saturday now! Or, it will be soon, depending on where you are!
It’s all behind you.

Hey Meg, a bad day it’s always followed by a great day!
Enjoy weekend!

I would send you a puppy if I had one to spare but I suspect the condition would be rather gross when it arrived (via cheap post since that’s all I can afford these days). I’ve been in that soaked-to-the-undies-by-asshole-driver situation before. I hope your weekend is a Gazillion times better.

Aw, babe. I hope you were able to relax a bit last night, and are sleeping in right now. More than anyone, you deserve a weekend.

When you have a shitty day you don’t always want commiseration stories but I figured these would at least make you laugh…
Last week… I had a lady stand so close to me on the skytrain that when she was touching my shoe with hers. She then proceeded to cough on me, so close and hard that she blew my hair into my lip gloss.
I also had a man sit next to me that had a cold and one of those neck holes you get when you smoke too much. He spent the whole ride blowing his hole into the same kleenex over and over making the most disgusting mucus noises I’ve ever heard. Normally I wouldn’t have gagged but I guess being 6 months pregnant - it was just too much for me!
That was Tuesday and Wednesday respectively… :0)
Take heart - now it’s December!!
