Having a rough day?

*Kameko* · 06-30-2003, 05:31 PM

Having a rough day? Maybe this will make you feel a little better. This is a summary of how my day went today. Be glad I didn't include the last two days as well...

-------------------------------------------------

Some days it just doesn't pay to gnaw through the leather straps and get outta bed.

I woke up this morning fully planning to get at least three of my final four assignments for my summer course done and out of the way. Well, they were harder than I had anticipated, and I just barely managed to get two of them done -- one a week late, the other just in time. I have another that's now late that has yet to be completed, and a fourth that for some bizarre reason isn't due until AFTER the final. Go figure.

Then I had a couple of ladies come into the antique shop this afternoon (which I run for my Mom, as well as live in the back of). They were nice enough, but they had a little boy with them, and they let him wander around unattended. In an ANTIQUE store. With BREAKABLES.

It was bad enough that he had to touch everything that he got anywhere near, and thus upset several displays in the process (without so much as a 'don't touch' or 'be careful' from his guardians). But a while later, after running to the library to turn in the aforementioned assignments (and btw, the librarians forgot about me for a good ten minutes before they remembered that I needed them to scan my disk so I could use it...), I was walking through the store and discovered that the kid had ripped the two big tassels off a really nice little (recently re-upholstered) chair.

And he didn't rip them off in such a way where they could just be sewed back on, oh NO. Of COURSE not. He ripped the loop (the part of the tassel that connects to the chair) clean off one of them. I'm currently debating whether or not a hot glue gun will do me much good this time.

Wait, there's more.

I have to take my final exam for my summer course on either Wednesday or Thursday. Which means a 1&1/2 to 2 hour drive, largely in CITY traffic. But that's not the bad part. I've only just begun learning to drive in city traffic (read: largely congested, with unbelievably bad roads). In fact, this will only be my third real experience in city driving. But that's still not the bad part. No, I can handle the traffic.

The real problem didn't come to light until I got back in my car this evening, to make the fifteen minute drive to the other local library (which stays open till 8pm on Mondays). Such a wonderful thing to happen to someone who won't have much spare money for about three more weeks...

...the car's air-conditioner gave out.

****HUGS*****

*Cascadia* · 06-30-2003, 05:42 PM

my life is nuts....I am the show groom for the barn that I go to. I am also the barn's secretary, so I do all of the show entries. I am job hunt everyday in the ads and the web for a scientific job. I ride hunter/jumpers twice a week. I also cleanup after my brother, whom is living with me for the summer.

**Kali** · 06-30-2003, 05:47 PM

Sounds like a horrible time, so I give a big hug to you, Kameko. Unfortunately, it didn't make me feel the least bit better about my pathetic and worthless life.

Moomintroll · 06-30-2003, 05:52 PM

Cheer up everyone!
*hands out candy*

*Cascadia* · 06-30-2003, 05:55 PM

I go through periods of grief and depression due to my loss two weeks ago and the job market.

*That Matt Guy* · 06-30-2003, 06:25 PM

At least you don't have to work all night carrying heavy boxes.

*Kameko* · 06-30-2003, 06:43 PM

*hugs everyone*

Thanks, Moomintroll and Kali, and I hope things get easier for the rest of you as well.

*JameO* · 06-30-2003, 06:56 PM

Geez that is one horible day. I hope after your exam that you have a whole week of fun or something better than that.

**Nturtle** · 06-30-2003, 08:35 PM

Geez, sorry about your bad day Kameko!!!

And Kali, you shouldn't put yourself down like that!! *gives out mangos of chearing up to everyone who has had a bad day*

~~Reznorite420~~ · 06-30-2003, 08:42 PM

My car has had no AC ever since I got it. What are you complaining about?

**HorseTechie** · 07-01-2003, 01:12 PM

Aww.. that sucks. I guess that's why I don't bother to sign up for summer classes. I'm such a slacker.

But the bit about broken A/C does suck. Mine had went out too. And well, I was hoping it was a simple fix hubby and I could do. You know, go to the store, buy some recharge coolant in a can, and inject. Nice and easy, and saves me the atrocious fees they charge for such a simple thing. Well that worked for a few days, when it goes out. Again! I guess a hose or something is leaky, so I have no choice to take my Beamer in to some god-awful expensive place.

No to mention the driver side window is still messed up. I can't roll that down (the others I can, but it's not as cool). Plus the interiour is solid black leather. All over! *pant*pant*

Nothing like being hot and pissed!

*Kameko* · 07-01-2003, 06:26 PM

She's complaining about a car with a black leather interior. Sheesh.

j/k. That does sound miserable. Especially if you can't roll down your window. Even with the window rolled down in my car, it's still miserable hot, and my seats are upholstered with fabric.

With any amount of luck, I'll be able to sweet-talk my mechanic step-dad into charging up the a/c for me before I have to drive into the 'big city'.

And, Rez, man, you know how miserable hot Texas can get in the summer! And besides, my first car had no a/c, but at least it had a radio. The trade-out for this car was I got an a/c but lost the radio. No a/c AND no radio just ain't right.

Well, yes.. sometimes black leather isn't always a 'cool' thing. Good luck in getting yer A/C fixed. I'm still procrastinating on mine...

Moomintroll · 07-02-2003, 12:02 PM

ok, my brand new computer i just built in march dies
my old one barely works and is a piece of **** (well, its a very good piece of hardware, but it's so old and slow nowdays it's a piece of ****) and to get that working I called my ex to help me fix it and the new computer, he hasn't fixed the new one yet, set up the old one for now, new one may need new harddrive, the broken harddrive has like every TMNT episode ever made, as well as pics, presentations and papers. So quite possibly, all is lost.
Old computer can't connect to scanner or camera, and on top of that, me and ex made out, and now I feel like a floosy and we argued afterwards and I spent the nite in waterworks eating icecream by a gallon.
we are barely on speaking terms, and my work has a broken DI water filter so I can't run my experiment till tomorrow.
I AM HAVING AN AWFUL ****ING DAY!

(sorry, felt this was the topic to post it in

)

*Raven* · 07-02-2003, 12:41 PM

ya thats it........

*Jephael* · 07-02-2003, 12:52 PM

I was looking forward to hanging out with an old high school friend I hadn't seen in over 18 months, so I called her up to finalize our plans and she tells me that we won't be able to because her boyfriend got mad at her for talking to way too many guys. Of coarse this is putting a damper on my entire week, let alone a measly day.

Moomintroll · 07-02-2003, 01:10 PM

Mp, I am going to let you out on a leash if you behave, and I think I am going to keep you, cause no one wants to pay money for you anyways

*hugs MP some more and puts on a pretty fluffy zebra printed color*
