one of THOSE days

[Ojdo73]

Some mornings are better than others. This is NOT one of them.

My day started at 04:40 as it usually does. The alarm wakes me up, I take a few seconds to relise that it's mine, and then I get up.
At 04:41 I stepped in cat-vomit. - Not a good start
04:50 I realize that I forgot to preload the coffeymacine last night. - Even worse
04:58 steping outside after a hasty semi-breakfast (without coffey) I come to the conclusion that the white stuff covering everything and still falling from the sky is snow. SNOW!? Its march 25 for cryin out loud we've had our 5-6 mounths of winter allready, give me a break.
05:45 make it to work just in time to get changed before punching in.
06:25 have my first disagreement (of the day)with my boss.
06:35 manage to splash a rather corosive substance known as sodium hydroxid over most of my left side.
06:47 get yelled at for wasting expensive chemicals.
07:10 after a much needed shower I realise that my fully charged backup battery is most likely still sitting on the counter back home. Because it sure aint in my bag.

In other words...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain.

 

[Symbiotic Biorhythms]

You are a better man than I am. Mine would be like;

Wake up at 04:40
Step in cat vomit at 04:41
Rage-flip a table and go back to bed 04:42

 

[Faylool]

7:10 a.m.
Did you break down and smoke or snus or....? It's ok if you did!

Belive me. It crossed my mind. (right about the same time as a rather lengthy list of not so nice things one can do to cats at ungodly hours of the morning)

So far I'm maniging (barely). There is still some life left in my curent battery. Just hoping it will last me through enough of the day to make it home.
Today I pass the six week mark. Would hate to have to start over. But don't think Ive been this temted since i quit the stinkies.

You get to sleep in till 4:40 and your complaining ........really? Try setting your clock to 2:10 commute 65 miles....one way. Work 12 hours. Commute 65 miles back and not get home till 5 or so.

There ...there, feel a little better now?

 

[Apoxing]

Wow, i got up. Drank 4cups of coffee, watched some youtube clips, looked thru thé threads and drove to work. I have 2 hours in thé mornings before i start wolrking

Only if the commute is upphill both ways. ;-)

But seriously. You put a smile on my face for a minute there. Thanks. I needed that.

You do know the cat put it there intentionally, don't you? Mine once deposited a hairball in my shoe to ensure I stepped on it.

No problem...sounds like you might look for a car charger that way if you ever forget your back up battery you can slap the one you have on the charger for a bit. That would at least elevate at least "one" contributing factor.

Oh....yeah.....my wife told me last week that one of her friends husband's burned his car to the ground ....charging an ecig battery ....sorry ...but I don't know any particulars about it or how it happened. Probably using the "wrong" type of charger. I should try and find out "exactly" what happened so I can let people know.

Anyway hope your doing better now

 

[BabyFeet]

Things always get better. That is...if they don't worse.

Great read.

 

[astounded]

And if you had to walk. Through the snow. Pulling the horse and wagon behind you ...

While repeating "I love my pet. I love my pet" try not to dwell on the fact that the cat, having started off his morning with a bit of humour, went back to sleep til noon and subsequently had a great day.

Ask your boss why he didn't notice that although you"wasted" his expensive corrosive chemical by carelessly bathing in it, you considerately protected his floor from being stained by absorbing the spill with your body. And when you have a chance to think about your boss, ask yourself "How would the cat get even?"

 

[Ojdo73]

Good one, astounded.

I'll be sure to "toss my coockies" all over his desk... Or maybe not. I payed good money for my lunch. I'm not waisting it on th likes of him.

 

[cheaterbug1]

.... happens but there is always vaping.

 

[Ojdo73]

just had my last puff of the worday. My e-pipe is now out of power, and thus irrevocably dead untill I get back home. :-(
2 1/2 hours and counting (even more than usuall)

 

[kay67kay]

awwww ... poor kitty. i hope it feels better soon

 

[SneakyVapper]

AAWWW man. You trying to initiate yourself to the fight club? That made me wince. Hope your ok!

 

[Ojdo73]

awwww ... poor kitty. i hope it feels better soon

HEY!!!
I'M the one fishing for sympathy here, not that blasted barf-machine. ;-)
He's probably spent 90% of his time since this morning sleeping (and the remainimg 10 shedding on my side of the bed no doubt)


Seriously though. I'sure he's fine. Big orange lump of fury, fluffy that he is.

 

[Ojdo73]

40 minutes to go.
Still holding.
