Just One of Those Days

You know those days, right? The days where nothing seems to go your way?  Nothing major or life changing… you haven’t lost your job or found out that a friend or acquaintance has either died or is terminally ill. But every little thing you come across seems to have it out for you.  Accumulated misery.  From the moment you wake up. What you have planned for the day has a wrench thrown into it.  Then the situation that caused you the initial grief passes in such a way that you realize you should have never paid it any attention.  But you have and now you’re feeling the worse for it.  Then you start getting some work done and some outside force forces you to stop and begin doing something else you find unnecessary and an utter waste of energy.  Then when you think you’re day can’t take another turn, it doesn’t, but you get news that something that you’ve been planning 6 months for has to be postponed indefinitely because of powers beyond your control.  And it’s still only 10:30 am!!! Murphy, it seems, had nothing better to do than to come visit today, and chose to cancel ALL your appointments for you without your knowledge just so he can hang out with you for the day.  Well, Murph, you picked a bad day to show up!!  I’m working on little sleep because I had to stay up last night working on something that took much longer than I anticipated, and… HEY, WAIT A SECOND!!! That was you there last night too, huh? BASTARD!!!  Well, if anyone needs company out there, and is not particularly picky about who they are keeping company with, shout out to me so that I can send you my uninvited pal, Murphy, and his silly yet apparently very real Law with him. You’d be providing me with a great show of kindness if you can take him off my hands.  THANKS!!! Now, let me see if I can actually go get something done without being interrupted. (Actually, it’s amazing that I got through the 15 minutes I needed to write this, but this was the only way I could give off steam without hurting myself trying to punch through a wall… much less painful)
