tuesday: OVER IT.

oh man, you guys. i am HAVING A DAY. HAVING! a DAY!

my stupid asshole cat (oliver, obviously) has a bit of a Peeing Issue, where he sometimes pees on my shit. on purpose. just to be as ass. like this morning, on the bathmat i purchased literally LAST NIGHT. 30 seconds before i was going to walk out the door to work.

so after dealing with that, i was late, so i guess i was not paying enough attention as i backed my car out of its parking spot? which i have parked in every day, often multiple times a day, for nearly two years. i park next to a rectangular concrete post on the right, and a white car on the left. and this morning, for no apparent reason, i dragged my right fender across the concrete pole while backing out. the white concrete pole. on my black car. AWWWESOME. i guess it's better than hitting the other car? BUT STILL.

you all know about my costume by now, and i was thinking this morning that i hoped the ice skates i won off of ebay came soon, since i'm getting a bit down to the wire here. and then i remembered that after you win an auction on ebay, you still have to go in and pay, like as a whole separate step. which i had not done. which means the ice skates are definitely not yet in the mail.

and once i finally got to work, i slunk dejectedly into the kitchen to make some hot chocolate / coffee to try to cheer myself up. i poured the packet of hot chocolate into the cup, threw away the packet, turned around, and batted the cup off the counter in the process. the cup sailed across the room, trailing a fine arc of chocolate powder in its wake, before landing upside down next to the trash and depositing the rest of the powder all over the floor.

i need a do-over for today, please.

  1. Do over granted. Just pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. While you're at it, could you do something about the weather?

  3. Kind of amazing to be wishing for a do-over of a Monday, isn't it?

    If you get a do-over, let me know... I need one, too.

    Let me know if you want to borrow some ice skates...

  6. I blame this all on the rain. Also, I think you may need to just go back home and crawl under the covers. Wait for tomorrow.

    Hope the rest of the day treats you A LOT better!

  8. I'm sorry you're having such a crappy day. I'm still gonna giggle just a little though.

    An arc of cocoa. That's cute.

    btw, my wordver is "incivide" which I'd pronounce in-civ-ih-dee, and I think it means what we'd all like to do to bad days... something like a cross between incineration and day-icide.

  10. Well crap. The cup one would have pushed me RIGHT over the edge.

  11. For some reason, I read that last part as "the cup sailed across the moon," which cracked me up. Just envision that and you should start laughing too.

  12. It all sounds awful, but losing your hot chocolate? Terrible end to it. It could have been worse - At least it wasn't liquid, yet.

  13. Oh, man. Your Tuesday kicked my Tuesday's ass.

    Hang in there! Midnight will arrive soon!

  14. I think you should give up on Tuesday. Go home, put on some sweatpants, drink some wine. Screw Tuesday.

  15. Is your cat fixed? Because, if he isn't, that could be the problem. Male cats that haven't been spayed spray.

  16. Oooh, I second Hillary! Go home, drink wine, get laid... whatever it takes :)

    But, hey, look at it this way. Karma's a bitch and you recently came back from a freaking awesome vacation... what's one bad day??

  18. My day was like that yesterday. It started with my computer being wiped of everything (randomly) and didn't get much better than that.

    I hope your Wednesday is better!

  24. Peeing on your shit. LOL! I actually imagined your cat being on your poop.

    Wow you really are having a bad day. Sorry about the car thing.

  30. This is why we don't have bath mats. We tried 4 before we gave up. We also are forced to put our clothes in the hamper, little bastard cat. I can recommend a spray called "Dumb Cat." Works well keeping them from doing that.
