Bad bad day. A crucial direct report of mine just resigned. We can’t replace him due to the 'conomy. Shit. ---

Meh…nothing going on around here. Kind of a neutral day. ---

No thanks I’m fat enough as it is. ---

Shitty enough that I want a drink. Except I’m t-total these days. :smack: ---

It’s not so bad. I overslept and missed my first two classes. I’m sitting in my third right now and it’s a three hour seminar, which is kinda annoying, but the topic is interesting, anyway. ---

Kind of an average day. I had trouble waking up, so started off slow, but I wasn’t late for school. Spent my first class learning about working with sheet metal (cuts, rivets, etc… simple but fun) and then had 3 hours of Partial Differential Equations. Now I’m killing time til my 4pm class, which is just watching short movies anyways (_ethical issue_ movies). Tomorrow’s Friday, so I’m actually pretty happy about that. Going to spend the weekend with my family and in-laws. ---

I came home from a 5 day trip to find my water meter leaking roughly a gallon a minute. Repairs will be expensive. Water will be expensive. Warranty covers none of it. Sonsabitches. ---

Nasal congestion is making me breathe through my mouth, making my lips chapped. I forgot to refill my water bottles so I’m drinking tap water which philosophically I dont’ mind but the water at work tastes very much like licking a lead pipe. Twice today I’ve had unbelievably painful hiccups. It’s my husband’s birthday and I don’t have a gift for him 'cause I don’t have any $$$. Waah! ---

I’m still pregnant, but found out last night that she FINALLY turned head-down, so that’s good. ---

I spent the day updating records at work. For some reason I managed not to go to the bathroom for like six hours. Maybe it was because updating records is so exciting I just couldn’t tear myself away. Also I cracked myself up at one point during the day by coming up with the slogan (that I would use if I owned a funeral home, which I don’t): “We put the fun in funeral!” (It may not be original but it was to me. :D) For lunch I had a tasty assortment of multicolored candy-coated sunflower seeds. They were like two years old. We found 'em in a cabinet. Now I feel ill. But I’m still breathing so it’s all good! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-is-today/482365.md?page=1)
