Oooh boy, what a bad day this has been!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Has anyone else ever had days where everything just seems to go wrong? The kind where little itty bitty bad things happen that normally wouldn’t affect you much, as opposed to one big bad thing happening, but since they happen within a day, the day just turns catastrophic. I had the misfortune of having a day like that today. Lessee, where should I start?

Well, maybe the fact that I woke up half an hour late and had to scramble out the door with my hair half combed and myself half dressed should have been an indication for me to stay in bed.

I arrived on campus ready to tackle my courses and take notes for my upcoming finals ( :eek: ) only to discover that my laptop is low on battery because I forgot to charge it last night.

Oh well, at least I took the notes by hand. I decided to head to the library to recharge my battery though. At least I brought my plug in source thingy with me. So I decide to pay some bills online while I’m at it, and instead of paying off my VISA bill, I accidently paid my phone bill. :smack: That leaves me with $4.25 in my account until payday. :smack: :smack:

That’s no big deal, payday is on Wednesday and I’ll be able to survive until then. I figured there’s not really any necessities I need until then… until I dug out my anti-depressants and discovered I only have two pills left. One for today and one for tomorrow. :smack: Looks like I’ll have to borrow a few bucks from my parents. :o

Oh well, suck it up and move on, right? At least tonight, I’ll be able to relax at my boyfriend’s place because we have developed a routine where I stay over at his place on Friday nights and spend Saturday together. I arrived at the bus stop to discover that I forgot my bus pass in my other jacket pocket. :smack: By this time, I’m screaming :wally to myself!!! It was the third time this month I did this, you’d think I would have learned!! :mad:

Worse still, I had no cash on me, so it wasn’t like I could just suck it up and pay the fare. I couldn’t take money out of the ATM because as I mentioned before, I have $4.25 in my back account and the lowest amount the campus ATM dispenses is $10. So what the hell do I do?!?! Time to suck it up and call mommy for a ride, I guess. :frowning:

Ah… at least I got a ride, and now I’m safely in the enclosure of my own home. I’m tempted to say that things can’t get any worse, but we all know what happens to people who say that! :dubious:

Yup. I had one of those days earlier this week. They really suck.

I think you’d make a good MMP-er. Why don’t you check it out?

Oh, and welcome to the boards!

Time to hit the “Rewind” button. Put it out of your memory; this day never happened.

And, while I’m a very-much newbie myself, and feel very awkward at saying this, welcome to this community.

Having said that, I really think you should go ahead and join up. Yeah, you’re gonna feel like you’re on stage and completely naked, but it will pass, please believe me.

Add in a few incidents of dropping things, tripping over your own feet, and falling down, and you’ve got my life every single day.

I am one of the Cosmically Fucked.

I suffer from Congenital Clumsiness (inherited from my uber-klutzy mother). My body is covered from head to toe in bruises acquired from banging into stationary objects all day long. My toes are usually swollen from multiple stubbings. My clothes look like I’ve been mauled by a tiger because of various snags and rips I acquire through the day.

I have reduced cognitive function. (I can remember reams of useless trivia and every book I’ve ever read, but I’ll be damned if I can ever remember an appointment.) Refills, ha! I have asked my doctor for multiple prescriptions of my heart medication so when I run out, I can quickly call one or the other and get an emergency refill.

I am functionally retarded when it comes to math, so if it weren’t for my husband taking care of our accounts, I would constantly be overdrawn.

Every single day of my life is an exercize Murphy’s Law. Always, always, the worst possible outcome is what happens when I go to do anything. Do I sound bitter? I am-- I struggle to have a sense of humor about it, but it’s long past the point when it’s Not Funny.

Oh, I yearn to be like other people-- to cook breakfast without starting a fire, or breaking the dishes. How lovely it must be to be able to walk down a street without automatically tripping over every crack in the sidewalk or being shat upon by birds! It must be so nice to use an appliance without it breaking or acting in a bizarre fashion! How wonderful it would be to have a boring day!

Just thank the gods you are not me, and only had to live through one day like that.

I Thank God that I am not Lissa!

I had one of those days a few years ago. Endless dumb stuff went wrong. I don’t remember what all it was, but I DO remember that I decided to just go hide in my bed and make the day go away only to discover that my damn cat had pissed all over my blanket. I think I actually cried.
