It can be at work or home. I knew today was going to suck because it is a holiday (Yum Kippur), I can’t eat and I have to go to work hungry. I work in a liquor store in Brooklyn, that means twice the work of a usual day.
I picture god, with a sarcastic smirk across his face when I wake up in the morning, saying “Have fun my child.”
Usually when one or two mildy irritating things happen in quick succession it means my day is going to suck. A good example is being unable to find a clean cup for my morning tea and dropping my toast butter down on the floor.
I’ve also noticed that seeing a hearse on my way to work is an ill omen.
Any day my boss is in the office. Not the chairman, president or VP, they’re all fine. I’m talking about the toxic little lump of bile sitting at the desk across from mine. The one who considers “hey, c**tface” to be a standard form of greeting.
So all last week didn’t suck. Tomorrow likely will not suck as well. Tuesday, however, will suck big time, as he will have had a week’s vacation to replenish his reserves of hostility.
You wake up and the first thing you remember is the one homework assignment you didn’t quite finish. Even if you know you can lose the points and still maintain a good grade for the overall class, you just hate knowing that you have to go to school with it not done.
Also, if you didn’t have much homework the night before, you’ll have a ton tonight, and the only thing you don’t know about today is what the homework will be specifically.
And of course, any day starting with “M” and and ending with “onday” sucks.
Today is gonna suck. I woke up tired and wanting to go back to bed, plus it’s a Tuesday. I have classes spanning from 8:30am to 8pm, and just enough time in between that I don’t really feel like walking back home.
any day that does not end at 5:00. Could be for kids activities, volunteer meetings, long work day, whatever. I like my ME time in the evening and get a real bad attitude when I can’t just go home, crack a beer and veg out.
Three things combined guarantee a spectacularly crappy day:

[li]I wake up with a headache.[/li][li]During the night, the pets have drug in a large dead animal such as a possum, rabbit or squirrel (small dead animals no longer bother me).[/li][li]It’s a work day.[/li][/ul]
When you put your key in the office door, twist it, and drop an entire mug of coffee on the floor at your feet…(with resulting “splash-factor” on trousers.)
At least today was Tuesday…(my coffee survived Monday)
