Anyone else? Nothing huge, nothing major, nothing earth-shattering, but the little things just keep piling up like rabbit droppings.

- I finally get my car back on the road for the first time since its inspection ran out in January. Unfortunately, the inspected it improperly and my high-beams still don’t work. The capper, though: I can’t find the faceplate for my stereo.

- I had to page down through half a stack of porn to find an issue of Popular Science to read in the bathroom. Not that I object to porn, but it’s not reading material.

- Two of my favorite online comics don’t have new episodes today.

- The same pair of jeans that looked fantastic with a black spandex top yesterday look frumpy and two sizes bigger with a white t-shirt today.

- I finally post to the “what do you look like” thread and Homer stops posting to it. You pig.

- I finally post to the “who do you want to meet” thread, and it’s only one post from the bottom of a page so no one sees it because they’re going immediately to the **last** page of the thread.

So…it’s a crappy day, but not crappy enough to actually bitch about it, but not good enough to breathe a sigh of contentment.

Anyone else? Please? Or do I chalk “Started a really dumb and boring thread which no one found interesting” to the list?

I woke up 45 minutes early this morning and could not fall back to sleep.

I watched the light rail pull away from the stop as I pulled into the parking lot (20 min wait.)

No one made fresh coffee this morning at work.

I found out that the three hours I spent yesterday on fixing a “hot” problem was wasted due to a MGMT decision to not process that application.

Another day, another 50 cents…
