Watch out!
May 23rd, 2005 at 7:32pm
 
OK, everyone better be nice today.  I'm having a totally crappy day and this is my only refuge from the crappiness.  Please don't spoil it for me. Tongue  Of course, none of you would, but that is just the kind of day I've had.

It started with going to bed at 11pm then waking up at midnight.  1 HOUR OF SLEEP!  Could not get back to sleep.  Tossed and turned to no avail. 

Got up a 5 to ride to work.  Forecast is for a beautiful, sunny day (which we have not had for a month!).  Half way to work I almost lay the bike down (as in fall) making a simple turn.  I then realize my front tire is 75% flat! GGGRRRRRR!  I am on a quiet residential street.  No gas station, no help anywhere to be seen and it is early enough no one is up an about to ask to borrow a bike pump.  I creep in to work - 15 minutes late because I can't ride as fast as I normally do.

There are messages from customers demanding immediate attention from me.  The software conversion that ran over the weekend has taken our servers down and I can't get them back up.

I call hubby to tell him he will need to pick me up at the end of the day and he has a meeting that will run late.  So that means I have to work late as well!

It has not been a good day - so the rest of you had better be good or I will banish all of you.  (Ya right - like Rapunzel would let me do that!)

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. Undecided

Awwwwwwwwww.......so sorry about your bad day! I heard a quote once that said "Life is like a night spent in a bad inn."   While not every day seems that bleak, some certainly do.  Another quote:  "There is almost no sorrow that a hot bath and a glass of wine can't fix!"

Wishing you happier days ahead!!!

I am very sorry to hear you are having a rough time!
I'd be happy to sing you a song if it would cheer you up.  What's your favorite song?
I didn't sleep well last night, either.  I think its a full moon.  That always interrupts my sleep.
I think its awesome that you ride your bike to work!  Out here in AZ I'd be petrified I'd wind up as a hood ornament.  Tres dangerous for cyclists, even with the bike lanes!
I hope your day improves vastly and you can find a moment of peace amidst the chaos. 
Hey, we can chant some om's if you're game.  That always makes me feel better.
What can I say?  I'm weird.

Sorry about your bad day, BB.  Here's one of those email jokes I thought would give you a smile -- even if it doesn't really apply to you at this point I think you'll get a kick out of it.
TEENAGED DAUGHTER INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of a teenaged daughter.


Please read this manual carefully, as it describes the maintenance of your new daughter, and answers important questions about your warranty (which does NOT include the right to return the product to the factory for a full refund.)


IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR TEENAGER IN ERROR:

To determine whether you were supposed to receive a teenaged girl, please examine your new daughter carefully. Does she:
A. look very similar to your original daughter, only with more makeup and less clothing?
B. refuse to acknowledge your existence on the planet Earth (except when requesting money)?
C. sleep in a burrow of dirty laundry?
If any of these are true, you have received the correct item. Nice try, though.


BREAK-IN PERIOD:

When you first receive your teenaged daughter, you will initially experience a high level of discomfort. Gradually, this discomfort will subside, and you will merely feel traumatized. This is the "Break-In Period," during which you are becoming accustomed to certain behaviors that
will cause you concern, anxiety, and stress. Once you have adapted to these behaviors, your teenager will start acting even worse.


ACTIVATION:

To activate your teenaged daughter, simply place her in the vicinity of a telephone/computer. No further programming is required.


SHUTDOWN:
Several hours after activation, you may desire to shut down your teenaged daughter. There is no way to do this.


CLEANING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER:

Having a teenaged daughter means learning the difference between the words "clean" and "neat." Teenaged daughters are very clean, because they take frequent showers that last more than an hour. They will scrub themselves with expensive, fragrant soaps which you must purchase for them because "like I'm sure I'm going to use like the same kind of soap my mom and dad use." When they have completely drained the hot-water tank, they will step out and wrap themselves in every towel in the bathroom, which they will subsequently strew throughout the house. If you ask them to pick up the towels, you are confusing "clean" with "neat." Teenagers are very busy and
do not have time to be neat. They expect others to pick up after them. These others are called "parents."


FEEDING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER:

Your teenaged daughter requires regular meals, which must be purchased for her at restaurants because she detests everything you eat because it is like so disgusting. She does not want you to accompany her to these restaurants, because some people might see you and like I'm sure I want my friends to see me eating dinner with my parents. Either order take-out food or just give her the money, preferably both. If you order pizza, never answer the doorbell because the delivery boy might see you and ohmigod he's so hot. Yes, your daughter's idea of an attractive man is the pizza boy.


CLOTHING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER:


Retailers make millions of dollars a year selling stylish and frankly sensible clothing which will look adorable on your daughter. If you enjoy shopping, you will love the vast selections which are available to you. Unfortunately, your teenaged daughter wants to dress like a lap dancer. You may be able to coerce her into putting on a cute outfit before leaving the house, but by the time she walks in the schoolhouse door, she will be wearing something entirely different.


OTHER MAINTENANCE:


Teenaged daughters require one of two levels of maintenance: "High," and "Ultra High." Your daughter is "Ultra High." This means that whatever you do won't be enough and whatever you try won't work.

WARRANTY:

This product is not without defect because she has your genes, for heaven's sake. If you think this is not fair, talk to your parents, who think it is hilarious. Your teenaged daughter will remain a teenager for as long as it takes for her to become a woman, which in her opinion has already happened and as far as you are concerned never really will. If you are dissatisfied with your teenaged daughter, well, what did you expect? In any event, your warranty does not give you your little girl back under any circumstances, except that deep down she's actually still there--you just
have to look for her.

Hope your Tuesday is much better.

aaawwwwww!  Thank you all for trying to cheer me up.  Today is a bust, but on the good side, I now have TWO new tires and tubes, so my next ride should be much better.  I have finished doing the books at the church and surprise, surprise, we still have money!

So tomorrow shall be better. 

Thank you all again.

Time difference is no excuse Greek Lady!!  I see you in here all hours.  I know you are out there!  Grin

But on a happier note - today is going much better.  I have new tubes and tires (they even have kevlar linings and reflective sidewalls!!), so I'm a happy biker today.  I'm just hoping that the predicted showers for this afternoon wait until AFTER I get home from work.
