Day? Why do you SUCK so bad?!?!

I cannot begin to fully explain the extent to which this day made me want to start screaming and never stop...

1) Work: Don't ever allow a co-worker, no matter how cool she is, pawn off most of her duties to you while she's on maternity leave for an unspecified amount of time. (By the way, the baby is really cute - hi Madeline Rose! welcome to this bizarre world!) Today was my first official day with dual responsibilities. This means that it was sort of like my first day - you know where all of your new co-workers give you a nice, understanding smile - all the while thinking "What is with that chic? Why is she such a putz and WHY does she drink soy milk? She didn't disclose this vegetarian thing in the interview...what a freak." This combined with the usual workload made for one hellish day involving lots of making-shit-up to her customers and covering-shit-up after making silly mistakes because I was so busy.

2) Roommate (feline): Moses hates it when I leave him alone. This is why I take him over to my parent's house (kitty resort) when I leave town on business, rather than have a friend come over to feed him. Last night, I left him here alone all night while I enjoyed girl's night out. His revenge? BARF on my bed. Which brings me to the next sucky part of my day...

3) Laundry: Why is it that I am always 1 quarter short? Not 2 or 3 quarters short for my 2 loads, but always 1 QUARTER SHORT!

4) Surprises: I opened my mailbox today for the first time since last week (yes, I know - my fault) and MASSIVE amounts junk mail assaulted me as it tumbled to the floor.

Something positive here???

1) Beer in a box: This allows one to cut through temple square on the way home - carrying a six pack without being immediately identifiable as an infidel. I'm quite sure this displeases the Mormon god. But you can't please everyone's god all the time, yo. My god, incidentally, thought it was rather humorous. She encourages this type of behaviour. She also prefers the English spelling of words like 'colour'.

2)....I got nothin' else, folks.
