The Worst City Day:
I can't wait for this day to be over.
1st: due to time change and thinking about everything I have to get done at work before going to another conference I got minimal sleep, waking up every couple hours after finally getting to sleep at around 1 a.m. This led me to long for the old ability to sleep in and still have time to exercise before work-now I'm not sure how safe it is and I'd have to get up an hour earlier than I used to since I have to leave for work earlier.
2nd: this morning I had to walk in the rain to get to work which by the time I got there I was disgusting and all itchy from my sweater, also having to carry a bunch of extra stuff back to the office from last week's conference. Oh yeah, and I can't find my umbrella. This made me want to curse the city's lack of parking lots and ability to drive.
3rd: I was supposed to stuff 175 folders and ship them out today. This made me long for my vounteers back. This is something they would have done for me, now I have to do them myself which with 14 papers to go in each takes hours for one person. I planned all afternoon to do this but our printer had other ideas. Apparently it takes 4 hours just to print one of the inserts-which was the only one I even needed to print, of course. And its such a great printer that it only took a freakin hour to even get it started printing correctly. Once it did I didn't want to leave work without it finishing in the event it would suddenly break again as it did earlier, which led me to stay at work an hour later with folders still not completed.
4th: Xa and I try to salvage the day by trying out another church in the city. We get there and its moved so then we're too late so then we figure we'd go shopping. This led us to park in a lot that apparently when you are not looking for literally five minutes tows your car charging you $150 by saying you weren't shopping there.
These are the biggies but pretty much every little thing was annoying today as well (i.e. forgetting my stereo cover in the house so the radio wouldn't work, etc.)
Right now I want a parking lot, a ten minute drive to work and I have very angry thoughts towards the city. I am trying to sooth myself with an episode of Friends and a butter rum hot chocolate. I really hope this helps...the end

I'm so sorry you had such a bad day. I can relate to your frusteration with not having a car from when I lived in NYC. Where are you going for your conference. Hopefully its somewhere sunny and warm!

Tanya,
The show is ending. What the crap. Why is this happening. What else will I have to look forward to when I buy a season series on DVD. Hope your days have gotten better as this week has gone on.
