They say any day above ground is a good day

Funniest paragraph of the day award goes to atomicbombshell for this priceless slice of life:

But . . . I blew an IV stick for the first time yesterday. It rolled on me, and I wasn't able to get it. And I was just so offended that I couldn't get it - the other nurses were laughing at me like I was insane. But I redeemed myself today, and was able to get two started on the first stick. Take that, rolling vein. How do you like me now, biz-natch?

Today is Spectacularly Bad Mood Day, at least for me.


Was kept awake for a decent part of the night by thunderstorms. I love thunderstorms when I'm not trying to sleep. I'm such a light sleeper that even a normal rain shower will keep me awake. Not to mention lightning bright enough to read by and claps of thunder to match.

Discovered that last night's small indulgence (dinner out with friends where I ordered a salad and roasted turkey sandwich but also ate one onion ring) resulted in a 3.2 pound weight gain. WTF.

Remembered that I left my umbrella at work.

Kept having to tell 0verdrive that it wasn't his fault I was in a bad mood. I was just in a bad mood and it had nothing to do with him. Really. I do have occasional moods that are not necessarily caused by external factors. I swear. Not his fault. Seriously. No I do not feel like cuddling. Please go away. Go away or become one of the reasons I am in a bad mood, after all.

Here at work with nothing to do. Wishing I was home doing something creative. Or even cleaning the sewing room. Anything other than another 8 hours here of tedious blah.

And it's supposed to rain all day. We appear to be a month behind in our rain schedule.

I realize that any day above ground is a good day, but cripes I'm in a shitty mood today. I really wish I could just Go Home.

I was in the same headspace all day yesterday, and it doesn't seem to be abating today either.

Maybe the universe is just making us pissy.

Maybe it is at that....

I can identify, and eight hours of tedium are not going to alleviate this mood at all. Any way to duck out at noon and try attacking the sewing room or some of that creativity?

Alas, no.

It turns out that we suddenly have a crisis on our hands. There is a project that we thought we had a week to finish but turns out it needs to be done at 5:00 today. So tons of 10-key entry for me today. Very frustrating since I can only do about 15 minutes at a time then take 15 off before the wrist craps out on me.

Great, more fodder for the black mood. Dealing with the wrist under a deadline might just make today a (insert your poison of choice) day.

Manoman, sorry about the yucky day. I know what your project is -- why doesn't the department just keep spreadsheets of all the reports and just compile them for this project? Sheesh, those Luddites.

Hope you're feeling better.

Glass of whiskey. Gun. Two bullets. Solved.

How about "Any day that you do not wake up to the realization that its been raining most of the morning and you did not put the top up on your convertible last night is a good day.".

Smile, that usually helps.

Ew. Suck. Sorry to hear that.
