Unpleasantness
I think it's safe to say that, as far as Tuesdays in my own personal lifetime go, this ranks among the most unpleasant. Nothing absolutely horrific has occurred of course (don't panic, as the Hitchhiker's Guide would tell you), but this is still a Tuesday I'm glad is over and would as soon forget.
It all began with...wait for it...snow. More specifically, me looking out the window and discovering a blizzard doing its best to cover the roads in icy slush. At which it was succeeding. This wouldn't have been quite so bad had my analogue alarm clock not gotten its hands stuck at 6:30 and subsequently not gone off at the required time. I woke up 20 minutes before I'd need to leave on a good day.
This being the not-a-good-day Tuesday, however, it took 40 minutes to get through a stretch of highway that normally takes 4 minutes. So there was the arriving to work late. Mel, on the other hand, got back home to discover that some visiting dipstick had taken our private, prepaid spot in the parking garage. (Fortunately, the Super was as livid as she was upon hearing this, and quickly located & dispatched the offending idiot's car.)
As I toiled away in a rather empty store with very little of anything to do except comment about how it was rather empty and that I had very little to do, Mel got to nurse our puppy. And when I say "nurse", I mean: clean up all the vomit and liquid poop left in the wake of Shady once again thinking that kitty poop is a super tasty treat.
...and now just to top the day off, we get to hear the sad news about actor Heath Ledger's death. I have to admit my own disheartened feelings; not only did I consider Ledger to be a fantastic actor, but he was also the top of Mel's "lust" list and subsequently my own "hot guys Mel may just have to fight me for, were I so inclined to lean that way and the opportunity availed itself" list. (And upon inspection, I don't think there's any way I can give that title a proper acronym.)
This is just turning into one hell of a Tuesday.
In the immortal words of the transcriber for the
Bugger All This version of the Bible: "And ye did Moses spake unto the Israelites the laws of the Lord, and ye did the Israelites bow down and--Bugger all this for a lark. They aren't paying me enough to copy out this shite. I'm going to ye pub."
