Oh Steph! Hope I'm not rehashing your "damn it, this day sucked" mood......but I'm so sorry to hear about your lousy day! Sounds like a typical Monday to me......but then...that's me!

Speaking of shitty days.......I was off to an interview once (many moons ago) and it was a job that I wasn't all that qualified for but I really wanted......so I did the dry run the day before.....and the day of the interview I dressed to the nines (all business like) and, knowing I won't be on time for my own funeral, I left the house a half hour earlier than I truly needed to......and as I was walking across the grass to get to the walk to go up to the entrance.......I stepped in a wad of dog shit (on a hot summer day) and nearly fell on my ass as I slid to the walk. My shoes had those teeny, tiny ridges on the bottom (to prevent slipping) and I couldn't, for the life of me, find a stick that wouldn't keep from breaking as I tried to scrape the poop from between the ridges! I finally scraped and rubbed the shoe on the grass to my satisfaction (not really, but I had to go) and I went to the interview. I left early enough to get there on time (with time to spare, even) and I was still late by the time I got the poop off my shoe! Some people told me (as I didn't know if I got the job after the late interview) that stepping in dog shit was good luck. I said, "Yeah, good luck that people don't keep elephants for pets"! BTW.....I didn't get the job! Blahhhhh!

I agree with Lil.....that there must be another (better) job just around the corner that you need to be available for! Life's Lesson? Watch out for the poop!
