Excercising my right to bitch...

General
...on a journal no one reads anyways.
Had kind of a shitty day today, so I felt like rambling about it, because my alternatives are to either go to bed (not sleepy yet) or surf the net and have my stream of bad luck continue. Soo, instead i'm taking it out here where no one will see.
Today seemed to start fairly well. Other than being woken up by one of my roommates on his way out the door by him 'mock attacking' me and mentioning how much it would have hurt if he weren't such a nice guy. This is not out of the ordinary for me. I dont even mind that any more, but if i'm bitching, i may as well nitpick too. Anywho, I dragged myself up after the roommies left to find a note on my computer chair. 'Today clothes cant be done because i have no soap to wash clothes. But go ahead and do the regular chores and dishes. Thanks' There again, not bad, fairly normal.
Soo, of course, I immediately procrastinate as I do every day and get on my computer instead. See an old friend, get in a long 'conversation', have lots of fun, lose track of time, realize that if i'm going to pick up my roommates kids from school, as they called me to have me do, I gotta get my ass in gear and get my chores done, so I make a hasty retreat from the internet. Apparently I forgot to shut my computer all the way down however...
Anywho, I rush through dishes, cleaning out my ferrets cage, feeding and watering them and the dogs, and just in time for me to snag a quick shower, preemptively change to my work clothes, and head off to get the kids.
I pick up the kids, head to the house, grab a bite to eat, and head out to work, no real problems, roommates get home long before i have to leave, I get out the door a little later than normal, but considering 'normal' puts me at about twenty five minutes early into work most days, i'm not worried. Traffic sucks, but 5 o'clock traffic always does. I still get to work with about 15 minutes to spare.
However, this is where my day really takes the biggest, and really only terribly bad blow. As I'm pulling towards the employee part of the parking lot of the large Target retail store I work at (ie: the third of the lot where no one, not even employees park since its rediculously far from the only entrance. I dont mind the walk, so i do) I see a car parked on the 'road' part at the back of the lot facing me. As I go to turn down one of the isles before I pass him, he honks his horn at me. Wondering what is wrong, I look closer and see... a long ass black snake slithering across the isle I was about to pull into.
Now, I'm not a fan of snakes honestly. Never would want one as a pet, though I have nothing seriously against them. I swerved to miss him and pulled down about fifteen parking spaces as I look back, seeing him slithering towards the road. I get out in a perky mood, thinking these guys must be okay, since they're making sure this three and a half foot long black snake (which i'll admit was pretty cool looking from the safety of my car.) dident get run over by inattentive people like myself. Soo, I decided to walk over to their car and see if they want me to go in and call the Humane society or Animal control to come take care of it so it dosent get hurt or scare guests. It was heading AWAY from the store, so I dident have to worry about the latter really.
I got about four parking spaces from where they were when all of a sudden they slam on the gass just as the snake was getting to the part of the road in front of them, and I hear one guy laughing and hooting as I watch the sick little thuds of the snake rolling under the tires. Once again, I have no love for snakes, but my heart dropped to my ankles and I froze. By the time I recovered enough to spout just about every other curse i could think of the snake had whipped around a few times and curled up on top of itself enough to let me know it was very dead.
As you can imagine this put me in kind of a sour mood for most of my work day, hence the need for current bitching. Most of the time I'm the happiest guy at my job, leading to lots of strange looks from my co-workers, but an overall good time working. They dident know how to take me being quiet and pissed off looking, especially considering I was covering a Cashiers shift and hardly talking to any of the guests. Two or three of them asked if I was alright, but the first people I mentioned the incident to looked at me like I was being rediculous for giving a fuck and one of them was laughing when I asked if they needed to call animal control or the humane society or something.
So, the rest of my night went on pretty slow, and honestly after that the worst I had to complain about was my back giving me trouble (flares up from time to time, used to it) and the fact that they were out of pepsi at the fountain where I get my drinks.
Anywho, I got home, came in, got bitched out by one of my half awake roommates for not doing the water hose exactly her way when I watered the dogs, for my computer being on (and given the rediculous ultimatum of 'if i find it left on like that again your gonna pay twenty dollars every time.) as well as an attempted guilting over the hose a second time (if its too damn hard for you to water the dogs right i'll do it my own damn self (she hates the dogs, and i know that i'd never hear the end of it))
Anywho... to top things off, before I got to writing this journal I found out that the little meme i'd tried to add to was a violation of FA terms, so I had to take down the little Trainer cards thing that everyone's been doing... So much for contributing, eh? And before anyone says anything, no, I dont dissagree with the rule, just felt like it was the icing on the cake for my day. So, I took them down, and decided to rant...
Anywho, enough rambling for me tonight... I'm off to bed here shortly
