ever had one of those days?
14 years ago
or weeks XD lets see...
tuesday, we had folks over, one couple came, apparently there was drama and he got pissed at her and started a scene... then left when she got upset at him... and then the next three hours were spent dealing with him threatening suicide...
wednesday i got up, power company showed up while I was messing around before work, shut our power off for maintenance but didn't warn us... so I backed out of the driveway around the first truck to go get an early lunch at 2... came back at 2:30 and a second truck was COMPLETELY blocking the driveway, so i ended up wandering around town for an hour before I just said screw it and went to work a half hour early...manager heard my story and clocked me in early... then I was scheduled out at 11, but we got wicked busy all the way up to close so I got stuck closing... didn't get out of the store until like 2...and I was too busy to stop and eat...so like 12 hour shift...and 12 hours without eating... I was getting irritable... ended up not actually getting to sleep until sunup...
thursday, thank god I was off, but i was asleep at 7...housemate woke me at 11 to ask if he could borrow 10 bucks to take his girlfriend out, which I was happy to loan him...unfortunately I couldn't get back to sleep no matter what I tried so I just sat up for...freakin...ever... ended up getting sucked out of the house at like 5...6...and didn't get home until 2 in the morning, again...
friday... I woke up rather grumpy, but i did, got ready, went to work... slow...as...FUCK... I literally was struggling to find shit to do... then, this is the good part... I go out on a delivery, and my car starts overheating... I do what I can to cool it down on the way back to the store, then the stress of thinking how I needed to be ready for the next delivery made me act on a BAD habit from my familys racing days... (dirt track, stock cars...between heats you don't have time to let the engines cool down so you grab a towel and pop the radiator caps carefully and spray the whole mess with cold water and pump the cold water in to get it ready for the next heat). I grabbed my towel from behind the seat, and my water jug, and popped the radiator cap... here is where things get fun...normally this was never a problem on the track, because we used bigass cars with bigass radiators...well, a tiny car with a tiny radiator... i think that would explain why the explosive pressure that came was far more than what I was used to...blew the cap clean off and the blast blew the towel out of my hand...I got a blast from the radiator full on the left side of my face...fortunately there wasn't any lasting damage, just a tingling sensation for a while and a little bit of numbness... but if I hadn't cooled it down on the way back with the wind it could have been a catastrophe... then while I'm recovering from that and pouring water back in... the closing driver shows up and gets fired on the spot... and manager looks at me and says "you feel like closing tonight?" ...fuck...no... fortunately one of the other drivers was perfectly willing to cover the closing shift... i was in at 3... and if I'd closed, I wouldn't have gotten OUT of the store until 3... nuh uh...
saturday, friends are all doing shit, of course without me, because I have to work...though i wouldn't be welcome at half of the events anyway because the member of our group organizing the outings apparently doesn't like me...for some stupid fucking reason... he expressly didn't invite me to his bachelor party, or his wedding, and I was excluded from going to see Green Lantern...
Sunday, no fucking clue...and oh, just joyous... I'm scheduled this coming Thursday from 4-11:30, almost EXACTLY the span of time we had a group gaming thing scheduled...
...my....fucking...brain...hurts... >.>
