Just one of -those- days.

Ever have one? When you literally can't do anything. It's so terrible it's almost funny. Almost. I'm literally sitting here laughing because I can't seem to get anything else right. This was insane...starting from this morning (You've got to read through this...it's hilariously bad)
I forgot how to eat...Like, couldn't remember for about fifteen seconds what I was supposed to do with the food...Just...blank.
On the way back up, I just decided I wasn't going to walk and almost fell flat on my face half-way up the stairs...lovely.
Decided I might as well do something I know how to do and work on the fursuits I have in the queue...yeah, no. Bad idea. I get upstairs and sit down to work, then remember that the fur I had was damaged and wouldn't work so I sit down and try to get into my e-mail...and fail at that, seeing as how I had the wrong USERNAME in the field...not the wrong password, just the username. So I start transferring the pattern to the fur and welp...one of my pens decides to die, so I have to go get the other one...of course, that one is on the shelf and when I reach up to take it from the bin, I drop that on my head...and suddenly, mess of pens and writing tools and a rather sore head. Great way to start the day.
On the way to work; I miss the turn I was supposed to take...so I run to the bank to do a transfer first, then go to work. While there, I decide that the first thing I should do is cut up some boxes so I can have something to put the orders in...And end up cutting my paws...twice. and of COURSE I just changed the blade in my box cutter so it's STILL bleeding after about...oh almost 12 hours >.>; but at least it doesn't hurt.
I then proceed to manage to somehow give myself a paper cut on my palm by flicking a reel tape (it's a little piece of paper between the crimping pins) back into position which somehow magically cuts into the side of my palm, even if I didn't hold the paper, or as far as I'm aware, TOUCH the damn stuff with that paw...by this time I've managed to cut myself three times in about 30 minutes. Awesome.
Moving on: I have a co-worker who wanted me to make up an LED lighting kit for him. So while I'm doing that, I manage the following: I miss placing two of the heat shrink on the wire BEFORE soldering it on, so I have to redo the solder. Then I have the heat shrink placed wrong...so I have to replace it. THEN I have to cut down the LED's and forgot to add in the resistors...so I add those, then try again...and miss more heat shrink because I'm just awesome like that.
Anyway, after burning myself twice with molten solder AND the soldering pen, I get that done...then find out that I wired the LED's in reverse -.-;
So I fix that with no issues (Thank goodness) and suddenly I have 260 parts to make in four hours. Of course, with my luck: The applicator breaks a piece of the anvil off because I accidentally "double crimped" a pin. So I have to wait for that to be fixed. THEN the next reel of pins they wanted on the end of these wires, was messed up so I had to sit there, pick through the pins and only use the ones that would work.
To ADD to that, these wires? we have a machine that is SUPPOSED to strip them at a set length...it's consistently inconsistent SO -all- of my crimps were done by feel and stripped by hand...about 20% of those were messed up so I had to cut even more.
What's more, I had to go and make a bunch of battery packs today, which, on any other day, is no big deal. Today though...We'll say it was a disaster. I had a total of...I think 16 packs to make. 1 custom, 5 with 2 batteries/pack and 10 with 6 batteries/pack. The custom pack I almost did backwards...and managed to use the wrong soldering tab so I had to replace that. The order for 5 packs I forgot about the thermal (breaks the connection if the pack overheats) and had to take off a bunch of connecting tabs. For the ten...That was the worst. I not only had the thermal in the wrong place, but I used the wrong soldering tab...Thankfully, our tech decided that it wouldn't make a difference and sent em anyway...
After work, we drop the car off at the shop and I forgot to leave the keys with it so we turned around, dropped those off and went back home. First thing I want to do when I get home is something I know I'm good at...fursuits. So I go upstairs and guess what...That box cutter I used to open those boxes is also the tool I use to cut fur...and it's at work. Go figure. So I decide I'll take a day and try to relax...play some games. But of course I'm really way off my game today and nothing is going right. So, off to modeling it is...until Maya decides that everything is in the wrong spot and can't open my project files right now. something I'll fix when I'm not so stupid. So I give writing a shot and find out that NOTHING I'm writing makes any sense whatsoever. So I nix that idea and just hover around forums >.< Hell, even CGSociety is making me feel really inadequate. Something that site never does -.-; Just...*flail* AHHHHH Lols...Help me, I'm dying xP.
So for today...I think my total injury count has exceeded my daily quota of...idk, usually two. Lets see...
Three cuts, two burns, had things fall on me once, five scratches, three shocks...Yeah. I think I met my quota for the rest of the week.
Yeah, just one of those days where everything's gone wrong and you just can't be pissed off anymore...It's just too stupid and unbelievable to make any sense... I must be living in a dream or something, this is ridiculous.
