the worst day. ever.

It started out with Unclemonkeyboi running somewhat late for work. I offered to drive him to BART if he waited for me to take a shower. We left the house and headed for the gas station to fill up my car. I had apparently been MUCH closer to being out of gas than I thought, because we got less than half a block when the car died. After many starts and gooses and pushes from UMB, I finally got to the block where the station sits. They wouldn't loan me a gas can, so I had to pay 15 bucks for one (out of the 30 total I had to my name...) and carried the gas to the car. I managed to spill a lot of it on my while filling the car up enough to get to the station.

Finally on the road with less than 15 minutes to get UMB to work... I had given up on dropping him off at BART, he was going to be late as it was... I realized on the way that I hadn't voted in today's recall election. So I stepped on the gas, making UMB very nervous.

After dropping him off (a couple minutes late) I headed back to my polling place by the house. There, they couldn't find my name in the registrar book. So I had to fill out 3 forms explained in great detail by a woman who must have been older than Noah. Cast my ballot, only to be told that I just spent 45 minutes voting, and my vote may not count if they can't find my original registration information. Honestly.. I just got called for Jury Duty, surely they have my registration information somewhere!

So I'm now hopelessly behind schedule for the day... and decide to stop at McDonald's for a sandwich on the way to work. The moron in front of me was apparently paying for his 23.00 order in pennies and it took 15 minutes to get my food. As I pulled up to the window, the girl leans out and dumps my Mr. Pibb in my lap. This required me to go home AGAIN to change clothes.

I FINALLY get to work in time for the meeting that was planned to discuss my future in the division in light of the recent managerial changes... only to get no real answers except that there is a very good chance that I will have to report to a different supervisor. This sucks.

SO then I get work on the term paper that was due for my anthropology class tonight... on whether or not the belief in UFOs can be viewed as a religion. I end up having all sorts of problems printing it out... finally after 2 reboots get it to print... rush off to get stuck in traffic on the way, and ended up being over a half hour late for class. Have I mentioned that I had other homework due that I didn't even start?

Some where in the middle of all of this, my parents called to tell me that they lost their court case, and are now going to be held responsible for all the medical bills associated with a car accident they were involved in 3 or 4 years ago.

And.... the news of the day is that Schwarzenegger is now the governor.

I hope I go to bed tonight and wake up in Canada.
