Murphy's Laughter

It was one of those days that makes you truly appreciate the good days that much more.

One thing after another went wrong...it was almost funny. I felt like I was in a Chevy Chase National Lampoon movie, or some black comedy, where disaster follows disaster and the poor main character just stands reeling in the middle of a highway, unable to move because he is boxed in by speeding cars. Yep. That kind of day.

I could almost time the next problem to arrive, as if on cue. I am not going to get into details, some of what occurred were things going wrong for other people, I don't blame them for that. But it sure sucked when I was counting on them to come through. I am going to try and believe the best about them because other wise it would make for uncomfortable times at work, and that would be even worse. Holding grudges over little things is not going to help me at all. So.. I am letting it go.

But it was not 'just' them..it was the storage facility, the truck rental, the lack of the sales person telling me the true price of things, my poor credit (as in no credit cards)..and it continued on with stupid little things like a light bulb blown out (that was just replaced) a parking space stolen when no one else has ever parked in it before, stomping screaming children upstairs from me...
see? I know that damn Murphy is sitting high above me on a cloud and laughing his ass off. Bugger.

So getting out of bed...or planning on this day for weeks..I've got to wonder...the best laid plans of mice and men...or women. I think I will re-wind this day and play it back for a movie contract.
It's gotta be worth something...days this ridiculously bad should have some sort of compensation thrown in. I'll be waiting by the mailbox for my check to arrive.
