My Day.

[Tommy Allison]

So, if there was a day when all things could possibly go haywire, it is today.

My day started with finding out that a customer who got their stuff from me almost a year ago, did a charge back, and cost me 200 bucks. UPS and USPS apparently recycle the numbers after 6 months, and since you can't verify shit, you're screwed.

So I'm out a bunch of cash. I then find out we're skating financially after paying some unforseen car related bills. I shrug it off, because what can you do? You just grin and bear it and hope things work out. I now have to replace an alternator.

Tonight, we also had friends over for dinner. We got an assload of snow. The wife reads the snow emergency thing wrong, and our friends get a nice fat ticket for parking on the street, when they were getting ready to take off. The cops did not give a shit, they told them too bad. Even though the goddamned website for the city said nothing was going to be plowed until Sunday Morning at 7:00 AM.

Then our other friend who was there, her upstairs neighbor's toilet sprung a leak causing a shitload of damage. My wife and I take our other friend home, so I can see what the deal is, and possibly fix it. Well, we get there, and of course it's just a leaky ring on it. I get to fix it tomorrow for them. So we drive home, and guess what? I find out that my fucking tools were stolen out of the garage.

I am fucking livid right now, because I have no idea when the theft occurred. All I know is now I have to lock my fucking garage every time I leave the house.

So now, on top of the alternator, I get to buy a new set of fucking tools, so I can fix my car, and of course my friend's toilet. People fucking suck, and I stand by my words that we would be better off if we rounded up every fucking douchebag, and threw their asses onto a bonfire.

Then when I went to rant about how shitty my day was, the paracast website was down for about a half hour.

There are not enough bullets to cure what ails humanity.

This is meant to be sickening sweet and sarcastic. What else do ya say to your post but real bummer!

I predict that a large lady with halitosis and a moustache will shortly approach you saying "It looks like somebody needs a hug!"

Tommy, can you separate yourself from the experience and get philosophical? Just why does the 'universe' do stuff like that all at once? Did you let down a psychological guard?

Its almost as interesting a topic as synchronicities.

that does suck, big time. Two of my sons are going through something similar these last few months. They keep working their way through it, but they are getting tired and a bit dispirited, and I can only help so much at a time. Nowhere near enough to make a difference big enough to improve things.

not much you can do, other than try to keep a sense of humour about it, and that won't buy a new set of tools, will it?

Cheer up Tommy, tomorrow is a brand new day!

... and put up a sign on your garage door:

Being philosophical really doesn't explain the shitstorm that I and my circle of friends were subjected to yesterday.

As far as a psychological guard, I don't think psychology really plays a part in this, other than my venting about a truly shitty day.

From my perspective, I simply acknowledge it as proof that human beings are simply useless eaters who fuck over others at every turn because it gratifies them.
