I think it's a sign...
Mar. 26th, 2010 08:33 amYou know....there are just some days where you're SURE the universe is trying to tell you to just stay home. Today...is one of those days...
I've not been working most Fridays (due to the furloughs). Today is a Friday I'm supposed to work (and every Friday after unless something changes. =D). I'm usually pretty good with remembering to change my alarm to include Friday on those few I've had to work, but last night....it didn't happen. I wasn't feeling well last night and was in bed /early/ (9:00...which is /early/ considering I'm usually in bed by 11:00/11:30...), never did remember to change my alarm to go off this morning. Not....too big of a deal. Nature woke me about fifteen minutes late. I get around, I leave....I end up stuck behind a bus.
So I putter down the road behind what's GOT to be the slowest bus in the world and a drive that usually takes me maybe two minutes tops took six minutes today. Greeeaaat...I'm gonna be late. Finally get out to the main road and away from the bus....only to end up stopped at the railroad tracks waiting for a freight train to go by...there's another five minutes. After that I hit every single red light on my way to the freeway (which was thankfully moving at a decent speed) only to get off downtown to get stopped by another freight train and two commuter trains. *grinds teeth* I'm /tired/, I'm /late/ and I can't tell you how many times I nearly talked myself into turning around and just GOING HOME....
As it is I'm still leaving early...gonna leave at 1:00, drop by my favorite sushi place for a late lunch (thank you mom and dad for that gift card, I love you both so much), and then I'm going home....T~T
*done complaining now...crawls back under rock to sleep a bit*
