Today sucked. The end.

What? You want me to elaborate? Geez, you can be so demanding, Internet.

First it rained all day today. Now I love the rain. But only when I can either (1) run through it and splash in the puddles or (2) put on my comfy bunny slippers and crawl under the covers to be serenaded to sleep by the pitter patter of raindrops. Neither of those were possible while I was sitting in front of a computer tucked away in my cubicle.

I left the house this morning wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt because it was like 80 degrees outside. After the rain the temperature dropped twenty degrees and I was shivering in the 59 degree weather on the way home.

And I had plenty of time to shiver because I had a long trip home. Since I had class tonight I left work a little early so I’d have time to grab a bite to eat. But then I got stopped by a train downtown. FOR TWENTY FIVE MINUTES. I’m thinking seriously about a strongly worded letter to the city council to rectify this downtown train during rush hour traffic situation. I, of course, say that like we actually have rush hour traffic here. Rush hour traffic here is when four cars are stopped at a stop light for 1.75 minutes.

Once the train was on its way I finally made it home with less than ten minutes to shovel some food in my mouth. Luckily Lee has a bowl of rice waiting for me when I got home.

But at home I was confronted with Justis’ mid-term grades. Saying his grades are “not good” would be a complete understatement. LIkewise, saying I was “not pleased” would also be a huge understatement. I was pissed. And I wanted to make sure everybody knew it. We got in to a big yelling match were I tried to pull rank and Justis’ tried his best to look as disinterested as possible. Yeah, it got us nowhere, but me being late for school.

I was still fuming on my way to school. But then I looked up at the car in front of me. They had a personalized license plate that read:

Seriously! Was this just a big coincidence? Or was the big man upstairs sending me a message? Either way I decided to take that car’s advice and lighten up.

So this is where I’m at now. I’m now taking advice from motor vehicles. I’m just one step away from a straight jacket.
