Rough day...

Man, this sounds like the beginning of 'Stripes'...
lost girlfriend, lost job, dropped pizza bought with last dollar...etc.
I'll have to think real hard before I can come up with a better one than that..

So...Plan for today was to meet up at the practice space at about 11 this morning and spend a couple hours getting it cleaned up and organized before we had another singer come down to audition. I was fully prepared to do just that...along with getting my bike (motorcycle) put away for the winter, and a handful of other odds and ends that I didn't get done on Saturday because it rained all damn day.

So that was the plan. Wake up about 8 or so, get some stuff done, then go to practice and have a nice, relaxing day... But then I had a couple friends over, and I ended up staying up until 3 in the morning playing Fallout 3 and drinking beer last night. Oops.

Needless to day, that just set me up for failure. I woke up at 6am this morning, thought to myself: Eh...It wouldn't hurt to get up now. Get an early start on the day, then just go to bed early. Wait...on second thought...NAH! So I fall back to sleep, expecting to squeeze in a couple more hours. Yeah...well...

I wake up again and look at the clock... 1:27pm. AAAAAAAH!!!!!:eek: Grab my phone off the dresser and I've got 6 Dude, where are you? text messages, 10 missed calls and 4 voicemails. AAAAAAH!!!! So I call up the guys and tell them what's going on. They were cool with it, of course. Just get here when you get here.

Here's the part where the stress starts. And this all happened within an hour's time mind you: Go to grab some clothes, and find out that I forgot to do laundry! AAAAH!! So I pick out the cleanest stuff I could find from the dirty pile. Run upstairs to shower, look in the mirror and realize that I look like I've been lost in the woods for 3 weeks and desperately need to shave. AAAAH! Grab a razor and the shaving cream aaaaaaand....shaving cream is empty. AAAAAH!! Thankfully had another can after rummaging around for a minute. Jumped in the shower and find...someone used the last of the soap! AAAAAH!! Had to get back out and find another bar.

After the fastest shower in history, manage to get into my car and get on the road. Things went smootly till I get to Dunkin' Donuts to snag some food. Grab an ice coffee and a sammich....and I'm just about to pull out of the driveway when I realize that the moron's didn't give me a straw. AAAAAH!!! Had to turn back around and go inside to get one. Then...and I swear this is just what pushed me over the edge...I proceeded to run into every single red light and silver haired leaf watcher between my house and the pactice space. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! :mad:

So by the time I got there, I had only been up for an hour. Still rubbing the eye-boogers out of my eyes and half in a haze. On top of that, I'm just a joyous little bundle of stress at this point. Thankfully, I was able to chill out and enjoy practice...

I hate sleeping past my alarm, especially on the weekends. It's like the whole day has passed you by at that point. This was just one of those days when a bunch of little annoyances, combined with being in a hurry, just made for one crappy day...But I'm sure there's been worse. Let's hear 'em!

Have a kid. You'll never oversleep again. Ever.

Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast
Wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
It's the one I'm wearin'
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

Can't say my sunday was so bad but I also stayed up till the early hours of the morning playing fall out 3, hope next weekend is better for you

Sorry to hear it man. I honestly cannot remember what a good day feels like. You remember that scene in office space where Peter is describing how every new day is the worst day of his life? Its kinda of like that.

And yes I hate getting up late on the weekends too. I know I want to sleep, but the rest of me is saying dude, get up. Enjoy not being at work. And then I realize I still have to go to work, darn.

Well it was just one day, things will look up for later DnD. Just gotta take life as it comes.

BTW, how is Fallout 3? I've heard good things.

The story of my life....
