Days like this...

[lithera]

You know, I thought yesterday was kind of lame. It takes a day like today to teach me that days like yesterday are but small bumps in the road of life. I'm currently very amused by life because I think were I not amused, I would cry.

So. I get up early so I can get to work early because there is this review thing at 8:00. I like to get into work at 7:30 to start with, so getting in earlier was a good plan. I get up, take a shower, get dressed. Take care of Morla, clean up the kitchen some and head out to my car. Yeah. You guessed it. Here is problem fun number one. I start the car. Everything seems grand. Then... for whatever reason, the button on the shifter won't go in. I cannot change the car from Park to anything else. Mind you, I have had this problem before and it is normally just a temporary thing... a quirk of the car. Not so this morning. Tracer X is going no where. So, Sean, I appologize for my car being where yours should be when you get home this evening.... because I can't move it.

I get on the bus, which is late, and head downtown. The bus almost crashes into a Cadillac and we stop and hang out on Aurora for awhile to make sure everyone is okay and then move on. I get to work... a bit late. Like... 20 minutes late. Luckily my part in the review hadn't started yet. Once it does, there are problems. Nothing I can't fix but my boss' boss' boss is sitting in since his flight to the conference everyone else is at got cancelled. Wheeee. Look something is wrong and it is in my area so... Yeah. That's great.

The clip on my badge holder shattered as I was getting coffee.

I'm hoping this is done for the day. I really... Things tend to turn around as the day goes on. I can imagine way for this to get worse but they start boardering on ludicris really quickly and involve some sort of personal injury.

I knew I'd been handing out luck and prayers to people. I just hadn't realized I was running quite this low.

*sigh*

Thanks Jameel.

I'm feeling better now, though.

Be safe going home.

And the locked shifter thing could be that the car has rolled forward (or backward) to the point of locking the transmission in park

OR

it could be that it wasn't registering that you were pushing the brake in.

*shrug* Here's hoping it is the first issue, not the second one.

*hug again*

Yeah. I'm going to go home and try a few things with th car. I'm hoping that it was something simple or that the car has something that helps to trip that sort of thing, as apparently some cars do. So... I'll see how things go.

Thanks. The day has gotten better but ... I'm still a little leery of it all.

That and there are like... three things I cannot find in Christmas shopping. I am becoming a bit annoyed with it.

You could try Tacoma mall....

I could but that's quite a trip. Especially if the car continues to be lame. I might try the Alderwood area this weekend. Mmmmmm.
