If the first things that happen during a day are any indication on how the rest of the day/week are going to turn out, then this one's going to be a funny one indeed.
I finally got up and walked into the office, knowing that there was just enough water for one cup of coffee. Well, so much for that one. Someone beat me to it. Damn.
My first words of the day were, "I think I'm going to go back to bed."
Then my parents called. Apparently they had agreed that I would need a laptop for work, so they're arranging to get me my savings plus the little extra needed. Definitely on the plus side, that one. Except now I'll be broke after I buy it >_<
Logging on to Neopets, I checked out my little gallery of body parts and find that the Gallery Faerie ("There's no such thing as a Gallery Faerie!" I hear you say? Well, you're mostly right. But some people are nice enough that they actually created accounts based on the idea, and spend their time and hard-earned NP on gifts to others.) dropped by, giving me one of the really expensive items I was missing. Wow.
I stepped outside after that, headed to the store to get some decent water so I could (finally!) have a cup of coffee. And it's stinking hot out there. Ick.
Cup of coffee safely at my elbow, I brave the phone lines to call my old workplace.
Bad: My former boss is still there.
Good: He's not the boss of the department anymore.
Good: The boss of my ex-boss thinks the department is running better now.
Bad: The boss of my ex-boss doesn't want to re-hire me.
Confused? Mixed messages? Just plain mayhem?
You're not alone out there.
