lagilman: coffee or die (the general warned me...)
[personal profile] lagilman

Today has been.... a day.

I caught the later bus to work which would have been fine except...

A storm front rolled in, threatening to bucket down on me en route. But that would have been fine since I had my bike and could probably beat it, except...


My bike threw a flat a hundred feet into my ride. But a local farmer driving a pickup truck stopped for me and drove me the two miles to my gig, so that was okay, except...


Halfway through work our internet gave out, causing our POS software to go toes-up. I was able to download the software onto my tablet and use my 4G connection, so that was okay, except...


We had a rush of visitors in the afternoon and I had to hand-enter every single credit card (and couldn't print out receipts). Thankfully, everyone was chill about having to wait, so things were good, except....


I still had to get back to the bus somehow, but Barbara Ferrer came and got me and took me back to have pizza with the family so that turned out okay except...


The bus back into town was 40 minutes late.


But Barbara said "what the hell, it's after rush hour," and drove me back into town.


And now I am home and I still have to get to work somehow tomorrow and figure out how to get the bike to the bike shop (4 miles away) but that is trauma for tomorrow. I'm going to bed now.

I ended up just nodding. None of it is familiar, but all of it is familiar. Especially the "except" part.

It makes for a compelling story!

Yawch! Days when your life resembles a Lemony Snicket plot are much more fun to read about than to live through...

Seems to me that you have someone trying to screw you over--and someone else with a lot more mojo looking after you. Rejoice and be glad.
