Just not my day...

perkinke

So this morning I decided to try a light workout before work...and stuck my hand on a carpet tack while doing pushups. Then I go to take a shower...and see that my shower has backed up and clogged. Drano just pools in the standing water. Can't exactly be one of the primary points of contact for an elected official's office when you're sweaty and grimy so I'm home until the plumber gets here, which won't be until after 5 according to my landlord. Then, every light I turn on burned out. Every. Single. One. And I'm out of bulbs (it's a sunny morning so that's not terrible). Since I can't go to work, I do a hobo shower in the sink to take care of the worst and go to the PO to mail my end of a trade. The kiosk only prints an inch of my postage label. So I go to the counter, the worker goes and checks and sure enough, printer died. Just died. Not one of those things by themselves is a big deal, but all in the span of four hours? Needless to say I'm steering clear of anything that may be able to kill me today.

I feel sorry for the guy you sent sticks to. Bad mojo in that box. Hope tomorrow is better.

I considered stopping by the Catholic Church and the Buddhist temple on my way there to have the box exorcised, but thought I'd risk it (no deity worth talking to would mess with a man's sticks). The rest of the day didn't go badly, but then again I didn't do much other than sit on the couch and order pizza. I was too scared to cook and risk blowing up the neighborhood.
