Current Mood: Shite

I'm in a pissy mood.

I'm not mad at anyone in particular, mostly it's the kind of pissy that one reserves for the pre-buttcrack of dawn hours in the morning. It is approximately 6:39am and I've already had a shitty day. It started after I dropped my lovely wife off at her work and got to mine. Prior to my arrival at work things were going as well as could be expected given the time. I got to work and dropped my car key. Now, this is not a significant event in itself, but I'll be damned if I couldn't find that stupid key. I searched around the driver seat. I searched around the passenger seat, I moved both seats forward as far as they would go and searched under them. I looked in the back seat, until (five minutes later) I finally found the key wedged under the front seat. I then entered the building. I decided to use the change I had brought to purchase something out of the vending machine for breakfast instead of waiting until lunch time. So I put my money in the maching and made my selection.

Nothing happened.

I swore and cursed at the machine until I realized that I was a nickle short on the price of the item I wanted. Then I realized there wasn't any way I was going to get my money back out of the machine (oddly enough, it doesn't have a coin return in an obvious location). This made me even less happy. I swore at the machine and gave it a swift slap with my hand. Then began digging in my pockets to see if I happened to miss a coin. As it happened, I had one last nickle in my pocket which was just enough to buy my breakfast item.

I had gone with the trusty Cup O' Noodle, and after unwrapping it and adding hot water, I realized that there wasn't any sort of eating implement available... no forks, no spoons, not even a dull knife. So I went back down stairs ready to kill the next person I saw. As it happened, I ran across the company owner, fortunately I was able to keep my homicidal rage to myself as I offered him a good morning in as cheery a voice as I could muster. I went to the downstairs break room and got a plastic fork, made it back to my desk, and am now feeling only slightly less pissed than I was when I started writing this.

Yup... it's going to be an interesting day.
