Bad Morning

[rusty_armour]

The day hasn't started off well. Despite doing my utmost to leave earlier and be on time for work, I was almost 20 minutes late. This was due to a massive subway delay. As the train kept being asked to remain at each station for about 10 minutes or more by Transit Control, I hopped out at Sheppard and took another train to Don Mills. Then I took the 25D Don Mills bus the rest of the way to work. Although I was probably lucky not to arrive any later than I did, I became even more grumpy when I walked into my cubicle and discovered that my chair was missing. The mystery was quickly solved as two co-workers were having a pow-wow in the other row and had borrowed the chair. They apologized and quickly returned it.

After managing to sit down and log on to my computer, I figured that things should go a little more smoothly. However, I discovered that the Alberta database didn't want to play when I tried doing some parallel work. After repeated attempts to get it to work, I decided to leave it alone until it decided to grow up. During one of my negotiation sessions with the Alberta database, I decided to use the washroom and was reminded about how I had bashed the toes on my left foot yesterday when I started walking in my granny boots. You would think my purple baby toe would have been a hint that wearing granny boots would not be a good idea. I changed back into my winter boots as soon as I returned to my cubicle.

Fate: Well, you didn't think I would make your last day of work in 2009 easy, did you? Ha ha hah! Not on my watch, bitch.

rusty_armour: Thanks. I fuckin' hate you too.

Oh, well. On a brighter note, I was able to discuss "The Waters of Mars" with a co-worker who's also into Doctor Who and I'm having dinner with pyrateanny and my sister, which should be nice. Oh, and it's the last day I have to work in 2009! Woo hoo! :-)

Okay, I'd say that your transit experience was much worse than mine! My problems with the TTC only lasted for about an hour, whereas your problems with the trains lasted for the entire day! I'd say that you were much more entitled to a rant considering what you went through! What a nightmare! :-(

I'm glad you made it home safely in the end. At least you won't have to study for the rest of the year. I hope you do pass your exam. I know it's hard, but try not to worry about it and enjoy the holidays.

Thanks for your sympathy about my toes. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well! :-)

I'm so sorry I used your LJ to rant. Reading this comment over again I feel that I was being selfish. I promise I won't be whining again on your LJ, at least for a long time. :) Again, I hope you have lots of fun over the holidays and get some much needed rest!
