Don''t you hate it when...everyday annoyances!

[metro]

I don''t know if anyone will reply to this thread or not, but I gotta vent cuz I''m having "one of those" days.

First off, I got-up 45-minutes early but somehow managed to be 15 mins. late for work

Then I forgot my coffee on the drive-in to work. Ahhhh!

During my lunch break, I decided to treat myself to a pedi. All was good until the drying. After the dryer for my tootsies chimed with a times-up, I reached down and barely touched my big toe, causing a ripple in the polish

The nail tech came over and I apologized as she removed polish and repainted my nail. Under the dyer again....Beeped again...Okay, ready to go! She tells me, don''t wear shoes for 2-hours

. So I asked to purchase a pair of flip-flops to wear to the office (gonna sneak in the back and run to my desk!), but the only pair they had was a little too big. No problem, I thought…So as I was sliding my foot into the flip-flop, I somehow managed to mess up the same big toe AGAIN! The tech was pissed! She had to remove and repaint AGAIN.

I sat under the dryer - waited for my “times-up” beep and off I went. I snuck in the back door at the office - trying to briskly walk to my desk when my large flip-flop threw me off with the carpet, and I stumbled and fell to the ground

! Thankfully, no one saw me and I was unscathed, but my big toe - yeah, it''s screwed. Nail polish rubbed on the office floor carpet.

I went to the bathroom to try to regroup and upon face inspection, I noticed I had broccoli in my teeth

left over from my lunch.

Great.....

I just hope it gets better. I''m not gonna move from my seat until time to go home.

Talk about a case of the Mondays!

Anyone else?

I understand...

There is a reason I am home today (at least so far)... Sometimes its better not to rush in.

A few more hours of sleep can do wonders.

Ohhhh....that's so bad it's almost funny!!

I'm sure it wasn't for you though.....

Still, I guess you have to look at the lighter-side of things...otherwise you'll go crazy sometimes.

Nailpolish can be very frustrating,though!! I completely sympathize!

 

[Rhea]

Oh what a day. I hope that you have time to enjoy a relaxing candle-lit bath with a very large glass of wine this evening.

You day can only get better from here...right?

 

[metro]

Well, it''s almost time to get outta here and go home (I''m at work - blah)! I''ve gotta stop and the drugstore to buy some touch-up nail polish so I can repaint my toes tonight

but hopefully this eveing will be much smoother.

HAVE A GOOD ONE, ALL!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Oh Metro! Not your day at all! Hope tonight goes MUCH better.

My day was that way yesterday except I was fishing. We get up and I just couldn''t seem to get it all together, ended up forgetting my spf for my lips. got to the gas station and the pumps weren''t reading cards. I pay for truck gas and SO pays for boat gas so we BOTH have to go in... grumble. We always stop at a place called Boondocks to get sausage biscuits to go (their biscuits are amazing) this took 15 mins this time (normally 5 at the most). We get unloaded and in the boat (yay). Get to our first spot, the tide is coming in.... and (this was cool but ruined fishing chances) a dolphin starts feeding on the oyster bar we are fishing off of (about 2 feet of water, he was splashing we took pics of course). SO we move, upon moving we find a great hole with lots of whiting biting. But alas, I get a GIANT knot in my line and SO has to rerig my line (so annoying). FINALLY we both get in the water... and 2 kicker boats (motor boats, us airboaters call them kickers) go by and make TON o noise and leave huge wakes nearly knocking us out of the boat (not good fisherman boater etiquette). So finally we fish for a while and catch about 40 whiting, releasing most only to realize we could have kept them as they don''t have as many bones and are easy to cook. THEN I catch an 18 inch trout..... I look down at the seasons and realize that my big daddy awesome trout has to be released because you can''t keep them in February :''( . THEN we ran out of SHRIMP which fortunately my grandparents were leaving and had some leftover so we got to fish with them... but we didn''t catch any fish after that. SO got sunburnt, and I didn''t but had one random blotchy sunburn spot on my hand that is very noticeable and everyone is laughing at me today. ....... The next trip sure needs to be better.

 

[Selkie]

But Dragonfly, you''re clearly lucky enough to live somewhere where you can go fishing on the ocean IN FEBRUARY! Count your blessings!

And don''t they say a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work?

 

[Fly Girl]

metro - Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the read. Never had a pedicure over lunch, in fact, never had a pedicure that I didn''t give myself. Didn''t realize until now what I was missing!

I have forgotten my coffee at home that I drink on the drive in, and that sucks. Even worse is periodically my favorite travel mug top fails, and it becomes a dribble mug.

Then I have coffee all down my front, and hopefully I''m wearing a brown shirt and not a white one!

Have a better day tomorrow!!

 

[jcrow]

omg. i''m crying over here!
i sure hope your afternoon/night went better!!

 

[door knob solitaire]

Metro...I am so sorry...but your writing...has me in...a laughing fit! I said I was sorry. I really am...But that dang big toe has got to go!

Look tomorrow is another day...please come back and give me another laugh...sorry really I am.

 

[CrownJewel]

Aw metro! You poor thing. I have those kinds of days too, and I just want to scream out of frustration. But you can try to fix your pedicure by dipping your index finger in nail polish remover (assuming it's not painted) and lightly running it over the smudged nail polish. It won't fix it completely, but it'll smooth out the smudge.

Dragonfly, I love fishing but haven't gone since I was a tiny girl. Sounds like you had a frustrating experience too!

I have to admit, these stories are so sad they're funny.

Sorry. No...not funny.

 

[Elmorton]

Awww Metro, hope it gets better! That is ALWAYS me in the nail salon...I have to go to about four different places, hoping that the tech will forget that I''m the lady that will always bump into something (WHY, WHY do they put a candy dish at the drying station? That is UNFAIR!)

Anyway, your day made me think of those commercials for laughing cow cheese. If you drove your car to work today, make sure you don''t take the bus home!!!

 

[HollyS]

Thanks Metro; I needed a good snicker!! I wasn''t laughing at you -- honest I wasn''t -- just remembering my own less than fabulous Monday. Boy, you made mine look like no big deal!

p.s. I never get a professional pedicure until it''s warm enough for sandals; I''m afraid of screwing up the polish. And shoes/boots wear the polish fast. But this is Texas, so just about 1 1/2 mos to go to full time sandal feet! I can''t wait! These tootsies need to breathe!!
