Venting after a totally rotten day.

[Liberty Belle]

Ever have one of those days where you wish you'd stayed home?

First, I got a speeding ticket hurrying to a meeting in the rain.
My hubby got one earlier this month; the cops have decided to stake out our neighborhood to boost local government revenues. I got nailed at the bottom of a hill in a 25 mile zone, where you can't actually go 25 even if you're riding your brake the whole way.

Once I finally arrived at my meeting, I learned that my biggest client is having financial problems, so they're slashing their budget. My writing assignments and pay for the year just got hacked by a third. This comes one day after I learned that my second biggest client fired the editor I write for, so I don't know if I still have work there, either. One more victim of the Bush economy. My oldest starts college this fall, tuition's up 40%, and I don't know where the money's going to come from.

I came home from that meeting, only to find out our right-wing nutcases on the school board are voting THURSDAY on whether to make my kids wear school uniforms--in a public high school! I hit the roof with the school official who told me this, since I had asked to receive plenty of notice before this idiotic proposal came up for a vote. Naturally, when I called the ACLU and asked them to send a representative, they said they can't make it on such short notice, as they have a conflict with another major event the same evening.

I need to let out a primal "Dean scream" before I got frickin' crazy.

2. Sorry for your horrible day

Trouble always seems to come in threes (and fours, and fives). Hope all works out and that tomorrow is better for you.

3. Sounds like a 5 f*ck day....

I rate my days in terms of how many times I use profanity.

I start out with sh*t. If I get to a 5 sh*t day...it's a f*ck day.

A 5 f*ck day is the worst possible day you can have.

F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK!!!!!

Yeah...I've had those days. So sorry.

edited cause I don't know how to use asterisks properly.

4. Therapy...

... for those in your situation.

Go out to the garage. Find something you don't really need and nobody else really needs either.

Smash it to smithereens.

If you want to know what a smithereen is, I can't help you with that :)

8. Sounds fun. I'll go shred something now.

...my day wasn't exactly stellar, either. :hug:
