Oct. 13th, 2004 01:37 amToday was one of those days I shoulda stayed in bed.
It all began when I realized I forgot my bus pass expired. I ran back to my apartment (as fast as I could as my knee's still recovering from paintball), and grabbed some change. I managed to catch the bus and made it to work early, but I still ran late because at the last minute I realized my work shirt got stained by my watch. Apparently the paintball paint reacted with the band and rubbed off (I didn't even notice there was paint on my watch until I walked out the door to head to the bus stop). So I had to get a new shirt, steam it, and put it on. The result? I was five minutes late to work, even though I arrived early.
Then when my shift started, every little annoyance that gets under my skin occured one after another. One customer picked up my tip jar. That's a big no no around me. Isn't it easier just to ask where I got it or how can they get one? Then someone else actually reached into my jar and took out my starter dollar to look at it! All of us have our special starter dollars that we place in the jar. My two have doodles and stamps, so they're both dear to me. It's hard not to be rude or snappy with these people, as that's my money/property. Both customers just went on and on about the jar and the stamped money, but when I said to put it back, only one apologized. I still can't get over how rude people can be without them even knowing it.
After lunch it improved a little, as my sketching upstairs calmed me down considerably. I had this badass Ult!Billy vs. Ult!Vega going, but it was interrupted by one of my co-workers joining me for lunch. Thankfully the sketch is about 40% complete, and she didn't ask me what I was drawing. Phew! XD
The rest of the night went on unventfully, but was rather slow. I got home at a reasonable time since the bus ride was only 15 minutes. That's a world record I think.
And now tomorrow, I must cleeaaannn!
