You could say I am not having one of my best days. It started bad so I should have known it wouldn't get any better.
Firstly this morning in a lovely hot shower then the water stops. Not just running cold because I've used too much hot water but completely stops. No water at all, mid shower! What the ?
Great, my hubby has left early for work (men! never around when you need them!).
Not a problem though. If the water suddenly stops it has to be the stop tap, right?
So I grab a robe and ugg boots (yes I know, don't say it) and head outside to check the stop tap.
It's 6.50 am in Hobart on a winters morning - it's a bloody freezing 5 degrees.
Can't see any problem with the stop tap so head back inside before the water dripping from my hair snaps freezes!
Back into the bathroom turn on the taps and water going again - but hardly any pressure. Better than nothing though.
By now I am running late for the bus. Get to the bus mall run for the bus and as I get to it the driver shuts the doors and pulls away from the kerb. Why doesn't that surprise me!?
Finally get to work. Message on my voice mail, my staff member calling to say she won't be in today because she has a sick child!
Arrrgggghh working mothers!
Don't start me on them because my lack of political correctness toward them has got me in to trouble before.
Now I have to cover for her as well.
Look at all the work piling up in my tray and think to myself I need a coffee. Head off down to the coffee shop and order a large long black double shot.
Head back to the office jump in the lift, press level 14 and the smell of the coffee makes me feel better.
Lift stops and in jumps a guy I cannot stand the sight of.
Not to worry, fast lift won't have to spend a lot of time with him.
I should have known better.
Lift stops! It's stuck!
End up spending 20 minutes with the bloke I normally avoid like the plague.
The day is only half over. I need therapy. Where's my bloody whip?!!!:eek:
