Enough Already

This isn't about wanderings and musings.  This is just about an exasperating day.

  1. Torrential rain comes in the house. Now the less-than-year-old addition has a hole in the ceiling and water under the new hardwood floors.  There is also water saturating the rug upstairs in the "old" part of the house.
  2. Train late. In a class and didn't want to be late.  Deluge slowed down public transportation.  I was late.
  3. Broke my work laptop.  Note to self:  Don't pick up laptop by screen.  My apparently strong thumb cracked the screen.  Nice thumbprint.
  4. Failed a work test.  I had to take two exams and passed only one.  I'm not surprised I failed the second one as I missed much of class.  Still...
  5. Got socked in the eye by a colleague's backpack with a computer in it.  We were on a bus and it lurched.  He flew backward and his backpack cracked me on the bone above my left eye.  I have a nice bump now and it's red...and sore.
  6. Sat in someone's body fluids.  As if the bus ride wasn't bad enough, considering my eye had a close-up of a backpack.  I smelled urine...or perhaps poop...or both.  Next thought:  "Oh no, it's coming from my area."  I stood up and noticed something horrible on my seat.  No way.
I was afraid to take the train home for fear of another calamity.  Fortunately, that trip was uneventful, unless you count my miserable failure with the crossword puzzle. 

I've had enough for one day.  Although it is supposed to rain buckets tonight...
