sometimes it's the little things...

Today was a Monday that shouldn't have been a Monday. My mood was a reflection of the mood of those around me, and it seemed that everyone around me was having a bad day. So I rolled in the door, thought about the cold pizza in the fridge, and promptly walked out again, heading to the pub, thinking about food and beer. I walked in and found Youk on the tv, getting ready to bat, ordered my favorite beer, and deliberated between fried green tomatoes and fried brussel sprouts.

Crap, while typing this - about how the guy at the bar changed to the Mets game in the middle of the 5th inning and speed with which my mood could go from bad to good and back to bad again, things have plummeted to awful... I ran a quick errand to Bed, Bath, and Beyond tonight - had bought a blender there last week for my brothers, but forgot my coupon for 20% off. No worried, I was told, just bring coupon and receipt back and all will be well. So I did, on my way to the bar, and questioned the girl behind the register when she said it went through alright - I didn't remember seeing where she credited my card, but she said she did, so... NO, NO, NO! So now I've been charged twice for a blender that doesn't even live in my house, and since it's the end of the month I'm going to have to deal with the bank and overdraft fees (have already called them, can do nothing until tomorrow) and still have to go BACK to the store and deal with the mistake - in my spare time. I called their customer service line and yelled at the guy who was less than helpful, but it only made me feel marginally better. I'm all wired and angry, which means it's going to take me a while to calm down, and it's past my early-morning-meeting bedtime, which just makes me more angry. I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!
