When it rains, it pours

Started this morning off late, then had to run to the car through a monsoon. Left my coat in the car last night, so I was thoroughly soaked by the time I made it. Then noticed what looked like a parking ticket on the windshield. Got pissed, because I was parked legally. Got back out into the rain to pull the ticket out from under the wiper. As I’m literally dripping wet sitting in the car (ruining the leather seats, I’m sure), I see it’s a “public awareness” notice from the police reminding me to keep valuables out of my car at night.

Wow, thanks.

Got to work late and found out that someone was already looking for me. Then the boss-man came by and wanted to hold a meeting to find out what’s been going on. Which is great, because I’m certainly not in charge of this circus! So called my boss, who basically said “Well, I don’t have anything to help you with your meeting, so good luck.” Great, thanks for the assist. Went to the meeting and survived. Then found out that the documentation I thought I was done with needs to have a software upgrade process drafted and added to it. And the guy who is nominally in charge of that software and did the upgrades in the past is out of town for the rest of the week.

Don’t you wish you had it this good?
