Its a...........MAAAAD world...

Ever have one of those days where the smallest things go wrong, but you are still afraid they will set the tone for your whole day? Today's one of those days.....




Today I did not want to shower. I know that sounds gross (and so I did shower) but I just did not feel like going through all that. It didn't sound like fun. Luckily I shaved really well yesterday so I was okay for today - scruffy but not shaggy. I showered, got dressed (I realized I only had two crappy shirts to choose from, but that's what I get for not doing laundry yesterday), and found that we were out of coffee. "That's okay" I thought to myself, "I'll just stop at my favorite coffee shop." (not Starbucks)







I ordered a 16oz coffee-of-the-day with a shot of espresso added. The total was $2.98 so I tipped $1.02 to make it an even four dollars. I like to tip at this shop because I like to support local businesses and I get great service there. Right before my coffee was ready I got a call on my cell, so when I got my drink I was on the phone. I don't like doing that, but it was work and I needed to take the call. When I got back to my car and drove a block I realized they served me a 12oz regular coffee. I paid $2.98 for a dollar twenty five coffee, and tipped a buck on an incorrect order. The picture to the left illustrates the difference between the size I ordered and the size I got. I was surprised because I have always got great service and exactly what I ordered at this coffee shop. I was too far away and needed at the office, so I couldn't go back and bring it to the attention of the business.





Then, because the cop was a 12oz and not the bigger (see pic) 16oz, it didn't fit in my cup holder. I had to hold it while driving and ended up spilling some on my light-colored shorts. I only got a small burn on my leg though, so it's okay.





I got the the office and had some horrible news about on of the files I'm working on - there is a good chance that I'm going to loose the file and the paycheck that goes along with it. Not to mention the terrible position this puts my client in. I've learned that when a lender says something is 100% sure to be okay, it means there is a 35% chance that it will be okay. I might be able to fix it, but I'm not sure we can in the time frame we need to. That's going to put a dent in my wallet and renders all the hours of work I have done on this file possibly worthless.





See: nothing big went wrong, but it's one of those days were a bunch of little stuff starts to add up. "At least it's Friday!" you might say. I've got an event to work tomorrow for work, and that's going to burn up my whole day. I might have to come into the office on Sunday after church to make cold-calls in order to try to get some more deals in, just in case the one mentioned above falls out. Then we are back to Monday and I have a very full day planned at work. No rest for the wicked, right?





On a positive note, the insulator band on my coffee cup points out they ways to tell if you have having a stroke. So I got that covered. In case you think you might be having a stroke, here is the graphic to tell if you are:
