Days of the week

I have figured it out - there is really no one good day of the week.   As far as my calendar goes, here are MY days of the week

Sappy Sunday
Manic Monday
Tipsy Tuesday
Wierd Wednesday
Terrible Thursday
Freaky Friday
Sloppy Saturday.

Why do I say this, you ask?  Well' I'll tell you (I'm gonna tell you even if you DIDN'T ask!) - - -

There is always something that happens every day of the week that just throws off the entire day.  It may not bew anything big - it can be as simple as loosing your car keys (and that happens to me - - - ALOT!) all the way to  - well, anything goes here!  But you have to know the feeling.

For example, yesterday I got to work and found that we were short-staffed.  So I had to help find replacements/subs for the missing staff.  Now in and of itself, that's no big deal, right?  Except we are SUPPOSED to have a system in place that brings subs in whenever a staff person is out, for whatever reason.  But does it work?  NOOOO!!   So for the rest of the day, we operate under "Planic" mode.  What's that?  "Planned Panic!"  And unfortunatley this is more the norm than the exception.

Now today went pretty well - everyone was at work, the day went relativley smoothly, with no big issues.  BUT - when I get home, I start to work on a PC I am building (remember my hobbies?) - and CRASH!!!!  System failure!.  Now in of itself, no biggie, as I was in the initial stages of building, but now I gotta start all over again.

Now I'm not saying that I don't have good days - I do.  But there is still always something that happens that kind of throws a wrench into the works, and just messes up an otherwise perfect day.

I think that Murphy has something to do with this - You know Murphy?  He wrote that stupid, but true law -

"In any field of human endeavor, no matter what, if there is anything that could possibly go wrong - - - it will."

There are many variants of Murphy's law, too.  Here are a few of my favorites:

If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
A dropped power tool will always land on the concrete instead of the soft ground (if outdoors) or the carpet (if indoors) - unless it is running, in which case it will fall on something it can damage (like your foot).

After you bought a replacement for something you've lost and searched for everywhere, you'll find the original.
No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.

Traffic is inversely proportional to how late you are, or are going to be

Well, that's about all I have for today.  Hope you enjoyed my little blog.   Have a great day!! - - - or not.
