where you've only been up for 20 seconds and already, without looking at the calendar, you know it's a Monday?
I have a set of 3 glow-in-the-dark puzzles which I bought and brought home only to discover that the largest one in the set was one I'd already bought [but hadn't done]. I recently started the one in the set, thinking I'd give the other one away as a present or something. This evening I get up, and my fucking 9-mile-wide hip knocks a full glass of water all over the table that the puzzle is on, ruining it. [Please do not leave a comment on this blog suggesting I put the glass somewhere else, because I will track you by your IP address, physically drag you to my place and demand that you point me out one place in that goddamn room where I can set a glass without it being in danger of getting knocked over, and where it can be reached by somebody besides Plastic Man. I will also demand an alternate treatment for my dry mouth while I'm sleeping.]
It could have been worse; MallWart rotates their stock of puzzles, and it's been a while since I've seen that puzzle on the shelves, so it's a good thing I have another copy and didn't give it away. But to have that happen to a brand new puzzle, right after you get up, after 5 hours of sleep, which at one point was interrupted by some dipshit from North Dakota [thank you caller ID] who let it ring once and hung up...that can only happen on a Monday.
I would also like to know who the carpetsucker is that decided the dash key should be all the way in the goddamn Andromeda cluster on the keyboard where nobody, with the possible exception of Franz Liszt, can reach it comfortably.
I'm going to have my coffee and wake up now. Happy Monday.
same bitch time, same bitch channel...
Thought for the day: Some things, once you ruin them, you just can't fix them. This goes for friendships with words dumped on them as well as puzzles with water dumped on them. Puzzles, though...you can replace those.
