I think we’d all agree that Mondays generally suck. Big time. Today, however, takes the cake. I’m not going to bore you with the mundane details of the remainder of the day, but I will share my morning with you since I’m sure at one point or another you can relate.
It was the way the day started that was the most frustrating. Have you ever looked back on a bad day and said to yourself, “I should have known today would be like this because this morning I blahblahblahwhatever happened?” Well I knew it in the morning, I didn’t need to wait for the end of the day to figure that out.
I woke up late, and while I usually have a tough time getting up this morning I felt like a boulder was holding me down on the bed and I just could.not.get.up. Except it was a really cozy, soft boulder that shielded me from the frozen outside. But I got up eventually, and there was much running around and trying to find something to wear because, oh yeah, I never did get to that laundry this weekend. I had a few sips of coffee, tried to gather my shit together and then I remembered that I had gotten a nice new thermos for my coffee and I was actually excited to bring my own coffee to work. (LAME!) The coffee they have at my office is AWFUL. God awful! And I thought it would be better to bring my own instead of buying it every day. You know, with the economy and all.
Anyway, I left it sitting on the coffee table. After all that. Running as late as I was I still took the five minutes to fill the thermos, put in the milk and sugar, and set it on the coffee table while I grabbed my keys and walked out the door. WITHOUT THE THERMOS. I realized I had forgotten it about three quarters of the way to the subway, and I literally punched my fists towards the ground and stamped my foot. Knowing I couldn’t very well turn back and retrieve it because then I’d be later to work than I already am, I made a quick pit stop at the local bodega to grab a cup of coffee, cursing myself that I had a perfectly delicious thermos waiting at home.
Wanna guess what I also left sitting next to the thermos full of hot goodness?
My wallet.
Fucking Mondays.
