I am not in a good mood today.

It was downpouring as I prepared to leave for work. It is a fifteen minute walk from my house to where I get the bus. Joy...

I was warned by a co-worker that it would rain today, so last night I purchased my very first umbrella. It is purple. I own a bright purple umbrella. It is the only thing I have found bright in the dismal day.

Today, I learned that umbrellas work wonderfully for rain that is falling directly to the ground. Today, I learned umbrellas do not work well with rain being driven sideways by high winds.

I've been at work for three hours and my lower half is still wet. I walked in the front door, soaking wet from the waist down and the staff took one look at me and decided it was not a good day to talk to me. To be honest, the only way I cold have stayed dry on that walk was if I was wearing full rain gear. It was very windy, very rainy and very unpleasant.

I am not in a good mood today.

I miss my car. Oh, my shitty little car, how I miss thee... sigh... I would have been to work on time and warm, dry and happy if I had my car. Fuck, this week sucks.

I thought I might have a free drive home to get my car for the weekend. That went tits up this morning. My friend has to leave early in the day, and I can't afford to take another day off. So my options are to pay a lot of money and go home Saturday morning and drive back Sunday, or wait until next weekend and get a drive home then.

Another week sans automobile? ... kill me now! ... please!! ... all I want right now is to go back to bed and pretend this week has not happened. Sigh.
