My Adventures Today (Or, thank god Thursday is over)

[maderr]

The Beginning:

Cats woke me up 3:30. They never really let me go back to sleep.

The Middle:

Despite that, I was in a good mood. Even the boss texting me at 6:30 to say she wouldn't be in did not get me down. Being in a good mood, I decided to do my new thing. I take the bus to a McDonald's on my route, get off and enjoy a nice breakfast, then get back on the bus.

Only, when I got to McD's, they told me their credit machines are down. Okay, fine. Hike back the way I'd come, crossed the street (a massive fuckoff intersection, blah) to Walgreen's, got cash out. I will not be thwarted!

Got back to McD's....and the guy in front of me swiped his card just fine. Oh! Gosh, gee! Looks like they're working again! exclaims the chick at the register. -_- goes Megan

And now it gets even better.

Went back out later, waited for my bus. Saw bus at intersection, saw it was the only bus in the area. Look back down to finish last sentence of paragraph. Bus pulls up, Megan gets on.

Fifteen minutes later, bus turns where it should not. Megan goes "...." and suddenly realizes that somehow, someway, she is not on the right bus. Frantically pulls cord, gets off wrong bus, hikes back four blocks to where she needs to be to get on correct bus.

I finally got to work, luckily only a few minutes late.

The End:

About an hour after I got to work, I realize that at some point in the course of the morning, my necklace charm fell off. This saddens me, because it was my favorite necklace. I wore it all the time. Now, it's gone.

The day got better from there, minus a couple of moments of wanting to punch someone in the face for being anal retentive to the point of needing medication.

Now, I go to do more work.

I'm glad your day wasn't too horrible.

Oh, I'm sorry! *patpat* I hate days like that, one thing does wrong and suddenly the whole day falls down on your head. Like dominoes.

Ah, that McDonalds incident happened to me once! It was somewhere else, though, I can't remember where. I was buying something and they were all 'no credit cards blargh', and then I came back about an hour later with a friend and they worked fine for her. -___-

...will it make you happy if I told you I just bought your Fairytales Slashed book and am loving every word?

I'm happy you like it ^___^ Thank you.

I've been on the other side of that McD's thing. Never had them come up so quick; usually it took hours before they could figure WTF was wrong with the antiquated equipment they used behind the scenes.

*pats* I'm so sorry the day turned out so badly.

Randomly though, I just got my book of Fairytales Slashed. Already read the whole thing through! I love that you let us read many of your things online, but I definitely like that I can buy your books to curl up with. I am considering getting another copy to give to a friend as a gift too ^^;

You know, it's kinda funny how we can go through really shitty things on one day and come out smiling, but another day with teeny little irritating things and we blow up. At least your day wasn't one of those 'I can't take it any more!' days that we have when everything is just breaking down around us LOL. Btw, your previous post...I read the comments and I think the fans( including me!) aren't trying to tell you to make a serial of Black Magic...more like trying to tell you to hury up and post something before we start a stampede. ;)

... I'm confused. The cats didn't let you go back to sleep? How does that work? I thought dogs were the persistent beasts x_x

And really, I admire your persistence with the McD thing! On the plus side, you got your breakfast, w00t.
