I had the worst day.

My car died, while I was at my work parking lot - I was late for a meeting on campus - I tried to tighten the conductors to the battery, and it was fickle and wouldn't start - so I had to leave quickly to catch a bus and make it on time.

When I came back to my car, I had a parking ticket. The bank for some reason was closed when I went to get money, because I was hungry, the coffee shop was closed too. Grrrr...

So I went to my exam from 7pm-10pm. But the girl came in and says "Why weren't you here at 6:30pm?" O.O

Apparently if I came a half hour early, I could have taken a break instead of writing 3 hours straight. (You really feel like you've been hit by a bus after that).

The guy who came to give me a boost took 65 minutes and I was really cold.

I found out that I got accepted for a bursary course in Chicoutimi, but I have to get permission of approval from the Dean by Sunday. (why the fuck they tell me this on a Friday and give me 1 business day to submit forms and get approval from the Dean during the busiest time of year from them, I don't know!) But I'm stressed to the max. I pleaded for an extension. Hopefully it worked.

Oy. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Pity me. I'm weird.

 

sounds sucky.

my car battery has died,

i've had to jump my friend's multiple times this winter,

i've gotten parking tickets,

the bank and restaurants have been closed on me,

and i have to take 3 hour exams with no break so i know what you mean.

but never on the same day!

AND, i have a 10 page paper due wednesday. not started writing, but my research is done.

/pity

 

I'm right there with you.

I had to go to a job that makes me want to throw a fit and cry like a 2 year old. And, nice, we're being inspected, oh, and look, district manager is here too. Get grilled for not finishing one job when I should have been doing another job. Told to do 4 jobs simultaniously while not moving from one spot. Had customers yell at me. Finally got to go home for one day of and find out that they had shut my cable and telephone off when I had made arrangements with them to pay the next day. I call the cable company and am on hold for 45 minutes in the middle of the conversation when the cell phone loses signal. Look at the bill that I have to pay when I get my check the next day only to find that after everything is payed I will have a total $20 to my name to last me 2 weeks. I'm tellin' ya, I'm one more disaster away from ending it all. If I had a car it would've exploded.
Just thought I'd add mine in there for ya.

 

Let's get wasted. Don't worry, I'll pay.

:cheers2:

 

Sounds like the best plan I've heard all day.

 

careful of that light, it might be a train

 

I also overheard this girl tell this very fucked up story today.

Her male cousin - who she was friends with in a group of a bunch of people since elementary - wrote a suicide note and left it at his computer for his dad to find. His dad called a bunch of his friends to go find him, to look for him and try and get to him without reading the entire note. (It was 4 pages long)

This girl says that when they were kids, the whole gang and neighbourhood used to collectively build/maintain this tree fort in a wooded area. When they got older they'd to get drunk, high and goof around there.

A couple of this guy's buddies saw his car parked in the parking lot of this area. They wound up finding her cousin's dead body, hanging in a noose from the treehouse.

Totally fucked up. The kid was only 20.

 

what, I can't get wasted?
thanks for the invite

edit: you don't have to pay for me

 

You can come get wasted too! (although I wouldn't suggest it since you have a paper due)

I have beer and wine here. I could make hot dogs. It's a great day for hot dogs.

 

What you need is a boyfriend who knows how to fix cars:hat:

 

time to smoke a blunt to face eh?

 

aww sorry to hear about your bad day! bad days suck..
smoke some weed and drink some brews and you'll feel better!!

 

>_<

Well, I believe I need a new battery (it's 5 years old) and I can remove and install the battery. I know how to do that.

But yeah, a handy man is sexy.

 

I wish. Final exam tonight again. And I work 10 hours tomorrow.

Maybe I'll make some awesome comfort yummy foods, like potatoes, green beans and salmon in a mushroom sauce. This could have a similar effect.

 

that sounds sooo good.
food is a great way of dealing with stress! haha

 

Please take this as friendly support:

Remember that far worse days are ahead! This is why God created alcohol and drugs.

 

I hate bad days...I know how hard and frusterating school is. I wish you so much luck

 

Sorry to hear about your day from hell Ari, at least you got it out of the way right. It's wasn't too bad though, now you definitely know your battery needs and change plus you have an opportunity to go to Chicoutimi for education (how awesome). Just little glimmers of light on your dark day.

The story you told about that lady and her cousin reminded me of a friend of mine who took his life earlier this year. It was a huge shock to all of us especially because he didn't seem to have a suicide mind set, then again he was having girl problems at the time. He was only 22 and his birthday was a week before he died. Sorry if i ruined the mood, but your story struck some personal strings.

Ari, hope you get that extension you need for the bursary opportunity and good luck on your exam tonight. Take care.

 

Thanks everyone. I sometimes need to hear a few words of encouragement like this, to keep me from going insane inside my head - or like the things that happen around me are spiraling like a whirlwind without control.

I'm going to ace my exam. I know it. Thanks again everyone. Today is going to be better.

 

when i have days like these i just remember Three Little Birds and that everything will be alright and it kinda makes me feel better cause i know that the next day i get to start over
