Illusory Follies

Today was not a good day. I did not get enough sleep last night and was out of the house by 4:30am. I then proceeded to get blamed for a major “incident” at work which was actually something that I had been assigned to do by another manager. Then I got raked over the coals for a report that apparently didn’t meet snuff (although, evidently it wasn’t read very clearly since all the things they said to correct were in fact already in the report I had given them). I was unable to solve the one trivial and unimportant problem that I had hoped to tackle today and got tied up at work so I had to leave a little late. Traffic was absolutely the worst I have ever seen and it took me 2.5 hours to get home. I went out shopping with my 2-year old son who proceeded to steal some butter from Safeway and smear it all over himself and the cart when I wasn’t looking. On the way out the door, I got the largest paper-cut I’ve ever seen from the receipt.

Oh, and it’s pouring outside.
