bad day
i had a pretty bad day yesterday :(
it actually began the night before; i went out to Yorktown with Cameron to celebrate Courtney's 21st birthday. it was fun and all but it was literally an hour away and i had class the next morning at nine. we planned to leave and head back to richmond around 11:30 but it just didn't work out and we ended up leaving at last call. well i didn't even get home and into bed until three and still had to get up at 8:15 the next morning. so of course, i wake up extremely tired [and to add to that, i didn't get to bed until four the night before because Alex and i went to the Redskins game].
then i head to class and half way there i realize i forgot my phone, which isn't a big deal but it was a bummer not being able to talk to Alex all day. then i went home during our 20 minute break to feed my cats, because i woke up too late to feed them when i left. i also went to grab my phone but could not find it anywhere! so then i was worried that i lost it but i knew i didn't, which just made it more frustrating that i couldn't find it.
then, after a long day of not talking to anyone but my classmates, i walk into my living room and my phone is sitting on the arm rest of the couch. Cameron had put it there because it was apparently stuck between the arm and the cushion and had been going off. so good news, i didn't lose it; bad news, i'm a moron.
then, decided to get on facebook and upload pictures and i got so distracted [surprise, surprise] that i didn't have time to make it to the gym before work. doesn't seem like a big deal but i was actually really disappointed in myself because i feel like i'm doing really well at going to the gym and the fact that i missed it because of facebook upset me.
then, around 3:30 i decided to get ready for work, which was at 4:15. so i look over to where my clothes usually are and they're not there ... because they were still in the washing machine from the night before. awesome. so after doing nothing but sit on my ass for two hours, i have to call work and tell them i'm going to be late. they weren't mad or anything, but it was just annoying.
well i get to work [only about 20 minutes late luckily] and even though i'm clearly having an off day, i'm still in a really good mood. i worked with some fun people and it was fun talking to everyone about their holiday. but work was slow. i had a great section but not too many tables. one of my tables was literally never sat and i never had a full section ... ever. which of course would bum anyone out, and of course i need money for Colorado so i was really hoping to make money. also, my manager was in a really salty mood and it was kind of putting everyone else in a bad mood. and, as i said, we were not busy so i thought i was going to be out early [hoping to be out early actually, because i had homework to do]. well he didn't cut people until 11:something and i wasn't cut until about 12:30. luckily i had been doing my sidework all night, thinking that i was going to be cut literally hours before i was, so it didn't take long to get stuff done. which was cool.
but here's the topper: so all my sidework is done, my section is perfect, all i have to do is bring up one rack of cups and wash/roll silverware. i get it all washed and start to make my way through the kitchen and next thing i know i'm on the floor and my silverware and cups are everywhere! because, with all my luck, i fell in the kitchen. i literally just sat there in disbelief. then everyone runs over and asks if i'm okay and helps me up and picks up all my silverware, which was actually really nice of them. but 1. i was so embarrassed! like, that suckkks. i laughed about it, because it was funny, the embarrassing part was more with people being like "omg, are you okay? what happened? do you need help?" 2. i was super pissed that i had to rewash all that stuff when i was basically 5 minutes away from going home. and 3. my elbow really hurt, i guess i landed on it. luckily that's all that felt like it hurt.
so then i get all that rewashed, roll my silverware, turn my money in and go to the bar to give them my tip-out. while i'm over there my manager starts to mess with my hair because he always picks on me. and as he does this i swat him away and he goes "omg is that from tonight?" and i'm like "what?" i look at my elbow and its covered in blood! so i went to the office to clean that up and while i'm in there my manager and a few other servers think it'll be super awesome to watch me fall on the cameras. which was funny but again, just added to my day.
also, when i got home i couldn't figure out how to set up my sony reader. and that was really really frustrating.
so yeah, there was my bad day!
