Today was a bad day. No one died or anything, but lots and lots and lots of sucky things that add up. Doctor's appointment took THREE HOURS so I didn't get lunch today. (On the plus side I got to see x-rays of my back which was interesting... I have a very nice back!)

I had a huge project to do but lost three hours to the doctors visit plus I had a counselors meeting that afternoon so my project did not get finished. I was late getting to said counselors meeting and had to interrupt it with my arrival (thankfully the Curriculum meeting ran long so there were other late people, too.) The counseling meeting also ran long which meant 1) I ended up working late, 2) I was late for class, 3) I miss the ticket office to drop off tickets on the way to pottery so I had to wait to for them to reopen, and 4) I didn't have time to organize my office before I left. I hate leaving unfinished work but I absolutely HATE leaving unfinished work in a mess. To prevent that I even left the meeting before it ended (which meant I disturbed them a second time) to try to minimize my lateness but when I returned to my office my supervisor came in to ask for my help with an evaluation issue (my old job/her new job) which took up another ten/fifteen minutes as I babbled distractedly trying to answer her question while prepping the ticket envelope and stacking folders for tomorrow and doing none of them well. I looked like an idiot and told her I was on pain medication to try to justify my doofiness. Speaking of meds - I have anti-inflammatories! Two weeks worth.

In other sucky instances today, I misunderstood a friend's request and bought an extra ticket to Rent which cost $35 but I managed to sell it to a coworker for $25 so I only wasted $10. To get it sold, though, I had to send an all-college email which means the president/vice presidents/provosts got to see me beg to have someone buy it from me. Durrrr. I also somehow managed to accidentally call the Vice President when I misdialed the Continuing Education phone extension. Our VP told me I was on my own trying to track them down so at least she was in a good mood when she got interrupted.

In pottery I dropped one of my pieces in a vat of glaze. It didn't break (yay!) but I had to wash it and stick it out to dry so cross your fingers the drying process doesn't make it crack. Despite it being the last day for new clay my husband wasn't feeling well either so we agreed to leave as early as we could (we had to stay to at least six so we could drop the ticket off at the box office) so we didn't get any last projects in but we did glaze some stuff so it wasn't a total waste of time.

It's weird - I was upset and frustrated all day because lots of little things were going wrong but nothing calamitous. Little bits of bad that could have been awful but always had a bright side. I made an idiot of myself but others did similar things so I wasn't alone, I screwed up but managed to salvage most of the situation, I dropped things but didn't break them, I am not feeling well but I've felt worse... I don't know how I feel.

But better now that I've eaten! Then again, missing lunch was probably a good thing because I went off my sound nutritional plan over Spring Break. So bright side to that, too.

But today still sucked.
