You know it's a good day when.....

[Old Nicodemus]

You are awoken by the frenetic screaming of a woman on the radio when your alarm clock goes off at 7 AM.

The bus driver that is taking you to work, stops to ask the passengers "Which way is it now?"

You turn up to work in a nicely dry cleaned, crisp suit to find out you've forgotten that you are cleaning out a dusty, cobwebbed store room.

You realise that the company canteen is serving spaghetti for lunch and you're wearing a white shirt.

All in all it's not been a good day so far.

:wall:

think I'll go to the pub at lunch time....

you decide to do something about your growing stomach and starts to bicycle to work, resulting in heavy winds slowing you down and you´re 5 minute late for the morning meeting

you are told to replace 3 PC´s at 3rd floor which goes smoothly enough, just to discover the fiber connection to the basement rack is broken.

you get told to reinstall 3 PC´s where one of them is already complete, just to be told it´s an old image so you have to do that too....

but hey it´s almost lunch and there´s a nice pretty girl working in the cantina

found a taxi station and took a cab the last way.

had to sit around and wait for 3 hours until the next test turn..... almost failed the test too =)

took the subway home, noticed that the bus I was planning on taking werent going at all until 1,5 hour later, wandered around not knowing where I was going until I found a bus that took me to one place where I could get a bus home.... this whole day took 7 hours. and the test took 40 min

and on top of this.... it was my 18th birthday

wont get more into the evening but walking around stockholm city with a sixpack beers chasing around some friends that left 10 min before we got there. after the 3rd time they did this we got annoyed and went home.

ahh, but you don't realise what it is to be a parent! to get a single child (defining child as no heavier than a small dog) into the school that is 10 minutes walk away, they have to own the new "Super-Thunder-Patrol-Meister 4.0Ltr offroad 4x4x4x4" which is twice as wide as any road (or ocean) going vessel ever built by human hands.

I mean, c'mon... lets get some common sense here...

TAX BIG CARS WITH LITTLE MOMS IN!

NERF 4x4's IN CITIES!

You know your having a bad day when....


.... After a simple phonecall on Friday explaing that due to the unfailing imcompetance of the Inland Revenue you will pay your 4 weeks rent arrears on Wednesday you get a "Notice of Seeking Possession" on Tuesday.


Fucking bastards are gonna burn tommorrow :mgwhore:

 

[maxgirth]

You know it`s a good day, when you have just finished painting a grade II listed building,when it pisses down with rain,and you try telling the customer how trendy it is to have a " country cream " coloured york stone patio,flowers/dog/grass.

 

[Myddrin]

Your customer calls you to tell you he is trying to access your company's internet website but 'can't get it up' followed by you laughing at your customer with little remorse

;D

Bad day, how about a bad week. Saturday morning local junior union goes on strike (19th April) Crane Boom goes down over Helideck. Tuesday night strike called off, cool I am due to crewchange Wednesday. Wednesday the company decides work cannot resume, strikers must leave the rig. Strikers who are no longer on strike say no No helicopters. Saturday morning locals get copies of court injunction and throw a wobbly threatening everyone, this dies down quite quickly. Now its Wednesday again, and I am now one week late getting off, after a five week hitch, now that is a bad week

On the other hand I have a 2 minute walk to the galley for coffee then outside for a fag before I go to work, commuting when your on an Oil Rig is a piece of piss

Later

Gengee

You wake up at 7:00am after a late night on DAoC You spend 15 minutes ironing your shirt for work perfectly, making sure your creases in your trousers are good enough to cut metal. Choose a decent tie. Put on your suit jacket and head off for another droll day bleary eyed {thanks DAoC !}

You arrive at work and notice your mate exiting the building in casuals and wonder what he's upto today. You swipe your pass and open up the doors to enter the building. One more swipe and you enter your office floor and STOP.

Everyone is in casuals and looking at you like your some sort of nutter. NERF "Dress Down Days" enters your mind as you wander to your desk feeling an utter prick.

When enevitably the first of many people ask why you are wearing shirt and tie you reply -

"I have a meeting with the customer this morning and feel its more business like to appear professional at all times"

you head home at lunch time to get changed... well the meeting was only for the morning after all
