| thank goodness it's friday? |

Today had to be one of the most random, crazy days ever. When I woke up, I thought it would be the best day ever, seeing that it's Friday. However, I would come to find that it would be a FRIDAY FROM HELL... (cue scary movie music).

So, I leave my house, in a reasonable time to be able to light rail over to the Amtrak station. So I thought. I had spent the night before taking the rack off of the back of my bike. Along with these adjustments, I had to take my back wheel off, and disconnect the brake cable, so that I could take the final piece of the rack off. I spent a long time making sure that things were right before I went to bed. So it was to my great surprise, that only about a third of the way into my trek, I couldn't pedal my bike along. For some reason, the back tire was rubbing against the frame, so it wouldn't move. I had to carry my bike all the way back to my house (7 blocks or so, thank goodness I have a light bike). From the minute that I got back to my place, and found that the door was locked, I knew this would be a crazy day.

I had to miss the train that would get me to work on time, so that I could work on my bike, so that it would be road ready. I finally got it all together and I headed out to work. I got here about 45 minutes late, but ready to work. About an hour into the day, I was beginning to hear requests for me to try to go to another store to get some ink for one of our big machines. I called every store in our district, except for one. NONE of those stores had the ink that we needed; this was because they didn't have the same machine, or someone else had asked for their extra before I could get to it. I spent a good couple of hours trying to track down this ink, including calling hp business direct, only to find out that the sales representative for our company and region was not in her office today. :(

Then I was sent on another round of calling all the stores to find a piece for one of our black and white printers. Once again, it seemed like no one had this piece, but on the last call, I was able to procure one that we could borrow. The only thing was that the store that was willing to save us, was all the way in Roseville. As I was trying to leave, I got asked to go to the Citrus heights area, and also to Elk Grove. It was about 1pm, and today was the first day of any kind of rain since before the summer. It was a great day to be on the roads, and it took me about 6 hours to traverse all over the greater sacramento area.

the last piece of the puzzle is that i got back to work, with about 10 minutes before I had to be at the train station to catch my train, which would've been fine, cause I would bike from work to the station. As I'm walking out of the door, I realize that I haven't pulled my drawer. That would take me much longer than about 5 minutes, so I had to be stuck here, at Kinko's for the next hour and a half, to wait for the next train to come.


It's almost over....?

I'm out...
