My day was worse than yours
I had a really bad day yesterday. I got up in the morning and i slipped and fell in the bathroom and bruised my butt. Then I forgot i had to go to work. When I remembered I was late for work. I went to work and I was suposed to cook somthing that we did not have in stock. So I made grilled cheese. But I burned most of them. and then I forgot the noodles were on the stove so they were mush. Then I burned myself. then I dropped grilled cheese on the floor. Then we had no cooking spray. Then i tripped and fell flat on my face. Then i finally was done with work. And my helpers asked me if i was on drugs. Im not but after yesterday maybe I should be. So did anyone have a worse day than me?

No ....you win! :)

Only thing that went wrong yesterday is my new tent didn't show up like it was supposed to. Think I'll go out and hunt that mail man down today!

I had the worst day ever. It only took about 2 minutes to ruin and It will probably ruin the rest of the week too. It was so bad that I don't care to elaborate.

RE: My day was worse than yours
I got a call from a friend of mine that said when her boyfriend of two years (also a friend) got home he'd find that she up and left him, and would I please go over to make sure he didn't do anything stupid? Seems he attempted suicide last time this happened.

Well, nothing stupid happened, but now I'm the link between them.
I'd rather be hiking.

RE: My day was worse than yours
I went to work late cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out
And everybodies disgusted
Its just one of those days

Some Nazis tied me up and covered me with ants
And I spilled toxic waste on my brand new pants

Its just one of those days

The FBI has got a tap on my phone
Those darn Russian spies wont leave me alone
I shouldnt have got up this morning,shoulda known

Its just one of those days

I took my kids to breakfast, to the library, and for a walk... then we had a picnic before the Easter egg hunt.

So I guess I lose, huh?

My drains are fixed.
My wife is home.
My workshop and presentations are over.
Another report I was waiting for came back OK.
We are going out to dinner in a while.

So things are better.

Adventuregirl - Sorry things went so bad. Hope you can look back some day and laugh...but not now.

Where do you cook?

RE: My day was worse than yours
I woke up yestarday and discovered that I lived in the freest country on the globe and then it got better. Then I got in my car and realized that I din't have to walk every where and I was blessed enough to be able to aford a car and then it got better. On my way home I got stuck behind a bus full of children that were going to a public school intead of to the fields to work with their parents and then it got better. When I got home I spent the day puttering around my beautiful home that is full of things that make my life very easy and happy and I realized that I don't live in a tin shed where I have to use the bathroom in the street and it got better. I cooked a gourmet meal in the afternoon from ingrediants taken from a fridgerator that is full of great food and it got better. My beautiful wife came home and kissed me and told me she loved me more than anything else and then it got better. Later I got to go to my job I love where I get to help others as well as get paid about 1,000 times more than the average 3rd world manual laborer and it got better. Just before I got ready to go to bed, of which I get paid to do, I prayed to a personal God that wants to be a part of every single aspect of my life and I realized that in my country I'm allowed to do this.

Yep, your day was worse than mine! 8)

RE: My day was worse than yours
I have sorta had days like that but I may have you beat here. Friday, I had my yearly physical and got some rather disturbing news. After doing well in all the tests it came time for the old "turn your head and cough" test. And yes I fail that one. Apparently I have the makings of a hernia. Bad news for me, I believe. Had one in my youth(2nd grade) that went full blown and required surgery but this one, on the opposite side has yet to blow. Looks like I need to do a more through follow up on this one. Bunny has a busted nut!!!!

RE: My day was worse than yours
I met a girl whose heart
was on the right hand side
and upon the left
an angel did reside
they told her mother
that she never would survive
but she kept the rhythm
and is still alive

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Then I met a man
who had to walk with his hands
born into a world
he couldn't stand
blessed with life
but cursed as a man
still he walks taller
than most of us can

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Some are born with more
and some born with less
so don't take for granted
the life we've been blessed
it's hard to understand
that we're only a guest
and each one of us
shall be put to life's test

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

RE: My day was worse than yours
I drove to my dad's, from whom I've been alienated for years. Slept in his house that stunk of week old cigarttes. House is 400 feet from a train track, trains go by 3-4 times an hour, 24 hours a day. The house is also on a road that runs between the house and the railroad tracks. A half mile from the house is a trucking firn that dispatches trucks 24 hours a day.

walkindude, You remember that?!?
That's the best I could do off the top of my head.
My aging memory tells me that may have been a guy named Ray Dariano(sp) from an alblum called, "Are You On Something?"
Radio just ain't "progressive" enough to play that kinda sh!t anymore.

How about the "Reverend Billy Saul Hargis of The Church of the Gooey Death and the Discount House of Worship in Del Rio, Texas"?

RE: My day was worse than yours
Got back from overnight hike on Sat. to find that THE OL' LADY HAD CHANGED THE LOCKS! She doesn't like my b'packing companion (cause he cheats on his ol' lady) and refused me to go. A very harrowing day. But concern about future hiking trips, etc, caused me to capitulate and reconcile (for now).

....so I am mowing the lawn this afternoon which is a pretty sucky way to end the day when I hit a rock and send it right through the back window of my truck.

Someone is messing with me!

Rain showers forcast for tonight with gusty winds. I am sure my tarp will not offer adequate protection.

I know how to spell (most times). I was just copying T's quasi-spelling from this thread
I may be a troll, but I'm no fool.
