[OT] Gotta vent... what a day...

[jester47]

0) I get up at 5AM and go rowing.

1) I have a collision this morning in my racing shell (boat) dealing $600 worth of damage.

2) I get towed back in the cold rain sitting on a launch (boat with motor) and freezing my ass off (I'm in a shirt and bike shorts)

3) After I arrive back at the boathouse and get by boat cleaned up and put away one of the old ladies that rows on a team of old ladies has a stroke out on the dock. EMS picks her up. (I hope she is ok)

4) After all that, and trading emails with the guy who helped do the damage (it takes 2), I head home. Halfway there, I get a flat.

5) I get the car onto a residential (non-arterial) street and proceed to put on the spare tire.

6) Its almost flat.

7) I drive the car to the nearest gas station so I can fill up the spare with air. Air machine costs $.25 for 3 min. I dont have a dime on me. No one wants to loan me a quater.

8) I walk home (in the cold rain, I am wearing shorts, no socks because they got wet and I HATE wet socks) to get money. Luckly my house is not too far away.

9) I walk aback (in the cold rain, withfleece pants dry wool socks and a warm hat) and put air in the tire.

All before 10 AM.

I am now afraid to go outside for the rest of the day...

This is what being an adventurer is all about. Think of all of the times your character has broken stuff, had to walk places in the rain, beg for money, etc.

Hey, are you single and female? If so I can set you up with one of the guys in our group. He has bad luck to rival yours.

It would be fun to see you two together, maybe the world would explode.

BTW, I sure hope your day gets better.

Hey Jester,

I hope your day picks up. I don't mean to make you feel bad, but I'm pretty sure that the gas station is required by law to give you a quarter for air/water. Atleast they are required to in Ca.

I hope your day picks up.

at least you have your health.

You mean the air machine didn't eat your quarter?
Those darn things are always broken here in Albuquerque, and the attendants never give my money back.

When I was walking I was thinking this. but then I thought "Not if I keep walking in the cold rain without a hat, socks and in shorts..." I was also rummageing through all the bad stuff that could have happened to compond the problem... I could get mugged, run over... etc. etc. It was all a little interesting.
