Any day you can walk away from....

Well, it's certainly been a mixed day. Work started out pretty rough, after beating my head against this one particularly nasty action item for around a week, and feeling as if I was making no progress, I discovered it was totally unnecessary. On a positive note, I found the reason the action item had been so challenging was that it was in a format about 3 revisions past obsolete – no wonder it had looked totally incomprehensible. From that point forward, I managed to blow through 3 other action items, so my day was vastly improved.

So, I'm leaving work and get to my car, and some nitwit has shoehorned his Chevy into the space next to mine, leaving between 6 and 9 inches between my driver's door and his passenger door. Idiots like this make me completely understand vandalizing someone's car (not that I did, but I sure would have loved to have introduced Mr. Chevy Trailblazer to Mr. Tire-Iron). This was followed by an endless litany of idiots on the road – it was like “Night of the Moron Drivers” - I'm driving on a deserted two-lane road, and two cars in front of me someone stops to make a left hand turn in the left hand turn lane, only he's about a foot or so into the left hand travel lane. Rather than swerve a foot and a half around this guy, the guy in front of me stops completely, blocking the entire lane, nearly causing me to rear-end him. This is followed by the idiot who, as I'm about to change lanes has to accelerate so there isn't room for me.

I get home to find an unexpected Fedex package in the hallway, containing a VERY AWESOME Captain America T-shirt (my godmother comes through again)! I almost walked right by it – I have three housemates and I hadn't ordered anything online recently. Thanks, Aunt Pat!

All in all, the roller coaster of my day certainly ended on an upnote.
