It’s only 9:20 in the morning and this is how my day has gone so far: 6:15 AM - Get up early in hopes of getting to work early today to start packing up my desk. 7:20 AM - In effort to gain weight, chug a Carnation Instant Breakfast instead of nibbling on mini coffee cakes. 7:25 AM - Remember why I can’t tolerate such rich breakfasts when I am suddenly riddled with nausea. 7:30 AM - Sit down and read the paper while waiting for my Maalox and anti-nausea pills to kick in – still have some extra time. 7:46 AM - Finally leave for work 4 minutes before regular time. 8:10 AM - Sail along merrily until I hit the second bridge and notice a line coming from the tollbooth. Look ahead and see a parade of parked cars. Curse. Call work. 8:14 AM – Finally make my way to basket to pay toll. Curse again. 8:19 AM – Finally start on bridge. Realize that I have to pee. Curse. 8:25 AM – I’ve moved about 100 feet. REALLY have to pee. Curse. Think of morganzola’s parking garage fiasco. Laugh. Curse again because laughing makes me have to pee more. 8:27 AM – Imagine headlines that proclaim, “Woman’s bladder explodes while trapped on bridge!” 8:30 AM – Pass disabled truck and praise my bladder for holding on. 8:32 AM – Scream to no one in particular, “You’re not serious. I’ve been working here for 11 months and have never run into a school bus. No! Not the flashing red lights!” Curse loudly and repeatedly.
8:35 AM – Arrive at work. Get slapped in the face with a gust of wind with the ever-pleasant wind-chill of zero degrees. Curse once more. 8:36 AM – Pee. Glorious pee. 8:39 AM - See G McG and almost laugh in his face. Hear the 'Soul Glo' jingle in my head as I examine his out of control curls. Be proud that I fired him 2 weeks ago. After talking to him, remember why. Sass him and think things are finally looking up…. 9:15 AM – Burn tongue drinking hot HOT tea. Curse and call the day a loss.
