Ah, my blog, the place where I can expound more than 140 characters!
I haven’t been sleeping enough lately. Last night I stayed up late working on my (other) blog and writing up a contract proposal. So today, I fueled myself with significant amounts of Coca Cola and Dr. Pepper. I felt pretty good until 3:30 PM and then I more or less glazed over while staring at my computer and typing fast during the brief flashes of time where I remembered what I was supposed to be doing.
By the time 5:10 rolled around and I climbed aboard the bus, I was sleepy. I powered on my iPod and fell asleep to The Weakerthans.
I got home, checked the mail, and thought all was good. I had a letter waiting from a company that I recently sent an application and resume. I got inside and also had a package from Amazon I’d been waiting a week for.
I opened the letter, read it, and found out I’d been denied in deference to other more qualified/appropriate candidates.
Then I opened the package from Amazon. The book was fine, but the Cowboy Bebop - The Movie DVD sounded bad before even opening the case. I could hear the DVD sliding around in the case before I even opened it. Once I opened it, I saw the case was broken and didn’t properly hold the DVD in place. It was scratched badly and had a small crack as well.
This is where I’m glad Amazon has a good return policy, but that’s not enough to save my day. I’m pissed.
Thanks for reading.
Ah…Your story makes me want to cradle your head in my bosom and whisper, “There, there.”
Tyler, when did you get a bosom? I wasn’t informed of this development.
