On a day like this

Today is one of those days. You wake up, and it's all good. You don't feel too tired, nothing aches, nothing has upset your sleep in those sensitive early morning hours, even the alarm clock doesn't seem to be possessed by the Antichrist. You're thinking "hey, this day might actually be ok for a change".

 

HA!

 

You'd like that, wouldn't you? Tough. This is a day that will make sure every single ounce of patience, understanding and kindness is squeezed out of your body, that you will not enjoy the sunshine, that every single person will approach you with one goal, and one goal alone: to irritate and infuriate you, to test your limits, to get on your nerves. They won't do it on purpose, and they will not do it out of spite, malice or character flaws. Nevertheless, nothing will go right today, and Murphy's law scores an amazing victory over you.

 

Why?

 

Because TOUGH SHIT, that's why! Today is one of those days. Clench your fists, grind your teeth, try not to snap at anyone, and hope that the earth will decide to rotate a bit faster than usual to put an early end to the day. But it won't. Not on a day like this.

 

Have a nice day.
