Clampet Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Well I don't consider myself to be the superstitious type, but this is how my day went.. Discover this morning, I am out of white shirts to wear with my suit to go on a 9:00 interview. Call the interviewer, and figure, honesty the best policy, and request we re-schedule fer next Monday. He says, "Don't worry about it, come in today anyway". So I wore dress pants and a short sleeved colared shirt. I drive there, I'm about 3 minutes late as I arrive at the underground parking lot. I park the car. I lean over on the passenger seat with my elbow, and hear a crunching sound. I pull myself up and discover I just broke one of the arms on my prescription eyeglasses. Now I'm ticked. I say to self, "Now is a test of my resolve and ability to cope with stressful situations. Yeah, that's it. Yes, I will calm myself down and pretend nothing happened. I can deal with the sunglasses later. So.. I make my way over to one of those automated pay to park machines. Some other guy is ahead of me. He gets his ticket, and discovers he got gypped on $9.00 he put in. He reluctantly, slowly walks away grumbling, so I deposit what change I had in the coin holder, a coin at a time, and all I had was $1.80. The machine has a message on the display: "Insufficient money please deposit" or something to that effect. So now I'm screwed. I reason out I could take a chance, but quickly dismiss that thought, turn around go back to the car, get in, start 'er up and drive back home. I come in and go to my daytimer on the wall to erase the appointment, and notice today is Friday the 13th. I know there are measures I could have taken as preparation, it's just that it seemed everything was conspiring to go wrong. Very spooky!
Guest gbfisher Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Late for a job interview and going with no money or cards?............ SHOULDA JUST GONE
tonyb Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Had a slow leak in a tire, after 2 return trips they discover today that there is a pinhole in the rim! I've never heard of that before. So I dismiss it and open a fruit bottom yogurt to eat while reading OFC, and there is NO FRUIT in the bottom! Not as bad as your day, but still strange! Tony
steve_paul Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 I just found out my mother in law is coming for dinner on the weekend :wacko:

danbouck Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Left work to check out a site and the truck broke down, Took it in to get fixed and decided to take the other truck. So I get to the site and our sales guy measured the entire elevator wrong All ticked off I get back to the office and call about the truck, "it's ready". So I go to pick it up and they lost the keys! So now my phone is turned off and I'm not leaving the house!
