World’s worst day!!!!!!!!

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

Yesterday………oh what a day. A day that doesn’t compare to any other. A day that will go down in the record books as world’s worst day. A day that will rival no other. It all started at 6:32am when I woke up 28 minutes early and was wide awake. Waking up early sucks, but is not the worst part of the day. I wanted to get to school early so I drove because I had to take the car to be repaired right after class, and I was supposed to have a quiz so I wanted to study. I get to school, study hard for 40 minutes, get to class with all the knowledge sprung freshly in my mind, and because no one knows what Westphalia was (idiots) we had to take a detour on our path of learning back to high school people and did not have a quiz that I had studied hard for. the quiz has officially been cancelled as we have no time for it. Great. Then I go to psych and our TA was sick, so we had the full class with the prof sitting in on our question time so we actually had to do work- LAME.

Then I take my car to the shop to be fixed. I dropped it off and they told me to come back at 1:30 and it will be done. So now I am stuck in Transcona sans vehicle- yet with a bus pass and two legs. So, I walk down from across the casino down to Kildonan Place, look around and try to kill some time, but it is still only 11:00. Next I decide to walk across the street to paruse the Walmart (where I did find an excellent $6.83 cardigan! best part of the day, oh and two movies for $6.83 as well) and all the other box stores. That killed some time, my feet hurt, and by that time I was hungry. After realizing I had no money to really spend it is not very much fun to windowshop on foot, decided to get some lunch. I picked up a magazine and headed to Tim’s where I ate my sandwich and soup combo for over an hour. By this time now it was only 1:00, so I decided to walk down to Winners and look around. Nothing much there so then I walked back to the dealership to pick up my car which is supposed to be finished by now.

I get to the dealership and ask the guy how much longer, and he tells me that there was more wrong with the car than first expected so it will be about another hour. So I was still like alright because I can still go home and get a 45 minute nap in because I am exhausted. I pull out my magazine and continue on reading about how cosmo can change my life. An hour passes and I had had 2 free cups of coffee and two of water. With the clock stopped on 2:30 I was ready to leave, yet time slowed to a standstill and my car was not finished yet because they found something new. All I could think was Hot damn this better not cost me any money. So by this time I had reconciled the fact that I will be getting no nap today and man that was the shits! But life doesn’t always go as smoothly or how you want it to.

After reading all pamphlets, two papers, and all flyers in the joint I still had to sit there until 3:44 stuck on Regent and then had to make it to 912 Portage ave. I get to work tired, grouchy, angry, hot, sticky, and totally disgusting. Work is slow, I am bored, not feeling very chatty, or like doing anything until the clock eventually reads 7:50 and am gettting excited to go home and have a nap before Josh comes over. Our last customer left at 7:56 so we were getting ready to close when……………..

WE WERE ROBBED AT GUN POINT!!!!!!! at 7:58pm

I couldn’t believe it at first. It happened just like it does in the movies. He walked in and said this is a hold up. It didn’t faze any of us at first so no one got up until he pulled out this revolver and started pointing it at us. We gave him our ATM cash box and some money from the till while he proceeded to swear and yell at us because we have a time delayed safe. He took the money, and then left. But on the way out he told us to have a good night. What a fucker!!! I was pissed!!!!! I had to call 911 again for the 21st time in my life, fill out numerous police reports, give crazy descriptions, and stay at work until 9:51. Again I will not get to have my nap. I wasn’t shaken up at all, but others were and I felt bad. I knew I would eventually be robbed, but I expected something different and it not to happen to me. So here I am today back at work, unfortunately, trying to count down the hours until I can go home and finally take my nap.

A positive note to the day, after I got home from work I did get to have my favourite subways sub and watch one of my all time favourite movies Dirty Dancing. I also did procure 2 excellent cheap DVD’s and an awesome cardigan, and lots of walking exercise. A negative note to the day was that I wasted my whole day doing things I shouldn’t have to do, walked around Transcona feeling like a bedouin with no purpose, then had to go to work, GOT ROBBED!!!!!!!!!! and then missed out on the one simple pleasure that could have made the day better. What a shitty day, oh woes me. It is the Bowen luck curse out to get me. It has moved on past Luke on to me!
