[I just want to first say that I know this site is badly in need of a redesign. It's really starting to feel like the jacket I wore every day in the 10th grade, like it's becoming part of my DNA. It only took me three years to get the short film this site is intended to promote (to people other than "gangbang porn"...gross!), so bare with me (or is it "bear" with me? I read about this expression in an article recently and now I'm more confused...).]

So, why was today from hell you ask? I think the Gods above intended it to be that way. And it wasn't just the constipation (OK, I know I said I wouldn't write about health/body issues anymore, but maybe that's what got me constipated...?!). It was just one of those days that didn't work as a day. And here are just a few highlights:

1) My doctor's office wouldn't accept my new insurance, despite the fact that they accept this insurance and my doctor of many years agreed to keep me on. Why did they not let me see him? Because it wasn't in the system...yet! (Can I rant about beauracracies for a while?...oh, let me finish on my day).

2) The parking kiosk only accepted cash (which I had none of).

3) The parking kiosk ran out of parking passes (after I drove to the nearest ATM and came back with cashola).

4) The girl at the self-check-out register at Ralph's took 20 minutes to figure out how to be her own cashier (we called for assistance twice). I tried to have faith in her, to be on her side, but in the end I just felt like an ass waiting behind her.

On a note of gratitude, I did have a nice talk with my mom, I didn't get into any car accidents, or attract parking tickets, and I didn't die...

Just for today, I can have a bad day.
