A day of small irritations.
Jun. 15th, 2004 08:04 amIt really is. Nothing huge or disastrous, just a lot of little things. Alex gave me grief about going to day care this morning. The baggage handlers apparently set the luggage with Alex's clothes in it in a puddle, so the entire bottom layer was wet, and I only really found out the extent of the wetness today. Our road was flooded, so the car got all muddy. Alex wouldn't go into the day care center without significant prodding. No fewer than three drivers tried to cut me off in the two miles between the day care center and the freeway. There were no parking spots on the street, so I had to park in the garage*. Getting out of the car, I got mud on my slacks. In the office, I discovered that the analysis I'd left to run overnight had errored out five minutes into the instruction set. Opening my email, I discovered that one of the emails I sent last night was refused (so ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pyrephox, this is why you didn't get an email from me last night) and that one of the articles I'd submitted to Pyramid Magazine was rejected not because it wasn't a good article, but because of licensing concerns (it was a Hellboy article). While waiting for the analysis to run, I decided to pay bills; the amount of this paycheck's bills exceeded the amount of this paycheck by almost $50.
Like I said, nothing huge or disastrous. Just a lot of twigs piling up.
* I overwhelmingly prefer parking on the street to parking in the garage, primarily because of the cost: parking on the street is free, but parking in the garage costs me either $10 a day (for the garage attached to the building where I work) or $50 a month (for the garage about ten blocks from where I work). Strictly speaking, there were open parking spots on the street this morning; however, each of them came with a free $40 parking ticket for parking in a temporary no-parking zone (on Tuesday and Friday, that side of the street is a no-park zone from 8 to 11 so that the street cleaners can come through; the same is true of the other side on Monday and Thursday).
