Argh!

Why is it possible to cram so many annoyances into the same day?

Don't you love it when people call and you answer the phone (for example) "Bob's Bakery," and the response you get (more often than not) is "Yessss....is this Bob's Bakery?"

Bravo, fucktard, I just said it two seconds ago! That should earn an automatic hang up. And I swear, it's like every call. Argh!

Then, both the front desk people decided to go to lunch at the same time. I'm not sure who hit them with the intelligence stick, but man was that a bright idea. So one of the reporters comes up to my desk and says, "There's someone at the door and there's no one to help them." Flustered, I throw my hands up and decide to attempt to help whoever it is. Yeahhh, except of course I get someone who doesn't speak English and is holding papers I've never seen in my life and says something like she was told last week to bring them in... The best I could do was make copies and leave them on the receptionist's desk. She and the other guy should be shot for their timing coordination skillz.

Then, I go to the bank to deposit my paycheck because my direct deposit is in the process of being switched over to the joint account. It's been a long time since I've had to go to the bank on payday...which is always guaranteed to be an absolute nightmare. So riddle me this riddle me that: Why in hell's fury do they have five people wandering around behind the counter, not helping anyone, while there's a line to Zaire in the lobby? What are these people doing? Ever heard of "three's a crowd?" Get crackin'! My idea of a whizbang Friday does not involve spending three hours in the bank. The second you see that lady with four kids coming up to the counter, and you know she doesn't speak English and is going to be spending the whole time chasing 2-year-old Juan around while trying to get five different transactions done, for the love of Josephus, open a new friggin' counter! Santa Maria!!

Then, on the way back to work, some sort of acorn thing fell off a tree and hit me in the head. Fucker.
