Crappy ways to start your day:

[shannonabigail]

Mine: With a pre-7:00AM text from my boss telling me that my supervisor wants to keep the glass bottles that our guests (conference center) were using since yesterday.  So she wants me to collect all the trash, take it downstairs, and sort through it to pull out the glass bottles.  I took that trash to the dumpster last night.  Whoops to me for being a good employee.

What's your crappy way to start a day?

That totally stinks! (no pun intended)
Mine is finding out that a former co-worker and passed away after a year and a half of fighting a rare form of brain cancer (apparently only Asian men have been known to get it, and she was neither Asian or male.)

Woah that's weird.  Also, cancer sucks.

So sorry to hear this. T&P for you and your friends family.

Cancer does suck.

My day started fine and then I realized I have the wake of my friend who just passed from cancer tonight. It's been a sad sad week over here.

On second thought, comparatively, trash doesn't suck so bad.

gidgetgirl08 -- I'm sorry for the loss of your coworker

[Deleted]

Sorry for those of you dealing with loss right now. My morning sucked because I had to wake up and come to work, and that is nothing compared to what some of you are dealing with.

[mommabakes]

I'm so sorry for those of you feeling with losses.

A call from my mechanic saying my car isn't worth fixing.

[ampaints]

Sorry for those of you who lost someone. I'll just shut up my bitching about not wanting to wake up.

Follow up to the trash story: I went to grab the first bag of trash which had egg shells and chocolate milk (among other things) in it. Managed to pull the bottle out, wash it off, and take my gloves off before having to run to the bathroom and losing my entire breakfast. Then my supervisor comes in and says it was never her intent to go through the trash, just to be on the lookout for the bottles throughout the building to prevent them from being thrown away. It was my big boss's idea to go through the trash. Ugh.

Sorry for those who have lost people close to them.

My "crappy" morning was indeed crap. DD started whining loudly at 4am and when I went to her room to see what the problem was (usually she dropped her paci), she says "I pooped." I didn't believe her at first because she hasn't pooped in the middle of the night for at least a year and a half, and not regularly since she was an infant. Smelled the diaper - no stink. So I stuck a finger in the leg hole...poop. Ew, I just touched poop with my finger. So then I changed a poopy diaper in the dark because there was no way I was going to turn a light on and give permission for the toddler to stay awake. Put DD back to bed and she stayed fairly quiet even though it took her 40 min to fall back asleep. Meanwhile, I was still awake...took me at least an hr to fall back asleep so I only got another hour of sleep after that.

Sorry for those who have had a loss.

My crappy story was yesterday morning. Got my 16 month out of bed yesterday morning and for no reason she promptly puked all over me, herself, and the dog. So there I am at 7 am trying to clean her up, clean myself up, yelling at my dog who is doing weird circles around the room trying to figure out what's on his back, and yelling at my other dog to 'leave it' because she's trying to lick said puke off the other dog. Major gag! Can't believe I held it together. Finally got everyone cleaned up and was only 20 min late for work. Good news is the 16 month old is fine, it was just some weird one-off.

THAT SUCKS but I did laugh at the visual of one dog walking in circles trying to see his back while the other was trying to lick it off. I still am laughing at this.

I should also say, I am highly impressed you were only 20 mins late! Here's to Friday being a better day for you!

looking back on it, it was pretty Damn funny. To add to your visual my dogs are boxers... Not small dogs by any means.

DS waking up at 5:45 this morning and losing my cool over it due to exhaustion. Plus, DH got all upset too. And then DS didn't stop crying for the next hour or so. Fantastic.

My littlest was up all night screaming. I'm so freaking tired. Took her to the pedi and she has an ear infection. Sick babies make me sad.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, but it made me laugh today - especially the dog part!  Oh the joys that we have to look forward to!

I threw up again (second time so far) first thing in the morning, so there was nothing to come up. Evidently my body wanted to throw up SOMETHING so I was kneeling on the floor of the bathroom for a good five minutes of solid heaving. I feel perfectly fine and finish breakfast, then hop in shower. I get out of the shower and look in the mirror: I have what appears to be a black eye. From barfing up nothing. Thank god for makeup. It's wearing off though, so I'm kind of hiding at work.
