Can It Be Over Yet?

[ladysprite]

Some days just suck. Big, nasty, mean, achy, crummy, miserable suckage. Even when they start out with sunshine and tea and easy commutes with the window down, there's a destiny of suckitude hiding inside that nothing can crush or eliminate. There are some days that not even Cadbury Creme Eggs, hot baths, and a new Charles DeLint book can completely redeem.



The happy, sunshiney commute ends with you at a cheerful and familiar office full of friendly coworkers, missing equipment, inadequate textbooks, pain in the ass clients, violent and unpredictably aggressive dogs, Mystery Diseases, surgical complications, overscheduling, and understaffing, until it finally ends with you sawing the head off a greyhound on the back sink with a dull rusty hacksaw a half hour after closing, with a stack of someone else's callbacks that you still have to finish waiting on your desk and that sinking unpleasant feeling that only comes when you're gnawingly hungry and vaguely sickened by your surroundings at the same time.

Yeah. It was like that. I can't even make it into a proper Wacky Veterinary Adventure, because it was just too depressing and annoying and upsetting to really mock and laugh about. Some things are funny because they're true, but I've been trying all night to find a way to turn this into a humorous story and it just isn't happening.



I need sympathy, and hugs, and distractions, and cheery flowers, and to never, ever, ever have to live through this day again.

Definite sympathy, and some pretty flowers:

*HUG* sending some good feelings and hugs your way!

[ladysprite.livejournal.com]

Thanks...

Hopefully I'll be able to see you at least at some point in the vague future - if I can ever get in touch with a GM, I'm hoping to play in the next episode of 'Brassy's Men'....

*manyhugs* I'm sorry things went so badly. At least it's over now.

Sawing a...nevermind.

*hug*

Did I tell you I'm planning to make the dress from the painting "Meeting on the Turret Stairs"?

Care to make any guesses as to where it should be fastened? I'm thinking a front closure, but Melisande swears it should lace up the side.

Done any good dancing lately?

[rufinia.livejournal.com]

I know you were asking Becky, but from my (admitidly scanty) knowledge of those types of dresses, the odds are pretty good for a side lacing.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Lovely idea... that should look great on you!

[ladysprite.livejournal.com]

Ooh, gorgeous dress! Unfortunately, my sewing knowledge is ragingly limited - I can think of arguments for both front and side closures.

Dancing is going fairly well. I'm trying not to think about the fact that I'm likely to have to do some teaching soon....

[wren13.livejournal.com]

Yup, it should lace up the side.

*hugs*

Here's a bit of happy music to listen to as a distraction.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

So many hugs, dear. This might distract a little, or perhaps this, this, this, or these.

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I particularly like Flyguy.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

You find the coolest things!

[ladysprite.livejournal.com]

Mmm - thank you, both for the hugs and for the distractions. :)

I miss you, y'know.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Same here. MarCon?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

*hugs*, *hugs*, and more *hugs*

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Ugh! That does sound awful... sorry there's not much I can do at this point, but I hope that's by far the worst day you have for a long time to come.

Hugs to you

[whiffert.livejournal.com]

and many more.

Sometimes it just ain't funny.

[sebastian-tombs.livejournal.com]

Perhaps what you need is a Great Cow Guru

It's a day late, but...

[johnprester.livejournal.com]

Here's a hug (***), and a bigger hug (*****), and the Master Hug I only bring out for real emergencies (*********).

[thbeatnik.livejournal.com]

sympathy and virtual hugs sent.

The best part of some days is that moment when we can cross them off the calendar. This seems to have been such a day, but at least it's crossed off now. Maybe you'll get a surprisingly good day sometime soon as a reward? I certainly hope so.

[iamjw.livejournal.com]

*hugs* and lots of them.

[mindways]

Yeesh. Ick.

*hughughug*

Ack!

[wren13.livejournal.com]

Been there, done that, totally sympathize. We should do lunch.

Re: Ack!

[ladysprite.livejournal.com]

You know those days when you do your best for *everything* and you know you did well, and you did everything right, and cases still fall apart anyway, and you spend the next week second-guessing yourself and wondering what you did wrong and worrying that someone is going to sue you and your life is just going to fall apart?

Does that ever stop?

And what are you doing Thursday? I don't have anything scheduled; lunch could definitely happen....
