Just one of those days

Posted by Eric on September 4, 2008

Have you ever had one of those completely terrible days at work? One of those days that just leaves you shaking your head, gasping for breath, and wondering, “Where exactly did the last nine hours go?” Well, today was one of those days where everything was an issue and nothing seemed to go as planned.

At about 5:30 I decided that I’d had just about enough of it and headed out into the pouring rain, trying to make my way home. As expected, traffic was horrendous. Why is it that people seem to forget how to drive whenever any sort of precipitation is falling? When I finally made it into the garage and through the door, all I wanted was to see my little girl; my smiling almost-three-year-old baby girl. Sometimes when you have a bad day it only takes one little smile from you child to make everything else just sort of disappear. One little, “I love you,” to make your worries fade away. Well, that didn’t happen.

I tried to give her a hug and got, “No!” I tried to kiss her head and got, “No!” Looks like when it rains it pours even at home. At least tomorrow is Friday.
