You KNOW it's bad when ...

[Stormsfury]

1) You have to work 5 hours LONGER than you're scheduled end time.
2) The bank takes out $200 MORE than what you have in your account leaving you with a NEGATIVE BALANCE
3) As a result of NO. 2, a check bounces because of it costing you ANOTHER $27 plus ANOTHER $30 at the place you wrote the check.
4) As a result of Rule No. 1 - you have to borrow money just for some gas and a cheap $2 lunch ... (two double cheeseburgers at McDonalds)
5) The girl of your dreams regards you in the highest as a FRIEND, but nothing more despite the fact that everyone around you thinks you should be together.
6) The boss is all over your ass about everything, yet he can't seem to fix problems on your paycheck ... and leaves you $240 LESS than what you're supposed to get b/c they conveniently forget to address the EAL (Emergency Annual Leave) that was supposed to be used 8 WEEKS AGO!!!
7) As a result of #6, it snowballed into Rules #1-4.
8) Some co-workers find ways to constantly stab you in the back, despite the fact that everyone KNOWS you're the best damn worker in the building (which turned into Rule #1)
9) Most people around you are dumb sons-of- (censored).
10)You back into a guardrail that dents your car on the back right hand side.
11)In regards to Rule #8, it's even worse when all the fans and the A/C doesn't work, leaving you SWEATING like a day out in the summer's heat.
12)NO CIGARETTES!!!!
13)BORING WEATHER PATTERN!!!

[coriolis]

Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.

I think it was Howard Jones that sang "Things can only get better"

[mf_dolphin]

If I were you Mike I would go to sleep before something else happens LOL

[breeze]

Add the fact that today was Monday, Mike,
and, you're a great candidate for Prozac!

Yeah ... even more drama (that I don't need).

Addendum

14) Trying to figure out the other one that I had a couple of dates, including a surprise date (and she got a hold of my NECK on the dance floor and left a hickey that lasted almost a WEEK!!!) ... nothing else significant has happened after that ...
15) Trying to hold your tongue (see rule #5) about the TWO Boyfriends that the girl of your dreams so that a war doesn't get started ... and I would likely be the target since BOTH are quite jealous of you (and you're NOT even involved romantically with her) ... LOL!

Yeah right ...

16) Getting woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares that the girl of your dreams blames you for since the dreams themself have come true (one of her boyfriends got jumped by 4 black guys, but they couldn't knock him off his feet, despite being hit by a pool stick, a cue ball, and a ring) ... the 4 bailed just as fast as they swung ... also, funny, that I dreamt that I got bit by a vampire in a forest at night, only to have Rule #14 happen 2 days later ... LOL! ... so sleeping isn't quite safe either.
17) The girl of your dreams' daughter is sleeping beside you and she shifts and kicks you square in the jewels thrashing about trying to get comfortable ... THREE TIMES in less than FIVE MINUTES!

Let add some more for today ...

18) Looking for a registered sticker and spend several frantic minutes tearing up the work area only to give up, and realize and find it right under your nose ... literally.
19) A supervisor comes back and writes you up for something that was already discussed about a week ago...and you can guarantee that it will be fought like a werewolf hungry for dinner!
20) busting your left hand across the top drawer (and it happens EVERY DAY at least once that you run the window).
21) Waking up...period to spend 10 whole lovely hellhole hours at work.
22) Doing every job BUT YOUR OWN and listening to people mean lady trying your damnedest NOT to cuss like a sailor.
23) Making rookie mistakes and gittery when a VERY HOT lady is at your window and you're trying not to look nervous, embarassed, or like a dumbass...
24) Passing a city policeman doing 15 miles over the speed limit.
25) And finally ... tossing out a cigarette which finds a way to hit another policeman's windshield ...
