One of Those Days

      Yesterday I have to chalk it up to just one of those days. I  woke up in the morning failing to check the dispatch jobs for the day prior to going to bed.  So in the early morning when I woke up for the day I ended up checking through my phone in a hurry.  Now see this is where my vision comes into play being that since age 40 my sight has been dimminishing over the years.  So needless to say I grab for a pair of glasses through half awake eyes and saw the work for the day and made a quick determination that the jobs I wanted were not on there.  

      Well whether it be my rush to judgement on my part or the inefficiency of our dispatchers in doing their job that ended up costing me my day of work.  But maybe it all worked out for the best.  Yes i did miss a days wages but I was able to take care of a few things including starting the day out with breakfast at my daughters house.  Spending the morning there was nice and although I did need to get going and taking care of some things it was still nice while I was there being that our sunday got cut short.  So after leaving there a quick trip to the pay office to changes my status, not like I would do on let's say Facebook.  Then off I went back home, with a quick trip to the gas station. 

       You ever wonder why it is that our gas price keep going up and down so much, I kind of think it is for their amuzement because anything of a positive nature takes prices forever to drop, but a accident of small contastrophe and oh boy what those rates climb out of this fear that we will be suddenly without any fuel for the comsumer.   Scare tactics to the max is all that is and I think we are all getting sick of it.  But there I go again going off point.   Well it was to my advantage this day as after getting gas I went home and then left the house again to take care of the other dread of my life tax time.  Well anyway after a favorable visit to my taxman I passed by the gas station that I got gas at earlier not even 3 hrs earlier and the price had gone up 2 cents if I had waited until i got off work today it may have been as high as 5 to 10 cents higher.  

         Finally after the days activities I was finally home again relaxing and catching up on some of the shows I recorded on the DVR's.  I was grateful that the whole day was now over and winding down before heading to bed and still found time to look back on the day on what got accomplished.  But still I have to admit I am still a little angry at missing a day of work and on something totally off issue.  I had purchased some bookmarks from Borders a long time ago and I keep seeming to forget where I set them aside.  Being that Borders is no longer out there I am kind of upset that they disappeared like that.  Well anyway life is full of ups and downs and if it wasn't life would be too easy and boring.  So thank you for keeping my life interesting to say the least.
