I love swearing. Especially when I have a shit-tastic day like today. I also like to make up words. But technology these days is determined to thwart my every attempt to fashion myself the love child of George Carlin and Dr. Seuss, linguistically speaking.
I decided to complain to the Well Travelled One.
"Duck this T9 bulldog."
*sigh*
Took my car in for work this morning. The aforementioned man-friend and I decided to drop the car off and make the walk to the next town for work. About a 90 minute walk, which wasn't terrible, aside from being humid as hell. Oh, and the bugs on the trail deciding once again that I made a tasty feast.
After getting my quote from my mechanic, and a minor coronary, I figured some creative banking would be in order, since my GST cheque had come in yesterday. However, as I was leaving, I realized that my bank card was still in my shorts after buying gas. So, great, I'll have to drive home to get it.
Only I don't have my bloody car.
So that's that. Okay. Not that it mattered, since I didn't end up paying for the repairs today ANYWAY, but I'll get to that. My co-worker gave my a ride back to the shop, but thanks to people who think it's totally cool to call a company at five minutes to closing and ask inane, open ended questions with no answers, I was late getting out of work and didn't make it to the shop in time. It was locked up tight, having closed at 5 and it was, at that point, about 5:10.
So S. offered me a ride to the house, which I accepted. We were almost there when I remembered where my house key was..
That's right. On my key chain. With my car keys. Which were locked up at the mechanic's with my car.
Yup.
So I asked if I could get a ride back to town so I could get the man-friend, who had the other key.
Needless to say, any plans we had to go out of town tonight have been shot all to hell, and I've decided not to cook dinner since I have no desire to see what myriad ways I can fuck up dinner. Last thing I need is to burn down another house, or give both the man friend and I acute food poisoning. The kids are away at camp, so they get to escape my reign of terror.
Lucky kids.
Swear words are an essential part of communication, specially when you remember your keys are at the mechanics. One word will suffice. FUCK!
ReplyDeleteI think everybody swears once in a while. Some are just too embarrassed to say so.
