Murphy’s Law

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Sandy Collier Posted in Uncategorized .

Do you ever notice that when your running late that “Murphy’s Law” thing always seems to happen.  I often ask myself, “what gives,” ” I mean come on already!”

I was running late leaving the house this morning and of course I have to get behind someone going 15 m.p.h. driving in my neighborhood.    I get on the freeway and no one seems to want to let me merge, “really people.”  I hit every stop light, get behind every slow driver.   And then,  I stop at Walgreens (needed gum)  and there is only one person working the register and I am third in line.  Of course you can guess what happens next, the cashier shouts out, “I need a price check on register one.”  Why wouldn’t he, I thought.  I pull into my parking garage at work at their are no open spots where I normally park.

Oh yeah, the real topper to my morning was:

“Having the toilet seat liner stick to my ass because we are having monsoon season in Nevada and it is so muggy.  It took me forever to peel that second skin from my backside.”  I was almost late clocking in!

    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise but I’m pretty sure it makes a woman cranky and irritable. I’m wondering, did you have time to wash your hands before clocking in? Just wondering. Next blog please.

    YES we do use those great convient paper liners. When in California I didn’t go into a resturant restroom that didn’t have them. My sister in law said it must be a state law, cause the place could be reeking and dirty as hell but there they were hanging on the wall. Girl I have had days like that, that would drive you to consider suicide.When I used to go Jupiter Med Center every day, normally a 15 at the most minute ride turn into half an hour, hit every light, construction trucks, ducks YES ducks leading thier babies across the street, but the final thing that makes my blood boil is I’m in a left hand turning lane and with a green arrow and the clown in front of me must be daydreaming even after I honk my horn, he goes and then DING DING DING and here comes the gates down so a 100 car freight train can rumble thru. I just throw up my hands and say to myself “It’s only 10:00 o’clock, what else is coming?” Of course I’m late, so I miss the Doctor and frustration is my whole day! IHATE THOSE DAYS! So I totally understand you. Only can hope for a better day tommorow. Love you ABL

    That is the reason I like to be on the road early when I travel. Sorry you had to have one of those days. It was so nice to see you writing again, I so enjoy your Blog.

    Hi Sandy & thanks so much for stopping by my blog. A lot of my posts are related to family events but if I run across something that I think is worth sharing I do that too like the horses.
    I hate to admit but you had me snickering when I read about you having to peel your second skin off. And I can relate very well to Murphy’s Law since I work in a town that if one light catches you all of them will. Have a marvelous day.
    Odie
