jeriendhalYesterday I was supposed to take the day off to chaperone Thomas and Georgia on a daycare field trip to the National Zoo, which I'd never visited. Here's what actually happened.
1. Get to daycare to find out the trip had been cancelled because of the rain.
2. Leave Tom and Georgia at daycare because every day off I take I don't get paid, so I had to hump it to work.
3. Change, drive to work, make an unexpected detour because someone had gotten shot in the apartment building in front of the parking lot I use, so the cops had the street blocked off.
4. Got to work, finally. Boss appreciated me coming in so unexpectedly so much (one of my co-workers was leaving at noon) that she didn't dock me for coming in an hour and half late.
5. Computer has a breakdown while booting up, so I'm more like two hours late starting work.
6. Get an email from Tracy noting that Thomas was having a meltdown at daycare because of the unexpected changes in the schedule. Sigh.
Blargh.
