Weirdest day ever

Today has been the strangest one in a long time. Since I didn't go to work last Thursday I've been making up the time at the rate of about 1.5 hours a day all week. My days are long enough, but with this added time its become nearly surreal. Yesterday was a 12 hour shift - just enough to completely fry me out. Anyway, I got up a bit early today and thought I'd leave just a few minutes earlier than normal so I could pick up a spot of brekkie to brighten the day. Good thing I did. Weird thing #1 I normally take the subway about 10 minutes up the line and then take a bus another 15 minutes and bam, I'm at work. Not today. There was a small fire in the underground station after mine which shut down the entire line. Had to walk about 20 minutes to get to the nearest line - take that line for two stops, change lines again, take that train about 20 minutes up - hop a bus across town to the usual station I catch my bus from and then take that one to work. All told it took me nearly an hour and a half to do a normal 35 minute commute. Weird thing #2 Waiting for my bus to take me back to the station to get home this evening. Standing at the stop, watching all the traffic drive past. Suddenly see a big yellow schoolbus go zipping past. Schoolbuses at night are strange. Not happy things like freshly sharpened pencils, or the smell of blackboard chalk. Eerie things like Freddy Krueger and bizarre South Park "best of" episodes ("now that's what I call a sticky situation"). Weird thing #3 Well, not so much weird as annoying. Made an appointment at the H&R Block office to get my 2003 taxes filed - GO REFUND!! When I booked the appointment yesterday, I made sure to mention that I needed to see someone who was familiar with filing foreign tax credits. Got there, waited patiently till my time - and didn't you know it that the person wasn't available. Had to leave my stuff there to have him do it during the day. Guess I'm not getting my cashback straight away - but as long as its coming I'll be happy. Other than that - I'm just tired, a bit irritable, hungry - damn hungry! - and have to leave to do laundry. Will my days ever get better/easier/better/happier/better/richer? ;-) Gotta say to one person in particular - cause she needs to hear it - love ya girlfriend!
