Anyone ever experience one of those random strings of pure terrible luck? Well, last night the world was against me something rotten.
I suffer from hay fever and yesterday I was really suffering. I'm also allergic to dust so I decided that hoovering the house would really sweeten the deal. (I didn't think that but it needed to be done)
Later in the evening, my nose was sore, my throat hurt from sneezing, my senses of smell and taste were gone and my head was pounding. I decided I would clear my head by soaking in a nice hot bath. Now, it was getting pretty late so the sun had gone down. Flicked the switch for the bathroom light and POP, lightbulb dies quite a violent death.
"Awww, for f-"
Unscrewed the light globe and tipped the shards into the bin. Go back downstairs, reach down to open the cupboard to get a new bulb, grab the box and as soon as I stand up straight the bottom of the box falls out and the last spare lightbulb in the house falls onto the tiled kitchen floor.
I should mention at this point, that I was barefoot...

My lightbulb died a few days ago and the wire snapped, i needed to replace the whole god damned wire to make it work. Plus my stomach hurt like hell for 3 days straight.
We all should take a lesson out of Red Dwarf. Odds are I contracted the positive virus whereas you contracted a very bad luck virus.
I feel you for you though
Some set up: I don't drive, and I stay at work past the time that the busses stop running. I take my bike with me on the bus in the morning, and bike back home in the evenings.
One day I woke up late. My brother had used up all the hot water before my shower. Also I had an awful taste in my mouth to find out that I was out of tooth-paste. I go grab my bike, and as I head towards the bus stop I see that the bus is driving off without me. I waited outside in the hot shitty weather until the next bus came, but it didn't have a bike rack so I had to wait for the next one. Because the next bus was ~40 mins away I decided to bike to work. About half-way to work my bike chain breaks in such a way that I can't fix it without tools. I didn't figure this out at first, and so I wasted time trying to fix it. I walked my bike home because I didn't want to leave my broken bike at work. By the time I got home the bus had already gone by, and so I had to wait on the bus again. When I finally got on the bus one of the stops had a disabled wheel-chair person at it, and it took forever to get the person inside with the slow chair-lift. After that we hit heavy traffic. Once I finally got to work I decided to take the elevator because my job is on the 6th floor and I just wasn't feeling the stairs. It was really slow, and lots of people got off when it finally got to my floor. Once I was on, a guy that got on with me went down to the first floor (ground-floor is second). When it went back up it stopped at the second floor again, where a random influx of people got on the elevator. They then proceeded to hit every floor button on the way up. After I finally make it to my floor I go to my office door and realize that my brother had taken my keys and not given them back. I had to get someone else in my department to let me in.
That was about a month ago. >_<
tldr; I really need to learn how to drive.
Also, who locks their office during work hours?
I personally find days that start out really horrible very often end up awesome fsr, like some universal constant or something =P
