A very, very long day!

Today has been one of those days. Where everything just falls apart.

Let's start it off slowly: I missed my alarm clock. I am usually woken up at 5.45 am, but for some reason, I slept through the alarm, so I woke up at 6.50 am - which is the time my train is coming to the station. So I rush up, put on some clothes and head downstairs.

My roommate, for some reason, has left a garbage bag RIGHT in front of the stairs, so I barge into that, sending the contents flying everywhere. It's just bits of carpet, but still. I cleaned up the worst, and texted my roommate about me spilling the contents on the floor. He was very understanding, even acknowledging that it was placed in a bad spot.

You think?

Anyway, I get out the door, running up to the train. When I get there, the train is leaving right in front of me, so I have to wait 10 minutes for the next one.. I know I am going to be late, so I make a phone call to inform them, that I will be late.

"No worries, you'll get here when you get here."

About 20 minutes later, I am at the bus. Somehow, the bus is running smoothly - until we hit the motorway - where the bus breaks down.. So I am thinking "Just shoot me already"..

It takes 20 minutes for a replacement bus to show up. By then, it was 8.50 am. I am at least 30 minutes from work, and my shift starts at 9..

Fast forward 20 minutes - the replacement bus arrives, and luckily there were no issues with that one. I arrive at work 25 minutes later, because the bus driver made up a LOT of time on the motorway. I make my way into the production area, while apologizing to my teamleader. He's looking at me going "Chill out, no stress. You are only 20 minutes late, no worries. it could be worse. Take this cart here, and handle the Combine orders".

So I do.

Now, this wouldn't be a Monday on a Wednesday, without SOME issues - which I get a LOT of. At my work, I am using something called Autostore, which is a VERY expensive piece of equipment. When it gets too hot, it breaks down. And it did - several times.

At this point, I just want to go home and go to bed - and it's only 11 am. My shift ends at 5 pm, which means I have a LONG day ahead of me.

The rest of my workday went by relatively smoothly. Minor issues arise, like running out of carts, missing items from the Autostore and so on.

At 5 pm, I am desperate to head home. I clock out, put on my jacket and head to the bus - which is late, because of course it is.

I arrive at my destination without any incidents. I am thinking to myself, that maybe this time, I will FINALLY have a smooth journey home. I get off at my stop, and head to the other side of the road, to catch the bus back. I only have to wait 2 minutes for the bus. 2 minutes turns to 10. 10 turns to 30. At this point, I am just ready to have a major breakdown. I then decide to walk to the station, to catch the train home. When I arrive, 4 minutes until the train arrives.

"Great, finally things are going my way"..

Yeah, not so much.. The sign says 4 minutes - and for the next 10 minutes, the sign STILL says 4 minutes. I can only laugh to myself. It's almost hilarious.

Finally, after 15 minutes, the train arrives. The rest of my journey home is without any problems - until I hit the shopping mall. Cops everywhere! Some idiot decided to phone in a bomb scare, which then closed all the shops - and I needed to get into one of them, to get my dinner.

I just decide to head home, to see if I had something in my freezer that I could eat. Luckily, I did, so I made the food and went upstairs, sinking into my chair.

Today has been very, VERY long. I am so glad it's over!
