One of THOSE Days!!!

Let me tell you about this day I had yesterday!!! I decided on Wednesday I was going to go to Atlanta this weekend after I found out we got an extension on our latest project. But that meant I had things to do! I packed my bag without incident. The drama started when I left the house.

First I went to get an oil change. The first place was booked until Saturday so I went to the next place I had a coupon for that wasn't one of those obscenely overpriced chains. Tires Plus. Ugh. Just as bad. I heard them quote 3 different prices for the same service while sitting at the front. Shameless liars. When I asked him about a tire, he said it would cost me $85 and I said no, he said, "Just kidding, $35." LOSER. Never going back there again.

I also decided to try out Florida chain Toojay's Gourmet Deli for lunch. There was a 15 minute wait for my $9.55 sandwich which I wasn't previously warned about. When I got it, it was burnt. The "fruit cup" was majority honeydew and canteloupe with 3 grapes & 2 little cuts of pineapple. I had to traipse back to get my money back. Did I mention I was walking from the auto place? And it was literally 92 in October? With humidity? And that it felt like nearly 100? NOT. HAPPY. At all.

Then I went to the ATM to get money out & the cash dispenser opened and closed multiple times without dispensing anything, then said transaction cancelled. I went to a different ATM, got my money, went home to check my account. Of course BOTH transactions are on there as processing so I got to spend 9 minutes on the phone to file a dispute. Awesome.

Then as I went to wash dishes one of my sink stoppers broke. So I used the one that's temperamental. Then it broke, too. LE SIGH!!! I couldn't take it anymore! I got my bags together and left! I got some Sonic when I stopped for gas. As I finished my tater tots I saw a sign for BOJANGLES!! One of my fave fast food spots from home that has NEVER been on 75!!!! I don't know when they added it to my route but 11 EXITS from where I stopped for food? THAT'S COLD!!! And the cap on a sucktastic day.

Now I'm in Atlanta and I just found out some amazing news: TASTE OF ATLANTA IS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!! HECKS YEAH!!!! You know what we're doing tomorrow!
