Hey:

Its almost 3:00pm and I just realized that I have not gotten a chance to vent my frustrations today. I'm having another one of those, "dang why did things go so wrong today?"....Got up this morning, had to iron and hit the showers in a 35 minute time window....realistically speaking...wasn't gonna happen. Finally made it to my carpool's apartment (my day to drive, so you know something had to go wrong). I mentioned ironing didnt I? Well, get to work an hour later (not late, on time, just had an hour long drive)....anyways, get to work, My nicely starched shirt is an wrinkled as all out back doaws (slang pronunciation of doors). So, now I'm and hour away from home, at work in a professional office with a wrinkled up shirt....and it gets more wrinkled as the day goes on....fortunately I'll be off by the time I finish this post (thank God). So for the frustrations of my day....Get to work, find out that the trip to Charolotte planned for monday, may be pushed back till wednesday, which mean I wont get back until friday, then I have the Lock-in at the church friday night.....that was the first thing. Secondly, I had to travel all around Atlanta with this guy that I work with today, which wasnt too bad because it got me out of the office, which can be boring at times (but I aint complaining because I could be doing manual labor). So I had to travel all around the city wondering just how wrinkled my freakin shirt really was. (Im not self conscious by no means...if it was just a little be wrinkled it would have been ok, but noooooo...this mug, just keep shrivling up....go figure. So then we get back around 12:00pm...lunch time...good...right? Wrong! I decide that I would take a trip across midtown to find the Jersey Mike's we went to a few weeks back. And wouldnt you know it, I dang near got lost. Thankfully my roommate knows the area, so I hit him up on the cell. [insert only good news of the day] *Jersey Mike's has the best Chicken Philly's Anywhere {#16 Chicken Philly Reg.} So I get back to work, probably like 10 mins late, considering I got lost, and lo and behold, my supervisor was standing in my office, as if he was waiting on me.....go figure. So I told him that I didnt leave for lunch until late, because we had to go out this morning. So he proceeds to ask me about the trip next week to North Carolina, and I answer to try and change the subject. He made it seem as if he was in the office looking at the new surveying equipment we had picked up this morning, but I dunno. So now thats over.....shirts still wrinkled....and I promise you, it seems like every BIGWIG around came through today. I held my own, but normally, nobody comes to our department on a wednesday, go figure. Finally, I talked to my potential roommate for the new apartment...come to find out the Leasing Office is trying to screw us over with the deposit....they want an astronomical amount of money up front....They say its the credit, I say its cause we black men...we may not have a 800 beacon score, but ....oh well you get the point. So now im trying to figure out how im gonna front the loot to get the place, since we have already put down money to hold the apartment...........Just a screwed up day, but Imma pray about it when I make it home....and Im gonna throw this shirt away too.....see you tomorrow...same place, maybe not the same time though...peace
