Today was not my day. Now I don't usually complain about my days, but this one really has been pure crap. I felt like I was in a video game (like the SIMS... just not as epic) and my player was intentionally fucking with me.
First off, I wasn't able to fall asleep until 3am. I was tossing and turning in my bed for 2 hours.
Then, I had to wake up at 7:45am so that starting at 8am, I could race against 1000 other business kids for good time slots for my 2nd year university courses. I think that was one of the most frustrating and tedious things I have ever done. University course selection websites have never been built for heavy traffic. ERROR, ERROR, ERROR! CRASH, CRASH, CRASH! It took me over an hour to properly apply for all of my classes.
The course selection took so long that I became late for work. Unfortunately, the can of cereal I had just gotten my breakfast from smashed onto the floor. Out exploded corn flakes, dried almond slices, freeze dried blueberries, oats, and crumbs all over the kitchen floor.
After painstakingly extracting all the cereal bits from underneath the refrigerator and behind the sliding door and sweeping it all up, I was finally allowed to proceed to work.
Outside, it was dreary and drizzling. Joy. I had a bit of a wet commute to work.
I got to work and things were okay for a few hours. Worked a bit, reviewed my newly created school timetable, ate some chocolate and Twizzlers... Until took out my BRAND NEW, BOUGHT 3 DAYS AGO camera, turned it on, and found that my LCD touchscreen had a huge, spider-web-shaped crack spawning across my whole screen. What. the. fuck.
It was one of these cracks. ^
It wasn't just a crack, it was a gigantic crack. It was so bad that the screen just turned up black. The camera was still working, you could still take pictures, but you'd have to blindly guess at what you're taking.
Turns out that when I accidentely dropped my dad's larger camera on my digicam the other night... it did cause damage. Lots of damage.
A quick call to the Samsung help line informed me that because the damage wasn't covered by the warranty, I'd have to pay $400HKD (roughly $50CDN) just to have my camera looked at and evaluated by an expert. AND THEN, once they confirmed that my camera was fixable, I would find out how much it would cost to replace the screen. After some research on Google, I found out that replacing the LCD screen about cost over $100CDN/US.
Man, I bought my camera for just slightly over $100CDN! (I got it on a really, really, REALLY good sale because it's last year's model. Like more than 50% off.)
So I cried over my lost camera for awhile (I REALLY liked it) as I ate my lunch of chicken pie.
On the way home, it was raining even more (luckily I had an umbrella at the office) and super crummy to walk in as I wasn't wearing the proper shoes.
Back at home, I was extracting a small bowl from the dish drying rack, when my favourite, big, green, cereal-eating bowl fell out of the drying rack and smashed in half.
And so, we have concluded to now. This day was made a whole lot worse just because I was lacking in proper sleep. Things are always shittier when you're tired (unless it's CLAY, cause then you're exhausted to the point where everything is awesome). There is still 5 hours left until this horrible Wednesday ends. I sincerely hope nothing else bad happens in the next several hours and I pray that Thursday will be better.
