I am just having one of those days right now. I should've just called in sick from work or never gotten out of bed. Nothing as serious as say losing a human life, but mine maybe if my blood pressure climbs any higher. It seems anything electronic I own has somehow caused me some grief today among the majority of the aggravation. I got up from my home PC this afternoon to come to my folks and nearly had a fall that almost pulled the PC to the ground too. It got moved, but didn't fall and so far nothing seems wrong there other than a mis step (I'm almost certain the worst is yet to come there being this my folks' PC). That was because of my damned Zune cable (that little device also factors into my current misery more later). I recorded the season finale of my current favorite cartoon, Transformers: Animated. The first of the 2 parter came out fine, but the second part recorded on some defective memory unit in our DVR and got screwed up. I was really hoping to get them too as the Canadian/YTV version did some stupid cut in over the end credits that messed up the real last scene in place of the regular end credits. I came to my folks to wash clothes and typical of the luck I'm having today, it started to rain. I had to run outside to retrieve the clothes I put on the clothesline (An actual clothesline, not the manuever). Damn it if I didn't drop the damned Zune on the concrete on the way out and now it's on a freezeframe of the last vid I was watching and the audio is screwy. I retrieved my clothes and ran them to the dryer and after realizing my other expectation of the day had failed, I had to go back outside and try to roll up my driver side window with the bad motor that conveniently stopped with a gap big enough to allow some fresh, heavy falling rain in. After a few minutes it went all the way up. In my aggravation, I just grabbed my cell phone (allready previously damaged on both screens from a bump at work and with a bad battery) and slammed it on the ground effectively ending my existing misery with that device too. Probably very petty and my fault for not having better protective gear or any for my devices, but I am supremely pissed right now at the prospect of up to $2,000 is electronics lost, not including what I need to fix my car door/window motor.

Kill yourself and your life insurance will cover your losses.

Life insurance pays out triple if you die on a business trip.

Everything that could go wrong is happening to you? I guess we should start calling you Murphy then.

I wonder if anyone will get the joke there.

Maybe you should go to a third world country and explain to them how bad your life is.
