Crappy week.
Monday, UNANNOUNCED construction on the 405 FWY. 2-1/2 hours to get to work. Later find out that it will most likely be going on the rest of the week. A couple of days later, they announced through the end of the month.
Tuesday, crack in the water main. Plumbers came out. $$$
Wednesday, 1 hour just to get to the FWY from my office which is 3 miles away. 45 min. to go the other 25 miles home.
Thursday, spoke with my daughter who has been a substitute rural carrier for a couple of years now, waiting on her own route. She had a second job as a contract carrier, but her boss did not renew his contract, so she lost that job. So for a few months now she's been down to one day a week, plus any fill in she can get. USPS just reassigned her to a different route and she went from one day a week guaranteed to once every two weeks. :madfacedevil: She is so responsible and such a hard worker, it breaks my heart.
Today, rear-ended by a tow truck on my way to work. The driver was a total dickhead on top of it all (no, not Ron).
If I survive the drive home, I'm buying a Lotto ticket. The law of averages says next week is gonna be awesome!
