My terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad (well, not entirely) day

Yesterday (Thursday), sigh:

(1)I fell asleep after Ken left, woke up at 9:20, and sat at the computer eating my cereal-no-milk breakfast and reading my email as usual, till I realized I had to get my health insurance form into interoffice mail today. So, I quickly filled out the form, called Ken to get relevant info on his insurance, washed and dressed real fast, dropped off the form into interoffice mail at work.

(2)At that point it was 10 am and I realized I would be waaay too late for my dental appointment, scheduled for, yes, 10 am. So I pulled out my trusty cell phone, and rescheduled.

(3) This part went fine but was simply nonstop: I shopped for foodstuff for the library's anime club meeting that afternoon and for our kids' craft program next Tuesday, got to chiropractor just on time, had just enough lunchtime to eat very dietary-restriction-inappropriate pizza, shopped with a coworker for craft materials for abovementioned crafts, got to work, and checked my email and the stuff that landed on my desk that morning.

(4) Now it gets fun again. For about the fourth month in a row, I screwed up on trying to get the laptop and projector for the anime club meeting to talk to each called Ken who was working at home and came to help...

(5)and now it gets really bad. We didn't have the right cable, so we went to the break room and I pulled out the tall cart holding our DVD/VHS player and large TV in the break room so we could get out the DVD/VHS player and try that. The friggin' TV (huge, at least a 27 in. screen) fell off the cart and broke. Irreparable. If Ken weren't there I might have just run home and hidden under the covers and cried. But I had to go out there and host the club meeting and then have lunch and work on the desk till 9pm. Oh, and continue training my new page.

There is more...

(6)Ken did manage to get the DVD player to talk to the projector and left. Then I burned the popcorn for the club meeting, setting off the fire alarm. Yes we had to evacuate, yes, the firetruck came, and yes, one of the anime freaks fell and hurt her knee, resulting in her limping around with a badly scraped knee and me getting her antibiotic ointment and gauze pads and tape from the first-aid kit.

That was the end of the disasters, thank you God. We talked about club stuff, watched 2 good anime episodes (Negima and Moon Phase, in case you're interested), and all was well the rest of the evening, including the page training and cutting out and packaging tons of craft materials for Tuesday.

Public librarianship is a fascinating career. Much more, umm, adventurous than you thought, eh?
