One of those days...

ursangnomeWoke up, got out of bed, ran a comb, across my head...
Got to the bus on time, but, inexplicably, the bus horn got stuck on. We're driving along going *hhhoooooonnnnnnkkkkkk!* for a block and a half until the driver finds a place to pull over. He has to shut down the bus, start it up again, shut it down again, go out and unplug the bus battery and re-plug it a couple of times, get back in, restart bus, and start driving for another half-block before the horn inexplicably shuts off.
Got to work, stopping in the cafe to pick up a yogurt and a banana for breakfast, but yes, they had no bananas.
Got to my office, found my desk stuff shoved around, covered with plastic, and the ceiling tiles ripped out as workers are dealing with a water leak from upper floors. Only my cube, mind you, the rest of the office is fine.
Decided to go back down to the cafe, to get a cup of tea, and found a line of students out the door trying to get their pre-class caffeine. Couldn't really blame them, but was not willing to wait with them, so I settled for a bottle of Almost But Not Quite Entirely Unlike Tea*.
I'm waiting for a clown car to appear and disgorge a bunch of Nixon impersonators, or something equally absurd. *sigh*
*Diet Dr. Pepper qualifies for this moniker.
