1. I have to go to a BBQ with the BF at his boss’ house.
a) His boss doesn’t like me because I don’t just nod, I actually HAVE a personality and opinions.
b) I was only told this morning about it and I don’t have anything to bring. It’s just rude not to bring something to the host. My boss is letting me out early so I can go to the store and then go home for a tiny bit before I have to leave.
2. I have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear.
a) Dare I say that potato chips are having their revenge on me?
b) I haven’t ironed anything in at least a month.
c) It’s unseasonably cold and my warm things are so not in summer colors or styles.
3. My lunch was crap.
a) I forgot to go to lunch until 12:45.
b) I spent the time stressed out about work and the stupid BBQ.
c) The noodle dish I heated in the microwave smelled weird but tasted okay. I threw it away because the smell was revolting.
d) I made instant oatmeal instead but it got cold before I could eat it.
e) When I went to the fridge to get my diet coke it was GONE. WTF. DIET COKE THIEVES WILL GO TO A SPECIAL KIND OF HELL. THIS NEVER HAPPENED ONCE AT MY OLD OFFICE! I DIDN’T CONSIDER THAT FACT INTO MY PROS AND CONS LIST WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR THIS JOB. OMG. I NEED A DIET COKE. GIVE ME A DIET COKE.

Remember that episode of FRIENDS where phoebe writes threatening notes on Ross’ lunches so no one will steal them?
Sooooo glad I didn’t have to go to that BBQ! I know exactly what you mean about your BF’s boss.
I too spend far too much of my time stressing about work/commitments. I’m starting to get an eye twitch. No really, I am. We desperately need to commiserate.
