or does it?

i never really excelled at pessimism


or so i thought...

Monday AM approx. 7:54 AM


with a deep exhalation
and a minor curse
my big bag hit the floor
and the search party begins

god damn swipe card

i mutter
as i dig around
a deep abyss of useless papers
sticky notes
note books
(i have an affinity for lists)
a wallet
a cell phone
3 kinds of lip gloss
(even i question if all these
lip glosses are necessary)
and alas
i come to the conclusion that
i have left my swipey card at home

without this stupidly small piece of plastic
i cannot get into work
so i wait
and as i wait
i rampage

stupid card
stupid door
stupid beige walls
stupid grey floor
stupid beige and grey
i hate beige and grey
stupid scent free policy
stupid waking up early
stupid full time job
stupid!

surprisingly
this summers task is
working on expressing gratitude

it is still a work in progress

but i thank ganesh that
at least
i am aware of my downfall

i also thank ganesh
for the patient and kind ear that was willing
to hear my morning time temper tantrum

kudo's to etsy for the perfectly cheery picture to compliment my deep dark post.
