(in ascending order of suck)
1. My iPod ran out of battery power two hours into the lengthy drive back to Colorado that started Monday after work and ended late Tuesday. When I stopped for the night, I went to plug the player in and recharge it. No dice. Nothing will turn on. The screen remains blank and the thing just stares at me. Utah is really boring without a playlist.
2. If I was writing this bullet point in an article, the second paragraph would be something like this: "Sources within the organization are saying that a meeting in Baltimore next week could determine whether the company is salvageable, after a fall season that saw a drop in sales of nearly 50 percent."
3. I got all dressed up to go see the new Bond movie (bowtie included), and then got to the restaurant and couldn't find anyone. Texted the hostess. No response. Drove back home.
4. After a long night out, got in a new friend's car to head back to my apartment. Moments after pulling onto Venice Blvd., we were CRUSHED by a drunk driver. The car (again, NOT MINE) was totalled. Impact was on our driver-rear side, so both of us walked away. A half-second in one direction, and the driver could have been killed.
So, I am thankful that I am alive, that my heart can be broken, that even the unemployed in America live okay (in a worldly-comparison kind of way) and that Utah is only a 360-or-so mile drive.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
