Update on the week from hell

So to add to last week, I found out on Sunday that a giant economy-sized bottle of liquid laundry soap opened up in my trunk. I bought it a few day prior, and having no specific place for it, left it in the trunk where I thought it would be safe. Silly me. Luckily I had a sleeping bag in the trunk, so it soaked up most of the spill. Most. I’m afraid to look under the cover to see how much is sitting in a pool under my spare tire. I’ll wait for that little surprise when I can get a shop vac and clean the rest out. Oh, mom, if you’re reading this, the sleeping bag is probably in your washing machine still…

Then today (Monday) I got in to work late even though I was ahead of schedule and going to make it in early. I realized about 500 feet from work that I left my work laptop at home. After shouting an explicative, I turned around and went all the way back home and got to work 20 minutes late.

Watch out everyone… I think I’m bad luck…

Oh I hate those days or combination of days. There is nowhere to go but up right?

Hey...maybe it will make your car smell good?

Actually, I had a leather car freshener in the car, and the mix of fake leather smell and liquid laundry soap makes your car smell like very ripe bananas... I got rid fo the leather freshener and now most of the soap is out, so it does sorta smell like laundry...

Too bad laundry detergent isn't very cheap either...sorry for the bad rest of the week dude. Hopefully the rest of this week is better!

heehee... I'm sorry Garrett. I don't meant to laugh at your misfortune. It reminds me of one day when I worked at a used mattress store (as you can guess, it didn't make my resume) and it was right before I closed the store and this man who had some amount of paralysis on one side came in and wanted a king sized mattress tied to his car, and I was the only one there. In the process of wrangling this mattress it flopped on the ground, causing a big rush of air to blow something into my eye, so now I was staggering around, blind in one eye, tying a gigantic mattress to the top of a little tiny car all by myself because they guy couldn't help me. I laughed a lot that day to keep from crying.

Garrett! You are not the one I got the example of stalk vs. stock from! It was from a comment someone recently left on Bonny's blog (not you either:) Just wanted to make sure you didn't feel bad.
Hope this week is better for you.

Oh Garrett! I couldn't help laughing... thinking that laundry soap and fake leather air freshener made your car smell like bananas.

Remember when someone thought your name was Klard?
