Cranky Day


CopperPhoenix

507 views

I'm Skye, one of Copper's Insiders (or alts, if you insist). I know the rules and do my best to follow 'em. Blog time.

Looks like another poetry post. Let me tell y'all, this has been a day.

All day,

Over and over and over

Like dominos

(Never ask "what else could go wrong"; it tempts the Universe to show you!)

A missing bus,

Not missed, but missing

I was on time, early, even

So where is the blasted bus?

Places to go, people to be...missing bus or not

I had work to do

So I walked

And walked

And walked

Halfway to downtown, I walked.

Three times I stood halfway between this bus stop and the next

Only to see the bus blaze by

So I walked

And walked

And swore...

'Till a kind driver waited at a stoplight for me to catch up.

I got where I needed to be

Late, but I got there

Trying not to glare

It is not nice to take potshots at people just 'cause I'm cranky

(even though it can be fun)

Even art class was tainted by the off-ness of this day

Not every piece has to be a masterpiece...

But today's work stunk.

If it hadn't still been wet I would have shredded it on the spot

As it is, I doubt this one will ever see the light of day

Stuff it in a file for future reference...

Or maybe just toss it.

The line for lunch was long

And I'd spent my money on an emergency snack downtown

(It was that or faint, and I'm not fond of fainting)

So had to borrow a buck

And force down a plateful of food

Remembering that it is not nice to snap at innocent bystanders

As I dreamed of ways to make people shut up

Days like this I'm not very nice.

Afternoon meeting

Chaos

I ground my teeth

Gnawed my fingers

Clawed my own arms

As I counted as high as I could go

Resisting the urge to stand up and scream

"Would you all please shut the holy fucking hell up!!!!!"

Aw ((((((Skye)))))) hugs if ok. I'm sorry you had such a bad day. Those irritable moments are so hard to get through and you described it so accurately. Too many times, my teen part wants to be snarky with the 'stupid people'. Not like I disagree but I don't like attention drawn to me if I end up saying something.

I, too, feel like screaming the same thing sometimes.

Sitting with you and hope you feel better today.

Thank you, Fallen. We have worked very hard to create an image (or better yet, be) the kind of person who is level-headed, seldom swears, is the kind of leader people follow out of love and respect. Screaming profanities at random people is not exactly in line with the image we are shooting for!

Today is better, if nothing else because it's a day off.

Thanks so much for your comment. It's nice to know people choose to read what I have to say :)
