So let's hear your "Bad Day" story :p
Cut an unseen drywall screw in half and take out a brand new $35 bandsaw blade:(
You know it's going to be a bad day - and that you are getting old - when you look in the mirror first thing in the morning and think, "Oh man, that can't be right!"
rs,
Tack
you know I was having a bad day but when you told how yours started today glen I,m not so bad thanks like I said keep that superglue handy ! tc
You know it's going to be bad day when you oversleep, get dressed in the dark realize something just doesn't feel right but you have no time to address the issue so you slam down a cup of coffee and head off to work. Nature calls and once at the urinal doing the dance I realized I put my boxers on backwards. :gaah:
You are told there will be a "brief" faculty meeting after school ( no such thing!).
You know it's going to be a bad day when your girlfriend works at the same station as you do & calls in sick that night,,,your supervisor sends you to check on her(she's not answering her cell) & your best friend's car is parked next to her's. :(
You know it's going to be a bad day when:
You walk into work and just as you and everyone else approach the time clock, you hear a manager yelling at everyone "Nobody clock in yet! Nobody clock in yet!"
I was the first of the group to get laid off that day...
Or later in the day you realize you have on one black shoe and one brown shoe.Quote:

Does that mean you had to take a leak like your life depended on it? :)Quote:

When the NTSB knows you by name, and tells you: " if you will get your dogs in the house and and unlock your back gate the Coroner and the Hazmat team will clean up your back yard and the side of your house"...
Dang some deep and dark "Bad Days" going on out there :(
Mine for today
Waking up in the morning to 8 inches of snow falling on cedars (yes that was a reference to the movie) and by the time you get a cup of coffee, the Tractor warmed up, and the Snow Blower hooked on, that pretty snow changed to rain and now you have Wet Slushy White Cement to get off the mile of road... Oh Yea !!! Oh Joy !!! Oh Rapture !!!! as my lovely bride says hehehehe
You know when your having a bad day when....you can't find a picture of Glenn's finger in the 'Cut of the day' thread. Say it ain't so. If your goinna injure yourself, it needs to be a Monday so you have time to heal for the weekend. Nice thread.
You wolf down your coffee and upon leaving the house you note out of the corner of your eye a huge crack in your French press. Then upon closer inspection, you note not only the crack, but a couple of small chips on the lip as well.
Did I just wolf down shards of glass? I'm sure I'll know soon enough lol.
The only problem with this thread is, I feel bad if I hit the "Like" button There are some dark days here for sure.
LOL yeah John I was hesitant too, then I decided I was going to hit the like in appreciation that they shared a story :shrug:
Is okay John, do not feel bad,but do feel bad about my brand new Timber wolf bandsaw blade,I am just sick about it,worse than my first divorce:(Quote:

You know it's going to be a bad day when the razor you so carefully honed and were pleased with arrives at the owner's home and he's not happy with it!:gaah:
You know it's gonna be a bad day when you can hear water running & there are no leaky taps. It gets worse when you discover it's a hot water leak. The plumber can come & fix it but when he starts digging up the backyard to find it he gives up & calls the leak detector guy that charges like a wounded bull but he can't come till Monday & it's Friday. Eventually he finds the leak but the plumber can't fix it cheaply because it's buried under the storm water pipe , the cold water pipe & the sewrage pipe so you tell the plumber to just cut the pipe off at the source. Now why didn't I think of that before. So now the hot water tank has full pressure once more & next day blows up flooding the laundry. Thankfully it gets replaced with no dramas until the water & electricty bills arrive & have tripled in cost due to the previously undetected leak that's lost you 76 K/litres in addition to your normally used 21K/litres.
That bad day ran too long.
Thanks to everyone for putting my day in perspective and making it wonderful!
One would think that finding that everyone else's day was worse than your own would be comforting but it's actually a bit depressing. We are a sorry lot!

You know it's going to be a bad day when the promotion you are going for and the job you have been doing for the last year goes to someone less qualified who has NO CLUE what they are doing....
You know its going to be a bad day when you get caught at a train crossing by a train on the way to work and catch seemingly every red light then finally get to work late only to reallize its your only day off of the week...
You know it's going to be a bad day when both your kids have been up all night with gastro and when you wake up in the morning to the sound of your wife bent over the toilet saying goodbye to the last meal she ate
When you go to the basement and you see water at the top of the deck drain and your sump pump is shorted out. Hand bailing since 10 PM last night.
Wow I wouldn't by a lottery ticket with any of us . ;)
You know it's going to be a bad day (read: today) when the first conversation you have with your boss is that the raise and promotion you were promised 6 months ago isn't going to happen until at least the end of this year, and the work that you're doing is good, but not good enough, even though you've done in 6 months what it's taken the other locations in the country 18 months to accomplish.
Needless to say, I dropped off a résumé or two on the way home today.
Oh come on mate! We're not all that sorry of a lot! Besides my bad day ended alright! The guy didn't realize that a heavy grind 'felt' very different from the full hollow that he'd been using! After trying again he's come to like it!Quote:

Yeah, at least after my bad day, one place I dropped a résumé seemed REALLY interested, and didn't seem concerned with my salary requirements listed. Oh, and my born-and-bred-in-Dublin Thomas Read straight razor was waiting on me when I got home. :)Quote:

Seriously; if you do find better employment then good for you! :tu
Haha! Doggone auto correct...
I was in your position once and it seemed at the time like the worst day. It was the kick in the rear I needed and ended up in at least the top 5 best days!Quote:

Kind of a menial job, but it made me feel like I am marketable to a prospective employer... something I haven't felt in about 3 years.
Like Shaun said... It's the thrill of the hunt!Quote:
