Vanity, thy name is...
I was having an "I Hate Everything In My Closet" morning, so ended up as Punk Rock Girl as seems to happen on those days. (I'm getting more mileage out of this $12 dress...) So, no biggie, except that in the midst of my fashion angst (and comments from the peanut gallery) I forgot to take all the stuff out of my jeans pockets from yesterday. No shit, there I was, on the train with no money, no wallet, no train pass, and no subway card. "Ooops." Icing on the cake: it wasn't the usual conductor--he did accept my explanation but I'm pretty sure that was on account of the cleavage; I got a very clear "you are full of it" vibe. So the train was okay, but I still had no way to make the rest of the journey in.
Therefore, got to sit on my ass in Hoboken for an hour waiting for Beth to bring me my entire life in a ziploc bag, upon which I could proceed to work (whereupon the moron rays affecting our fair city proved to still be active; _gaaah_).
Of course, even without this entertaining interlude, I was going to have to hike up to FIT during lunch (ha! what lunch, now?) to pick up a book Beth forgot to bring over last night. Again, not a problem, except I am wearing the Nifty Clogs of Extreme Pain.
It occurs to me I could have run this day somewhat better.
In the silver lining department, I ran into Michael-from-Moonbase outside the office. It turns out he works in the building next door! Who knew?
