Well, I am certainly glad that today is over. It was one of those days where everything goes wrong. No good reason, for some reason, the cosmic cards simply aligned against me for this day. What I realized was that it was the small things that really agitated me the most. Every business venture I have had some measure of problems today, and this frustrated me, but it wasn't what really pushed me over the edge. As I became agitated with my never-ending phone calls of doom, I thought I would get some catch-up done, so I went online- or at least I tried. My Internet provider was doing maintenance... again. Seeking refuge, I decided to play a game, but the controller refused to work despite my best attempts to fix it. Turned instead to my trusty DVDs. I still had 3 West Wing episodes to watch in season 2. Wouldn't you know it? There was a disc error that my Playstation just couldn't get past. Now in the grand scheme of things, these were just minor annoyances, but they were more than I wanted to deal with on a day like today (of course, they were part of the reason the day seemed so doomed).
It's funny how things work like that. The major issues can affect you so much less than the small irritations. It is like pain. Most people who have been in a serious accident, or felt real pain will tell you that for some reason it didn't seem to hurt all that much. Now those paper cuts? Excruciating. Maybe our brain just shuts off a certain amount of response to make things more manageable. Oh well.
I am sure that I should probably write something more, but ya know, I am just not feeling it tonight. Perhaps tomorrow. Till then...
