Yesterday - Friday the 13th - the beginning

Was quite a bit of an experience.

So, of course, I wake up late due to my late night shenanigans of doing absolutely nothing productive and making my poor infected thumb worse by playing a bit more on the PSP. darn that Kratos and the Hades' challenges!

Check the phone as usual...being a nightowl, I tend to miss all those morning people calls, texts, and whatnot. My brother called. Three times. Now, I never hear from my brother, but he's in Austin and I got a discounted room for him there. He's on some sort of party weekend with this motorcycle buddies. *sigh* Didn't feel like calling him just quite yet and I did have to start getting ready for work.

Showered, read the usual "AM" blog reads and got ready for work. Took off at 20 till and figured I'd be pushing the envelope with my work punctuality. Never good. But, I remembered that I had to make a deposit at the secondary bank. ugh!

Dropped by the local Valero to pull out some cash. No luck, system down. Grrr!  Tried getting a new mocha rockstar drink and...waiting....waiting....waiting. Apparently, it was somehow centered on their phone system so both the ATM and all CC transactions were taking a long-ass time! double grr!

Figured I'd head out to the secondary bank, take the hit for the ATM fee and make the deposit from there. No luck, again. They have two outdoor ATM's. One was being serviced and the other didn't like my card. Went inside and while I was there apparently, there was trouble. Needless to say, it was an adventure. Someone decides to die while I'm running late for work. The parking lot gets swamped with cops and an ambulance. I figure the guy must not have made it. Never a good sign when the ambulance DOESN'T leave. So, I weasel my way out after being unable to do anything as there is no indoor ATM and they can't access my other account on the premise that I have a VISA vs. a MC card.

patience, patience!

So, I text Xia and Luis to let them know I'm running late. Xia calls me back and she too is on her way to work. We're chatting along and I come upon an accident scene on the major turn to work. Yea highway of death!

this is so not my day.
