Please Don't Take My Picture, It's Been a Bad Day

Ok, so I've used this title before but this time it REALLY works for what happened to me yesterday. Yesterday wasn't the greatest day for me. In the beginning of the day, nothing too big just happened, just minor annoyances. Take for example: I realized that instead of putting March on my time-off request sheet at Target, I put February. So instead of asking for the 14th-20th of March off, I had asked for the 14th-20th of February off...But I called Target and got things worked out and last night I found that I'm only working the 1 2th,13th, and 14th. The rest of the week is off!

Oh, it gets worse. And I'm just going to dive into it. Guess who left their roommate's expensive digital camera on the bus? Yeah, I did. I had borrowed her camera yesterday to take a picture of me and my group members. We're doing this presentation where we're pretending to take a road trip and we're going to Graceland. I was going to have Tyler do photoshop and cut out our heads and just other funny shit. So on the way home, I set the big camera bag on the seat next to me and start reading Harry Potter. When I get off, I just stand up and sling my bag around my shoulders and exit the bus. I don't even think twice about the camera. I mean, I never carry anything in my hands so when my hands weren't holding the camera, nothing felt strange. Ah, boy. It wasn't until like an hour later that I realized I didn't have the camera. I called up the Lost and Found but it hadn't been reported yet. At this point, I wasn't freaking out, nor did I ever freak out last night. Thing is, I just don't freak out in situations like this. Instead, I just laugh; I laugh at how funny the situation that I got myself into is. I just fucking laughed my ass off last night and I called my friends and was laughing; I called my mom and laughed about it. I mean, I didn't feel it the end of the world; I can always just buy another camera. The one thing I DID worry about though was calling Emily. She REALLY freaks out about shit and I wasn't looking forward to telling her about it. So, I call her up and tell her, "Something really bad has happened." Those are the first words out of my mouth. (I'm really good at setting people up for news.) Emily screams out, "What happened?!" So I told her I left her camera on the bus and she just yells at me, "I. Am. Going. To. KILL YOU!" Oh yeah, I just love being threatened. So then Emily started to cry as she went over what she lost and she was asking, "How could I do this to her." Well, you know, I really DID mean to leave it on the bus, especially knowing how much it'd cost me to replace it.

Things are better now though. They got better a lot quicker than I thought they would actually. I thought Emily would hate me for weeks, but it was only during the phone call. She came home and was in a better mood. I called the Lost and Found place today but it still hasn't turned up. As Emily said, "Someone has a really nice present now." Yeah, no shit. We're going to go onto E-Bay and try and find a nice priced camera which I will pay for with my birthday money.

Happy Fucking Birthday Liz, you stupid Fuck Nut.
