im mad. very mad. someone broke into my car last night. they punched out a small window on the passenger side. they stole my wife's camera (which for some reason was in the glove compartment) that was worth over 400 bucks. ive told her over and over not to keep anything of value in that car but she decided she liked taking pictures on her lunch break at work. the window cost 250 bucks to replace- ironically the exact amount of my insurance deductible. that wouldn't be so bad, but when i was leaving the glass repair shop i decided to compare their work to the driver's side window and lo and behold i see the criminal decided to pry at that window too, only he was unsuccessful in removing it completely. its slightly warped out of place and probably will need at least 100 bucks worth of repairs to keep it from leaking. did i mention there was a torrential downpour last night and the thief left our trunk open? the entire trunk, and all inside the car under the broken window is soaked with water. my wife had left a stack of art prints in the trunk and they are ruined now.
to top it all off, i was attacked by a bird walking from the glass repair shop to work this morning. this scraggly little brown bird swooped down from a tree and pecked me on the head twice. when i turned around laughing at it, down it came again clawing at my back. altogether, it pecked or clawed me on 3 separate swoops. it kind of hurt but i couldn't stop laughing at it while it was squaking at me. all this is taking place on a major street and i see people stopped in traffic pointing and laughing about it. im glad i provided entertainment for them. i noticed there was a nest in the tree i walked under but i think the bird was taking defending it a little too seriously.
what a crappy day! and i still have 12 hours left. can it get worse? God i hope not.

It always happens in threes, man, it all happens in threes. so I guess the rest of the day should be okay then.

Ever hear that expression "Just one of those days"? Dude, sounds like this one is yours.
We all have them, but usually just a little at a time. You're lucky, get it all out at once. And entertained a few folks to boot!
Well done and keep smiling!
(and keep a tennis racket with you in case that bird knows where you live...)

.. thanks God that its safe here in Utah ... sometimes we leave the car open while we are shopping or out of the car but thanks to God nothing happens .. everything is just the way it is till we get back tothe car ..
sometimes animals react weird ... hmmm ... yeah maybe she was defending her babies ... once when I was sitting in our garden in Kuwait .. I saw a bird doing the samething to a cat .. I asked my dad about it .. he said that the day before that cat ate the female of that bird ... Poor bird and poor cat .. it was so funny .. but sad too ..

Think your day was bad... Here this should make u feel better
This is a letter written to his sister
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit.
This time of year the water is quite cool. So here's what we do to keep warm: We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temp. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a damn good plan, doesn't it? I've used it several times with no complaints.
When I get to the bottom and start working, what I do is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my neck and flood my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until my ass started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my itchy ass started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done.
In agony I realized what had happened. The hot-water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. This is even worse than poison ivy under a cast. I had put that hose down my back, but I don't have any hair on my back, so the jellyfish couldn't get stuck to my back. My ass crack was not as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my ass. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communications system. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he and 5 other divers were laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make 3 hellish in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface for my chamber dry decompression. I got to the surface wearing nothing but my brass helmet. My suit and gear were tied to the bell. When I got on board, the medic, with tears of laughter streaming down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to coat my ass when I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't sh** for two days because my asshole was swollen shut.
We've since modified the equipment to filter out most sea creatures.
Anyway, the next time you have a bad day at the office, think of me. Think about how much worse your day would be if you were to squash a jellyfish on your ass. I hope you have no bad days at the office. But if you do, I hope this will make it more tolerable.
I see u feel better already
