My day ... so far

4:45 a.m. - Wakes up. Looks at my phone. No missed calls. No text messages. Goes back to bed.
5:15 a.m. - Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:30 a.m. - Cell phone alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:45 a.m. - Cell phone and regular alarms go off. I wake up. Shower.
6:30 a.m. - Am ready to go to catch the 6:47 a.m. train. Can't find my keys.
6:40 a.m. - Panicking because I can't find my keys.
6:41 a.m. - Rita calls. Almost in tears because I can tell it's going to be a bad day.
6:46 a.m. - Finds keys (behind a box). Misses train.
6:50 a.m. - Goes to Starbucks. Orders my triple caramel macchiatto.
6:59 a.m. - Gets to train station. Ready to catch the 7:07 a.m. train. The money machine won't take my $5 bill. Decides to drive (doesn't want a parking ticket.)
7:07 a.m. - Hears the train while filling up w/ gas. Goes to Burger King despite my promise to avoid fast food.
7:15 a.m. - Begins to sit in traffic while listening to Harry Potter.
7:40 a.m. - Stops listening to Harry Potter to listen to Coldplay. "Fix You" really worked well this morning.
8:15 a.m. - Gets to work. Parks behind paramedics. They are playing HackeySack. I figure, "Hey, it's OK to park here."
10:15 a.m. - Goes to put more money in the meter. Finds out it was street cleaning day. $45 ticket.
10:30 a.m. - Realizes the day can't get worse. Settles in a fine melancholy mood. Ready to move on.
