Have you ever had a morning that you want to forget?
I had one today, this is how it panned out.

I woke up at 7.50am, very bad becaues I had a site meeting 30 minutes way at 8.30am.
I had slept in because my 4 year old grandson wouldn't go to sleep last night and kept me up.

I made the meeting and got yelled at by the owner and contractor.
Someone had stuffed up but it was all my fault.
I have had a crook back for over a week and this morning it was agony. I managed to get a 10.00am appointmernt with my physio.
Seems not too bad right.
As well I had a mega coffee headache because I had to rush and couldn't indulge my coffee habit.
I went and ordered coffee after I had paid the physio and when I went to pay I couldn't find my card.

So back to the physio, card not there.
I retrace all of my steps and can't find the card anywhere, I ask in all the shops I pass and no luck there either.

So I go back to the car to ring the bank, trouble is I can't ring the bank because I can't see the phone numbers because I have lost my glasses as well.
So I look everywhere for my glasses. No luck they are gone too.

I remember that I have a new card at home, 10 minutes away, so off home, get the card and activate it.
All is OK until they tell me that my cards are all cancelled.
Why, someone found my lost card, took it to the bank and the bank cancelled it. Seems that is standard practice.

OK, I ask "what about my wife's card"?
Oh don't worry sir, that is cancelled too because the accounts are linked.
This is very bad, because my wife is on the NSW South Coast at her aunts funeral, now she has no credit or cash ability.

Guess what, she goes to put fuel in the hire car and the card doesn't work.
I get a phone call and tell her the news.
Then I get blasted from here to next week because I am an idiot.

So now I am just finishing my half day at work, I had to take half a day without pay to sort all this shizzzz out, and I am meeting a mate for a beer or two dozen.
Looks like he is paying becsause I have got no money.

I hope tomorrow's better.

Well just finished a few free beers, Coronas with lime, served by what the PUP would call a "smoking hot chicky babe",

Feeling pretty good and seeing the funny side now, all good, marvellous the difference a few beers make.

ha et. i'm guessing your a bit like me and like to be organised and being in the building game too you generally have to be prepared for the worse case scenario's.

i've had my share of your day and have a lot of dreams were sh1t goes wrong and snow balling.

not being able to find my ski boots to fit my weird feet is one constant dream i've had over the years.

actually its probably some thing i should work on because that's self induced stress which i should avoid this days

my ski boots are hand luggage when flying

I really enjoyed that long read ET.
That's one hell of a frustrating morning.
What was that movie when Michael Douglas loses the plot in the traffic goes on a rampage ?

Hello Cobra, The Lord Hui, is the "God of Surf".

He is an Hawaiian deity. You may have heard the expression " come on Hui send some in", this is a popular Australia expression when waiting for a set.

Hey Jas, get stuffed.
