Bad Day

Where is the moment when needed the most....

Started out as one of those days where I just didn't want to get out of bed and I stayed on it till the very last minute before I dragged myself into the bathroom.

Kick up the leaves and the magic is lost.....

Went to meet my mom for breakfast and she decided to order for me, but ended up missing something in my order which made it harder to eat as fast as I wanted. Almost ended up late to work again but good thing I had a driver who thinks he's a racer. Plus he charged me less than what was stated on the meter - weird bugger.

You tell me your blue skies fade to grey....

Had to work fast because of a sudden crowd and it decided to rain, which meant we had to work faster to get the chairs and menus into shade before they all get wet. All of which leaves me with a soaking wet sleeve and a damp uniform to work in for the rest of the day.

You tell me your passion's gone away....

Was asked to slice the gherkins and I nearly sliced off my finger. Thank goodness for fast reactions, tough nails and rather blunt knives. Furthermore, as I was clearing a table, the container of sauce decided to roll off the plate, spill over the side of the table, drip onto my apron, drop on my shoe and mess up the floor. Another thing was the stupid salad that has to sit in a fried tortilla bowl that wobbles on the plate, and one decided to fall asleep on me, and topple over just as I was about to put it down on the table. More spillage!

And I don't need no carrying on...

My shoe's sole partially gave way. It was squeaking the whole morning and finally when I went on the run to deliver some coffee, it started flapping, irritating me on every step. Then at the point where I was waiting for the escalator to get me to the next level, I used my other foot to help me get rid of the irritating flap, leaving me with half a sole on my right shoe.

Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out wrong...

Final blow was when I bent down to get a piece of lime for some idiot's Corona and forgot to pull my pants up which caused the seams at the thigh to rip apart. It felt much cooler under my apron but the question was how I would be going home, or actually going out for dinner, with my pants ripped?

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
