This day better not get any worse or I’m gonna hurt someone!

Today was supposed to be great: I wasn’t in a rush to get in to work because I’m quite on top of things at the moment and I was taking the train in. Andrew was working from home so he would be available when the Sky Plus special heights team would come install our Sky satellite dish. That meant on Sunday I could watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding and pause it whenever I want!

But no. With my luck, it had to happen otherwise. My stupid annoying Bubble Bobble ringtone wakes me up at 7:45am (Ok fine it’s not early for you, but it’s early for me!) and it was the Sky Plus engineer calling to say he’d be over between 9am and 12oclock. Ah good, at least it’s good news!

I leave to catch my train, grumbling because it started raining the minute I opened the door. Stupid bloody shitty british weather *mumbles* Start walking to the train station, and well well, who calls… It’s the Sky engineer. I turn around, still within eye-shot of home, and his van looks nothing like a special heights team van. It’s a normal white van with very averagely sized ladders. I shrug and keep walking towards the station, my trousers picking up more and more of the rain that’s falling horizontally by now, thanks to the wind.

Get to the station, buy ticket, run across the road so I don’t miss the train. Andrew calls and confirms the engineer didn’t have the heights team equipment at all! Typical Sky, they send a normal engineer, hoping he can botch the job and install it anyways, and if it’s clear a heights team is needed, they resend the right team later on.

So now, I’m at work, my socks are wet, I’m grumpy, but the sun sure as hell has come back out. Just to nag me a bit more!

I need my weekend already… and a gym pass so I can go pass my frustration there!
