My First Day of 2009

So 2009 begins....
As always I try to take the first day of the year as kind of a clean slate... start things over new... a fresh beginning...

Well that didn't go quite as planned, I started the new year out by over sleeping and coming a gnats ass from being late for work! I work till 11 every night, and am home about midnight, stay up till about 3 then wake up usually 10 or 11 and then be back in work at 2, but even though I didn't really drink for New Years Eve I managed to sleep till 1:10 pm! Woke up pissed off, threw myself in the shower, had a shot of coffee and headed off to work.... half asleep. I had one cigarette on the way, usually by the time I get to work Ive had a good 5 so I can work through 2 hrs before my break, but this time only one. We had a loooooooong boring meeting about the plans for the training center in the upcoming year. It went 3.5 hours before anyone called a break. By then I was about to start beating people :|
We were told, that even though theres this "big recession" going on, my company managed to be 20% above profit over prior year.... big shocker...the bad economy is mostly people just not wanting to spend oodles of money for things that arent worth it... and a large part the fault of the media talking about it non stop... but, alas thats a whole other rant, which Im sure I'll post soon hehe

Finally, after what felt like a week long meeting... 11 pm came and I got to go home. Just as Im about to open my car door.... I slide one something and end up slamming face first into a concrete car stopper. NOT a good feeling at all. I was sure I was bleeding all over, fortunately I wasn't though I got a huge scrape on my face from it. What the hell did I fall on? It wasn't cold enough for there to be ice really... BUT it was cold enough to not melt the ice that someone dumped out of their soda cup, right by my car grrrrrrrrrr! I banged my knee on the pavement also and hurt my arm when I landed... HAPPY FREAKIN NEW YEAR RICH!!!

So, Im hoping all the superstitions about things we do on New Years is just wrong. I've had enough shitty years, I think Im about due for a good one.
