So yesterday was a HORRIBLE day. I wrote an email to a friend, so I'll just copy and paste...

I had to go back to my client
I was ready to finish, but I had to wait around for an hour because the people I needed to work with were in a meeting
One of the objectives that I thought I had done wasn't, and even though I tried working with my development on it, we couldn't fix it - and the president told me NOT to leave there til I was finished with everything. But I left.
My website went down, and my blog database deleted
I left for my client at 6:30am, and didn't get home until about 11:15pm
There was no parking left near my apartment in my complex, so I had to park on the other side. I tried to take a shortcut through my complex, but just ended up getting lost.
I left my cell phone in my car.
To add to that, on the way to my car in downtown LA, I was talking on the phone to a friend. I saw a shadow move near me. For some reason, I thought, 'Awww, a squirrel!' Then to my horror, I realized it was a rat, and it was heading straight for me. I screamed. I panicked. He was going to attack. This was an LA rat. My first encounter with an LA rat! He attacked, pinned me to the ground, gave me a slap on the ass and took off with my altoids and my blockbuster card. OK. Fine. He didn't attack. He scurried in front of me for a bit as I screamed into the phone that I was getting attacked and then ran under a bush. But he DID give me a menacing glare. And I swear that his scurrying spelled out 'Christine, the dark lords have taken your blog database and it will never see the light of day!' Bastards.

But really, I'm in a down mood. More than just the death of the database. I'm just so tired from work, and not being home, and I'm even a little homesick. Talked to my family yesterday, and I'm missing them a lot. It's great to have Dave here as support and everything (though he fails to understand the horror of losing my database). I just miss both of my sisters and my parents, not to mention all my cousins. I kinda feel like I didn't even have much time to say goodbye to them! But that's just me getting all nostalgic. I'm just grumpy today. Hmph.
