Uggh.

Here's my week from Sunday afternoon on...

1. Sunday 3pm. Brand new (2 weeks old) Makita Dual Slide compound miter saw takes to crapping out in the middle of a big redo of the front of my house.

2. Monday 9am. Get speeding ticket while coming out of Lincoln Tunnel..44 in a 25. $150 4pts.

3. Monday 3pm. Got laid off from work.

4. Tuesday 2pm. Saw that there is ANOTHER (that makes 2 now) Chestnut KR's in my hometown!!

5. Tuesday 5pm. Broke expensive piece of artwork while loading it in my truck after cleaning out my office.

Ok...here is the sick part....the only thing that bums me is #4.

You know...I returned the saw, I talked my Uncle into calling a favor to get me out of the ticket, I'll find another job, I can replace the frame from the broken print......but.....I can't tell the owner of this new truck to "please return it for another color".

And my days were going so well too!!

Still smilin though!

Thanks for letting me vent. Although I'm always a positive person...the last few have been a bit rough...this is life though, good with the bad. That's it....I'm done complaining bout it.

PS. Maybe when I see that new truck again...I'll leave the address for this forum on his windshield.
