Foul Foul Day
Too lazy to re-type all this out 
so I just copied and pasted from an email I sent earlier:
Why today was a foul day:
1) I am fucking busy because of the stupid results season.
2) I spent half the weekend working.
3) I spent 2 hours of my life on some stupid letter for the stupid softball association last night and because I don't have East Asian languages installed on my home computer it took forever.
4) Since the stationery for the stupid softball letter is in the office I had to email the completed document to myself and print it out today.
5) Only I stupidly sent myself the .pdf file instead of the word file.
6) Then to discover that even if I had sent myself the word file I could not have printed it in the office because I also don't have East Asian languages installed on the work computer.
7) I had to hand write the letter, at least the parts that were in Mandarin.
8) I have 9 models to update, 6 notes to write and 4 days to finish everything.
9) My fucking computer keeps hanging on me (I think it's Excel) and I don't have time to spend an hour on the phone with the help desk while they try to figure out what the hell is wrong with it.
10) The Bloomberg add-in refused to work today for about an hour.
11) On top of that I had to take the stupid minutes for a stupid call which I have been doing for the past 4.5 years and you would think that once they got in some more employees they would at least rotate the job but NO...
12) Some stupid person decided to stay in a hotel that's 9 miles away from the convention center in LA and booked me in as well so now I have to change the bookings.
13) Did I mention it was results season???
14) When I finally left the office at 7pm, having decided not to take my computer home and give myself a break, I left my car keys in the office. So I traipsed back to the office only to find that since it's past 7pm the elevators have been locked down. AND since I have no elevator access card because a long time ago, some visitors to the office kept losing the cards and someone was too cheapskate to order more cards (damnit those things cost 20 bucks!!!), I had to go up to the 16th floor, go to the service elevator, go down to the 14th floor, all the while praying and hoping that the door to the 14th floor was not locked, and finally let myself into the office to get my car keys.
15) On the way home a bird crapped on my car.
