Wrong side of the bed

Have you ever woken up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed. No matter what you do or what happens its just bad...well that was me this morning. I got up to a freezing cold apartment, cold floor, cold bathroom tiles, just cold. Brrrrrrr. Then after I got ready and out the door the subway had this ridiculous line just to get in off the street. It was like we were a herd of cattle...yuck! And people were pushing and shoving (which is typical New York), but I was fed up. Then I wait in this enormous line to get a new MetroCard, only to find out when I get to the machine that the ATM/Credit Card slot is not working. So I have no cash and have to go to CVS to get cashback...on the way out people were not getting out of my way on the stairs (read: one me going up, hundreds of others coming down), so I just stormed up anyway....BAH! So I get the cash and return to another long line, then finally get on the subway, with just enough time to realize how much I truly miss the Midwest and am considering applying to jobs there while home for the holidays. I miss the snow, the nice-ness, the cars, my mom and dad, the easy steady pace of life and its evolution (singleness, career, marriage, kids, and friends throughout). There are the downsides, like less crazy stuff going on than NYC, but I don't think I would mind that as long as my friends got together.

Anyway, I just needed to vent and rant all at once. It's been a rough morning already and it's only 10am. I'm ready for next Thursday (half day then one week vacation). So ready to be home for the holidays.
