Can it get worse? Don't answer.

OMG, can my day suck harder?

(It can, but right now it's sucking pretty badly.)

ETA: I tempted fate.

A small child just SPIKED a globe. It split into four pieces. Mom was sitting right outside the store just watching. I ran up, picked up the pieces, turned around...and mom's taking off down the mall with the child. I could tell it wasn't broken (thankfully), because I almost took off after her just because. (I did get one store down before realizing that leaving the store unattended when nothing was broken wasn't a good idea.)

1. Slept till 11, which resulted in a mild headache upon waking.

2. Ran to McDonald's to get lunch (as I had no food in the apartment that was quick or involved caffeine). McDonald's gives me the wrong order. I figure this out on the sandwich. Didn't know they'd given me Sprite until I got home.

3. Got a call from my mother at 3:03 asking where I was. Turns out my work hours were 3-9, not 5-9.

4. Hit every red light en route to work. (Was 40 minutes late due to having to dry my hair.)

5. And to cap it off, I just got my period. With no tampons in my purse. And I'm here alone.

So in being awake for 7 hours my day has sucked. Two good things happened, but I'm guessing karma had to really, really balance them out with some bad.

(Two good things: Used coupons at the grocery store and saved $8. The thing is, I'd only bought $24 worth of stuff. So I paid $16. And the other was that Biffle was on Trackside last night, so I got video of Biffle saying something inadvertantly dirty and Elliott laughing uncontrollably over it.)

I need chocolate. Watch the vending machine take my money.

Now this is the NASCAR drama we need before the season ends.

The reports differ slightly between NASCAR.com and Foxsports.com, but there was a credential issue and the motorhome lot. (The discrepency is whether it was Kandy's credential that wasn't present or Kale's credential.) A guard got knocked down.

And most importantly, Kandy got handcuffed.

(Really, I may be sadistic, but ANY NASCAR driver getting handcuffed in any kind of manner cracks me up.)

The PR rep for Kandy seemed to emphasize that Kandy was in uniform. I'd like to point out a possible scenario in which that would be null and void.

1. Take one security guard that was hired for the weekend who is older than dirt and needs money for his meds and doesn't necessarily know who the drivers are. (This is southern Florida after all.)

2. Add in the fact that NASCAR drivers auction off their driver suits for charity every once in a while.

3. Give it a splash of the potential for an overzealous fan who really wants to see her driver.

Voila! Instant recipe for Kandy accidentally looking like a pompous and mean ass.

(I would like to point out that Jeff Gordon had to move from Lake Norman because fans would park their boats at his dock and walk up to stare in his windows. NASCAR fans have some boundary issues.)
