Only One Bad Day a Year

But man will it fuck with you.
Yesterday started out really good. I got to sleep in and I also got laid.
Naturally, it only got worse from there.
After I drop off old girl, I start driving to work. I get about 500 feet away from work(coincidentally also about 500 feet away from the jail), when my car shakes a bit and the back end drops down with a screech. I look around and there goes my wheel, still traveling at about 30 mph, toward a guy who just pulled into the intersection. The wheel hits the curb and bounces about 20 feet up in the air. whew! maybe it'll just fly over him....NO its gonna land on his hood!!!
It doesn't, it lands and bounces up to hit his fender, leaving a dent. I get out thinking im totally screwed.
The guy looks at me and shakes his head with a huge smile on his face and says, "don't worry about it, your WHEEL just fell off."
So I collect the wheel and look at it. The only thing left on the car is the brakes and rotars and the axle. The thing that the lug nuts attach to? No. It's still attached to the rim, which is in my hands.
Several people I work with saw me sitting there and the mechanic dude who'se really a manager comes up and tells me i need a wrecker.
Fine, I call Fast Enough Performance and tell them i need a tow.
Two cops come by and i tell them everythings ok, ive got a tow truck coming, and they drive off. One finally runs my plates and walks over to me, shootin' the shit.
"Did you know you've got two warrants out for your arrest?"
"No."
"Did you know your license is suspended?"
"No."
"Is there anything else i can tell you to ruin your day?"
"No."
So my Overlord Boss comes out and asks me if i need a ride anywhere, to which the Cop replies, "Naw, we'll give him a ride."
So I go to jail.
I spend 6 hours in jail, hoping that they will 10 % my bond from $1000. Doesn't happen. Then I call the overlord boss and tell him im probably not making it back to work today, and maybe not monday either, to which he asks about and subsequently posts my bond.
I walk outside the jail and yell out, "They can take our land, they can take our lives, but they can't keep us in jail. FREEDOM!!!!"
An hour of sitting around outside the jail later, alex shows up.

So I call Larkin and tell her this story. She laughs at me, and says she'll give me a call when she's finished drinking at pazzo's with her work friends.

So Alex, Trey and I go to arby's to eat, then meet Austin at Lynagh's pub, where Larkin is sitting with her ex-boyfriend. She smiled at me and stuff, but they were gone shortly after that.
So far I have been able to see the humor in all of this, and it's still not been a horrible day.
Not any more. I don't know what it was about seeing her with him again, and leaving with him that ruined the humor of the day.
I'm still not sure she's not still dating him.
So i finished my drink, called Sara to wish her a happy birthday, but only got a voicemail, came home and started laughing with Alex Austin and Trey. finally, the thought of Larkin still dating Josh creeps in and insinuates itself in my brain, bringing with it the fact that Sara doesn't really want to talk to me anymore.

So all in all, until the part where I find out the girl I'm fucking still has a boyfriend who's company she prefers, I had a decent day. Learning that you're just a peice of Fuck Meat may sound good to some people, but to me, there's really nothing worse.

Overall though, I'm damn glad I only have one bad day a year.
