When you get called into HRs office so you can have a "talk" with the head of HR and your boss. Get yelled at and called incompetent because you made an honest mistake that would take 2 mins to fix but apparently cost the company too much time and money.
2 hours later you get a call from the VP of the company informing you those 100 copies of brochures you printed and then over nighted a few days before to the show over 5 hours away had "to be updated once layout approved" in huge read letters across the first page. On every copy. Was then informed they had to be fixed, reprinted and ready to ship in 30 mins.
Leaving work that day (a Friday) wondering if you would still have a job that coming Monday.
That was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how crappy the last few months of my professional life has been. *sigh*
Good news is, I still have a job.
(I hope you dont mind me jumping in here, I'm new but I still have crappy days)

tstompson : OUCH! Well at least they cared enough about your feelings not to make a reality show on it!
Dionythicus : Yeah, my cats haven't died yet but I'm beginning to realize that I should've staggered the ages!

Feel free to add Dusty!
Here's another: Friend is helping me out but didn't tell me that he couldn't take me home today from his warehouse. Bus it is. Two hours on the bus when a car ride would take 15 minutes. Then an additional hour walk. I wouldn't mind so much if he had told me so I could have brought a heavier jacket!

Ooh! I have some more!
Knowing my sister put 3 male mice with 2 female mice in the same cage together. And won't listen to a word I say. -I know everyone has something similar to this.-
Hearing my sister complain about money when she spends it all.
People saying I have a lot of animals. Well at least they are cared for very well.
-sorry had to get that out.-

When you're considering bashing a rat upside the head because she won't stop attacking every other rat and your hand but also produced a larger first litter.

Have you tried sleeping elevated? Just an idea.

... How does that even happen? XD
I got more!
When you end up having to work an extra day you forgot about right after having sold a bird you were very attached to at work to a man who crammed his hands into the cage and TERRIFIED him. A man with rotten teeth who looked like a crack head. We should NOT have sold that bird to him. I didn't even get to drill him about parrot care... I have no idea if he knows anything about nutrition, enrichment, socialization, cage size.... anything.... I just want to cry.

Going to the bike shed running 1/2 hour late for work and finding two flat tires. And one tube. And no patch kit.
Sometimes (not often though!) I regret going car free...

Well here's a doozy gang! Wake up on my day off to go trudging out to the barn to take care of the horses only to find out that all the snow that is melting has been running down hill and INTO MY BARN! There's about 5 inches of water EVERYWHERE and the rubber stall matts are floating. No, I don't own a sump pump or a wet-dry vac. And I couldn't buy enough pelleted bedding to sop all that up without making Oprah's paycheck! ( The good news is that the hay was spared because the wooden pallets kept them high enough off the ground. Just the stalls with the horses and the aisleway are effected. ) So for now, the horses are outside 24/7. Yeah its muddy out in the paddock and we'll go through round bales faster but at least the water has someplace to go and they can run uphill to get away from it.
But my bad luck for the day wasn't over yet.
Check the mail to find out hubby's car payment got returned 20 days AFTER it was due, due to a wrong address. He's pissed now!
But the bad luck for the day still wasn't over.
I decided since I wasn't going to buy bedding today, to spend time with the girls and have some fun. So I call up a co-worker and we decide to drive all the way over to Lancaster co. to check out this amish run tack shop to look at saddles. It's the first nice warm day and we were both itching to go out and do something. ( We should have gone in her truck! ) So I pick her up in the truck that we just got back from the mechanic after paying close to $2000.00 to get its transmission fixed. We get halfway there and its starts making weird noises. So we turn around to come home and it dies on us! Luckily on top of a hill. She didn't think she had her cell phone with her but luckily she did because mine was outta minutes. So we had to call a couple of girls from work to come and pick us up. The truck had to be towed back to the shop.
We weren't dropping parts on the road or billowing blue smoke and the oil was good. But hubby thinks we threw a road and that the engine is toast.
So pray for us guys that the repairs are minor. We live way out in the middle of nowhere so a vehicle is kinda essential. Now I have to go back to using "Sherman", the big diesel, as a commuter vehicle. ( It has no radio, no c/d player just the sound of that huge engine and it sucks down gas like a dehydrated camel! )
UGH! Can I go on vacation now???
