Default a bad afternoon?

Ok, yesterday after noon was probably one of my worst. I have been busting my *** for this one company writing quotes, invoices (which I get taxed for by the government wether I sell something or not), paying for samples calling, leaving messages and getting no response. What else am I supposed to do, kick down the client's door? You can only hold someones hand so much with out them getting pissed off. Well I finally got ahold of them yesterday and they said they already went with another vendor 2 F'N WEEKS AGO and that some of the prices were lower. They told me in a nice way that I sort of somehow dropped the ball on them. WTF!? I told them from square one that I will be more than happy to audit them and match prices. <sigh> So that was 3 grand that I didnt get, and then on the way home I hit a new mystery pothole, f'n SWEET! [:@] . So my front left hits it first and survives and my back left tire eats it like a fat girl on a cupcake and explodes on me. Then I had to pry with all my might to lift up my heavy custom trunk (I laid two 1x4"s to make the trunk sturdy with my sub on the right bolted to the frame) to lift my super donut out almost dislocating my shoulder in the proccess. Ughh. I pulled off the front while I was at it to check to see every thing is peachy and go figure, my brakes are almost GONE. Now Im in the hole for technically $100 for brakes, $50 for a tire, and 3k in sales.[:@]

Then I went to my girlfriends house and got some leg and she made everything better . Anybody have a bad day like this recently?

Agreed. I work for the government and they don't pay me nearly as much as I'm worth. Everyday starts off sweet for me, getting to my car, starting it and then driving to the train. That's when I start having a bad day. People pushing without any manners, cursing and all and looking at you as if you stole something. Then I get to work, I look out the window and I'm reminded why I hate this place. Right across the street from Ground Zero. After work it gets better as I can't wait to get into my car and drove a little then go home. I really love my car.

But hey, it could be worse, we could be driving hyundai's.
