Today is an excellent example of why one should not go through life half-asleep. I think I got enough rest, but I was "not quite awake" when I went to shower. Consequently I sprayed my hair with antiperspirant instead of hairspray. I also missed my toothbrush when I applied toothpaste. Taking the later as a huge red flag, I went to get a cup of coffee. I heated and slurped some only to find it had gone rancid [Well in truth it started that way, as it was flavored coffee, but I had forgotten that my beloved wife had cooked up a pot last night]. With a prominent chemical taste in my mouth I settled on a can of Diet Dew, and got on with my morning.
Because I was half-asleep I also forgot the power cord to my computer.
I left the Blockbuster movies in the foyer and failed to check my morning blood sugar.
What a morning.
Then I got a call back from FOCUS who told me that due to an administration error my diploma was being withheld. They lost my high school transcripts and will not release my diploma until they get another copy.
The situation is I have to spend [another] $7 in order to get a document I paid $300 for. I have a letter saying I have graduated, and Argosy is satisfied that I have completed the program, but I can’t get a diploma. They have my University of River Falls transcripts, which does have my high school information (graduation year, GPA, etc.), but they need an official copy for their records to fulfill their accreditation requirements. I think that because they lost them, they should have to be dinged on their accreditation. Why should I be stressed and pressed into action to repair their error?
On top of all that I am getting a huge volume of crazy calls from external clients looking for stuff that is not even started. I am not allowed to tell them the truth [we are understaffed and hugely “log-jammed” and they can’t get their projects for a long time].
INSANITY LEVEL: GREEN but if I get one more stupid request it will be YELLOW

Beloved, I hate to tell you this but I actually didn't make coffee last night. I know I said I was going to, but I never got around to it. Just to warn you, I DID make a pot of flavored stuff this morning.
I'm sorry the morning was so rough. I never heard you get up, although I remember the stupid alarm, and I reset it so I could get up for therapy. Let's blame Paul.
PS: There is a Train on my chest.
I must have had a cup of stone or my cream went bad or I was just too asleep, because that was nasty.
