We've all had one of those days where everything goes great or everything goes wrong. In the last week, I've had three of those days.
Red Light Thursday. These days always start out normal. Wake up early, get ready for work, pack my lunch and have some toast. Kiss Charlene goodbye, give goodbye hugs to Nic and Trav and head out to ol' Blue, my pickup. That's when 'those' kind of days start. Either gonna be good or gonna be bad. Red Light Thursday was a bad one. Start to finish, as I approached a traffic light, it turned red. All day long. It really didn't bother me as I'm used to 'LA' style traffic - 75 mph, stop, 5 mph, stop, 75 mph, stop. After 10 years of this, I can take it in stride. I'm not rushing to the airport to catch a flight or on the way to the hospital with a trauma emergency, it's just driving around for work. But every light was red. And then..... and then, people started pulling out in front of me on the side streets, on the freeways, everywhere. And when I was working, I swear, everything I touched just got worse. Seems like I should have stayed in bed. I eventually made it home safely and it ceased being a bad day, unsafe day, frustrating day. Red Light Thursday. I'll remember that one for quite a while.
Green Light Tuesday. The name says it all. I think I hit every traffic signal green or turning green as I approached it. Traffic? Very light, no stop and go stuff, doing the speed limit. Work? A breeze! Everything just went great! Love to have more of those days. Green Light Tuesday was a wonderful experience.
Today was Dropped Screws Wednesday. I have a magnetizer in my tool bag that I use to keep my screwdrivers and cordless driver bits magnetized to hold screws whether I'm taking them out or putting them in and it's a lifesaver..... except today. Maybe the magnetic North and South poles reversed today or something but I just dropped screws all day long. Thank God screws fell onto the floor instead of inside the machines. That's a real pain in the butt! Sometimes I'll spend a good half-hour extra taking things apart to rescue a screw that can fall on a circuit board or into some gears. Not a good thing and it's frustratingly time consuming. But I fixed everything quickly, had a great attitude about it all and considered Dropped Screws Wednesday a pretty good day. No, it was a very good day!
We all have up days and down days and I hope yours are bright, happy and Green Light Tuesdays!
Even tho I am retired and EVERYday is Saturday, I still have red-light Thursdays & green-light Tuesdays. I know just what ya mean!
