Now this is what I call "life"!

My sister loves to read what ironic thing has happened to me each day. Luckily I don't write about all the stupid stuff, but something dumb does occur each and everyday. For instance, yesterday I was headed to the HS to pick up my son from soccer and well the air pressure light went off and the warning message pops up stating low tire pressure. So I turn around (luckily only a couple blocks from the house) pull safely into the driveway. Now don't tell my husband this, but I was actually thankful for the anniversary gift we got this year (together, but not really)...the air compressor. Of course, I know nothing about the air compressor, yet after a belligerent call to my husband on WHY nothing was coming out of the hose, I figured it out. I did, really, by myself. He was only on the phone for the rant and the "OH, Never-mind, I got it" part. Poor hubby. So the adventure continues. I get it attached and filled up the low, almost completely flat tire. Turned off the compressor and still hear this "sssssssss" sound...tire pressure coming out somewhere. Crap now know what I am getting for my birthday...2 new front tires. Hooorah! =( I guess appropriate considering my anniversary gift. ICK. Oh well, who really wants a Kindle DX or Planet Beach membership anyway.....Pity party complete.

So, call a dear friend who was luckily running around like her normal self...chicken with her head cut off.....seriously she does. I mean she has a tendency to be thinking about the next task while in her current one causing her to run into walls obliviously. However, she came to my rescue and went to pick up teenager from HS. Thanks CHAOS!!! Here is the ironic part of all of this, well first part. My son calls from friends phone - his is taken away for 3 weeks (school, grades) - asking why I am so late, I relate my tire mishap and he laughs and says, you were telling dad about that this morning that you thought the car was driving funny and tires looked like pressure needed to be checked. Light bulb....CLICK! I did, didn't I. Humm. Thank goodness someone listened.

The drama continues. So hubby was suppose to come home and check it out, put on spare...yadda yadda yadda...and well, didn't. So this morning as everyone was shuffling out the door for school and work, I asked hubby to see if tire held air. NOPE. Lovely, so guess I got out of grocery shopping today, but nothing else will get done either. YUCK. Since I don't have transportation, I won't be having lunch with daughter, who has been anticipating this all week. Gonna have to make that up next week. I guess I could clean, but don't want to, guess I will watch all 6 shows that record on Thursdays because that is the only day of the week everyone plays their good shows.

Now this is where "life" becomes "Murphy"!!!

Got through one then phone rang. Hoorah, someone wants to talk to me today. Here comes the second irony....It was the lady I had interviewed with at the beginning of the week, with my semi-bald eyelids from my eyelash fiasco. She was calling to let me know that they had completed all of the interviews and she was calling to let everyone know that they had made a decision....Great so flat tire, no job. Wrong! Then she proceeded to thank me for my Thank You note, she really appreciated it. =D She also said that she thought based on my resume, cover letter and interview that I would be a wonderful addition to their team and that I would also be a reliable addition to their team and wanted to know if I would like to work with them. Squealed YEEEESSSSSSSS! in my head.....deep breath deep breath. In my most professional tone stated, "I know that I am perfect for this position and I would love to become part of the team". We then discussed paperwork and she would like to get it started as soon as possible to get it pushed through. If I could come today that would be great, but since I am not just down the street could come when it was convenient. Irony: DANG IT, big flat truck tire! Ms. Employer,"I would head over there this afternoon; however, I have a flat tire on my truck" (mentally: that my husband didn't change last night.) "I can be there first thing Monday morning"...."Perfect, I will have it all ready...blah blah logistics...goodbyes". Hang up.

With call completely disconnected...get off couch do happy dance followed by high pitched squeal, WOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOO I got a job, I got a job, I got a job. Yes, yes yes yes yes! WHOOOOP WHOOOP! My dog felt it appropriate to chime in with me at this point. Cat looks up disgruntled and annoyed that I was disturbing her nap, then lazily puts it back down and continues nap. WHOOOOOP WHOOOP! Followed by frantic, "Guess What, Guess What?" texts to various people and phone calls. :D

Now, you decide if this is irony or foreshadowing....my wish-she-was-my-sister-sista, made a comment while she was here Tuesday that my front tires were looking a little rough and I will probably have to get new ones soon! Thanks A LOT! She totally should know better, that was just inviting Murphy in. BRAT.
