As I felt the nail enter my foot I knew I was in for a bad day. I must have gotten out of the wrong side of bed, well obviously, there isn't a loose floorboard I've been meaning to fix on the other side. As I ease my foot off the nail I notice that it's an hour later than it should be, meaning there's no way I can get to work on time and just to be acceptably late I'm gonna have to skip lunch and a shower. My walk to the bus stop is a wary one, I need to get a grasp on the day as soon as possible. Sidestepping a pile of what appears to be horse manure I start to feel a bit more positive. I'm exceedingly pleased with myself when I spot some approaching pigeon overflow and neatly hop out the way of the landing zone. I feel much less pleased with myself as I fall into an inexplicably open manhole. I really really wish I'd got out of the other side of bed. 2008-04-10T17:30:34Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/27190 <p>Now that my friend, is what I call a bad day.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27190?basename=55417 2008-04-10T17:30:34Z Saint Chuck http://ficlets.com/authors/chuck_thelove <p>Days like those are tough. But ouch, a manhole? That would have to hurt, especially after stepping on a nail earlier.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27190?basename=55356 2008-04-10T00:51:22Z flute faerie http://ficlets.com/authors/user_6061 <p>Hehe, cute!

The second half isn&#8217;t partly stolen though, so yay me.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27190?basename=55306 2008-04-09T21:33:29Z Russell Ruffino http://ficlets.com/authors/ruffino
