Wrong side of the bed
I’m almost sure I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I can feel the frustration welling up inside, i'm not even out the front door yet. Head tilted I see dark clouds forming above my head. They describe my mood perfectly. I’m not sure but they may be the darkest clouds I’ve ever seen. I’m wet before I’ve took a single step off the front porch and reminiscent of a wet dog by the time I have reached work, shaking my head simply to splash those lucky enough to own a car with the filthy water from kind hearted truckers who must have thought it would be a nice gesture to drown me as they passed by. The day continues to get better, My boss has today decided to grace us with her presence, she places a tray of stale cakes on the table, What is this? Lets celebrate how much of a bitch you are day, Why not, I’ll celebrate that. But as I approach the table my happiness was destined to be short lived as I discover its only her birthday. I do a quick u turn and make my way to the canteen where the overwhelming smell of smoke as I enter the room makes vomit creep up into the back of my mouth making me gag. I decide the safest place to be right now is probably the toilets. I sit on the stained seat just long enough for the faux celebration to be nearing an end. All the suck ups should have removed their tongues from my bosses arse by now. They make me sick. Any efforts that I make throughout the day which if I’m honest are few and far between all go unnoticed by her, as she sits on her pedestal shouting orders to us mere worker bees below her. I would love to kick that stool from underneath her But I don’t for now The clouds that had dispersed for the day have now come back to greet me as I leave the gates of my personal hell The rain drips down into my pathetic excuse for a coat soaking my neck and back And as I enter my dingy, some would say cosy flat I even begin to look forward to my microwave meal for one That was until it exploded after my wandering mind forgot about it Relief pours over me as I finally reach the safety of my bed The horrors of the day fading as I close my eyes Tomorrow I’m hoping to wake on the opposite side of the bed
