Does anyone else just want to scream
"Does anyone out there love me?!"

What I was trying to say, have you ever had days when you thought everyone was against you? You know, Murphy Days.
Yesterday. I came in the first time on a weekend to my new work.
I was given a code for the alarm and a key.
First of all, the key is a bank key in other words not like a normal key but more differcult to use. (Like, who knew a key could be differcult?!) Then when I put my code in the alarm panel, guess what?! The alarm went off. I had to call my boss and explain why I couldn't hear her due to the sounds of the alarms. Finally I get the darn thing off. (After a half hour). After a half hour, There was a knock at the door of my work. As I walked over to the door, I tripped over a pizza box left by my co worker and stumbled to the door, There at the door, was a police officer. Just great. Oh did I tell you that I was wearing a slightly ragged t-shirt and cut off capri pants? Well it was hot and well, you know.. I was barefoot too. So the police office questioned that I was actually a person who worked there and took down my name. Triff.
Then the alarm company called, need I go on. So that's why I wrote what I wrote.
So its your turn tell me about your Murphy moments.. please?

Work on a weekend: Me, pony tail, no makeup - coworker left building, set alarm. It was a silent alarm. So me (sans shoes) is walking down a hallway, dancing, and drinking a soda. Suddenly I notice a face pressed to the window - it was the police and it was snowing outside. Fortunately since I knew how to turn the alarm off, he let me go. Then I had to call the alarm company and tell them Yes, everything was fine. Then I called the maintenance guy, to tell him to disregaurd the alarm.

My work is close to the airport, one Sunday before leaving for a business trip, I decide to stop by work and get a sweater I had left. Key got stuck in front door, would NOT budge, no amount of pulling, pushing, cussing or cajoling would move it. I had to call the, then in charge guy who told me "I dunno, just call someone". I called locksmith, changed my flight to a later one, and waited. Locksmith got here, squirted a little carbon in the lock and pulled the key out.... Aiyaya.

I named one of my pets Murphy, I figured if you can beat them, join them.

Hey there, Lessara! I totally identify with your posts and really cannot give you much more information because I feel that EVERY day is one of those days for me! So I need to deal with it as best I can---with a sense of humour and try to laugh at myself when I get too histrionic and tragical.

It also helps for me to remember that most people probably don't notice things as much as I would like to think in my most paranoid thinking. I should remember that I am not the center of anyone else's universe, and people are generally so self-absorbed that they don't notice me.

Or if they do: what's wrong with being a buffoon!

But mostly, I don't want to be loved, I want to be invisible!

I absolutely do not want anyone to notice me, comment on my weight loss, etc. I don't like feeling like I'm the center of anyone's attention, it's a very uncomfortable feeling for me. I'm a people watcher, I like to watch people but the idea of someone actually watching me gives me the willies

I, too, have crazy things happen that usually have to do with the fact that I work night shift in a hospital so that by the time relief staff are coming in in the morning and patient's start arriving for surgery, I've been awake something like 18 - 22+ hours and I am definitely not firing on all cylinders. But, does that occur to anybody else??? NNNOOO, they all just think I'm a dope!!! OH, well.....
